时差N小时:工作的不安全感 Job insecurity

YAEL:Welcome to A Moment of Science, thepopular science radio show that's both fun andinformative.

雅艾尔:欢迎收听既有趣又增进知识的科普广播节目科学时刻。

Today's Topic on Moment of Science is:You're Fired.

今天节目的话题是:你被解雇了。

Hey, did I read that right?

嘿,我这样读对吗?

DON:Yep. You're fired. How do you feel?

唐:没错。你被解雇了。你感觉如何?

YAEL:Waddaya mean, how do I feel?

雅艾尔:伙计，你的意思是我的感觉?

DON:I mean, do you feel less healthythan before I fired you?

唐:我的意思是你觉得自己比我解雇你之前健康指数下降了吗?

How's your weight? What about your cholesterol rate?

你的体重如何?你的胆固醇率如何?

YAEL:Okay, okay . . .this is one of your set-ups.

雅艾尔:好吧,好吧。。。原来是你的小计俩。

I'm not really fired, am I?

我不是真的被开除吧?

DON:Well, no. It's all a cruel ploy to get me to today's subject . . . which is that jobinsecurity can affect your health.

唐:嗯,肯定不会。这都是为了引出我今天的主题…即工作的不安全感可以影响你的健康。

YAEL:Yeah. It just about gave me a heart attack.

雅艾尔:是的。刚刚那条噩耗差点让我心脏病发作。

DON:A study in the American Journal of Public Health shows that heart attacks are no joke forpeople who suspect they are going to be laid off.

唐：一项刊登在《美国公共卫生杂志》的研究表明对于那些忧心忡忡自己会被解雇的人来说，心脏病可不是闹着玩的。

Over four years, a study group with imperiled jobs was found to have a forty to sixty percentgreater occurrence of heart disease than a control group whose jobs were secure.

小组经过4年的研究发现，相比那些工作稳定之人，陷入危机的人心脏病发作的几率要高百分之四十至六十。

And that's not all.

而且还不止这些。

People in insecure jobs also gained weight, overslept, tended to avoid exercise, and hadhigher cholesterol rates.

工作不稳定的人还容易体重增加，失眠，总是拒绝运动，进而胆固醇偏高。

YAEL:Wow. I guess the shaky economy hurts everything. Even our bodies!

雅艾尔:哇。我想经济不稳定会有害于一切。甚至是人们的身体!

DON:Even our bodies.

唐:是的，甚至是我们的身体。
