过分孤独不仅会造成性格孤僻，还会对身体健康带来影响

A strong social network is crucial for mental as well as physical well-being, finds a study, suggesting that isolation can lead to health problems, especially for those who move places for better career opportunities.

强大的社交网络对精神健康和身体健康至关重要，一项研究发现表明，孤立可能导致健康问题，特别是那些为了更好的职业机会而搬家的人。

Researchers from Concordia University found that immigrants who were able to form friendships and get involved in new social networks during their first five months in Canada had increases in heart rate variability.

Concordia大学的研究人员发现，在加拿大的头五个月中，能够结交友谊并参与新社交网络的移民心率变异性增加。

While those who remained socially isolated over time showed a decrease, Science Daily reported.

《科学日报》报道说，随着时间推移，社会孤立者的人数减少。

“The study shows that such prolonged social isolation can have a negative effect on physical health.

"研究表明，这种长期的社会隔离可能会对身体健康产生负面影响。"

That applies not just to international students but to anyone moving to a new country or city or anyone experiencing major social changes,” explained Jean-Philip pe Gouin, a Concordia psychology professor.

这不仅适用于国际学生，也适用于任何人前往新的国家或城市或任何经历重大社会变化的人，Concordia心理学教授Jean-Philip pe Gouin解释说。

“The more quickly you manage to integrate socially in your new home, the healthier you will be.

“你越能够在社交上融入你的新家，你就会越健康。”

It is easier said than done, but it is worth it, Gouin concluded.

说起来容易做起来难，但为了你的健康这是值得的，Gouin总结道。
