For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.
2000多年来，世界上伟大的宗教一直在教导人们相信他人的美德。现在，还有另一个理由值得时代的智慧：科学证据表明，那些有着信任之心的人会活得更长、更健康。
As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type. A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe that Type As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.
20世纪70年代，迈耶·弗里德曼（Meyer Friedman）和雷·H·罗森曼（Ray H. Rosenman）这两位开创性的心脏专家发表了这项研究，几乎每个美国人都知道血型。没有耐心的人容易产生敌意和愤怒。许多人开始相信，A型血的人心脏病发作或死于心脏病的风险比其他人高得多。
The driving force behind hostility is a cynical mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.
敌意背后的驱动力是愤世嫉俗者对他人的不信任。如果我们期望别人虐待我们，我们很少失望。这会引发愤怒，并导致我们以敌意回应。
The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.
愤世嫉俗者最典型的态度是怀疑他不认识的人的动机。想象一下，你在等电梯，电梯在两层楼上停的时间比平时长。你会想太不体贴人了。在几秒钟内，你就对看不见的人及其动机得出了充满敌意的结论。
Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.
与此同时，愤世嫉俗的不信任正在导致明显的身体后果。你的声音提高了，你的呼吸频率和深度都会增加。你的心跳越来越快，越来越剧烈，手臂和腿部的肌肉也变得紧绷。你感觉“充满活力”，随时准备行动。
If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.
如果你经常有这种感觉，你可能会增加患严重健康问题的风险。愤怒会增加患心脏病和其他疾病的风险。
