科學美國人60秒中英文翻譯：網絡社交與低死亡率
科學美國人60秒英文文本
This is Scientific American — 60-Second Science. I'm Christopher Intagliata.
Exercise and healthful eating are linked to better health—and so is having a decent circle of friends. Now it looks like that link between friends and better health is true for the major online social network, too: Facebook.
Researchers compared the health records of 12 million Facebook users to non-users, in California. After controlling for things like age, race, and gender, they found that being on Facebook was associated with a slightly lower risk of death in a given year.
Now, some of that could be explained by the fact that Facebook users might be more affluent, or have better access to healthcare. So the researchers did a second analysis—by looking only at Facebook and non-Facebook users on the California voter rolls, which is a sort of proxy control for socioeconomic status. And the association still held up. The study is in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Of course correlation does not equal causation. Posting more photos isn't going to increase your lifespan. But the takeaway here is that, in some cases—like when people tag you in their photos—that online world can reflect real world ties. Interactions on Facebook are thus reflective of your actual human relationships—and might even reinforce them. Which certainly seems like a thumbs up.
Thanks for listening for Scientific American — 60-Second Science Science. I'm Christopher Intagliata.

Exercise and healthful eating are linked to better health—and so is having a decent circle of friends. 鍛煉和健康飲食與健康密切相相關，同樣也與良好的朋友圈相關。
Now it looks like that link between friends and better health is true for the major online social network, too: Facebook. 現在看起來，對在線社交網絡臉譜網來說，朋友和健康之間的關系是真實的。
Researchers compared the health records of 12 million Facebook users to non-users, in California. 研究人員對加州1200萬名臉譜網用戶以及非用戶的健康記錄進行了比較。
After controlling for things like age, race, and gender, 在控制年齡、種族、性別等因素后，
they found that being on Facebook was associated with a slightly lower risk of death in a given year. 研究人員發(fā)現，在給定年份中，臉譜網用戶的死亡風險略低。
Now, some of that could be explained by the fact that Facebook users might be more affluent, 部分原因是臉譜網用戶可能比較富裕，
or have better access to healthcare. 或者他們有更好的醫(yī)療條件。
So the researchers did a second analysis— 所以，研究人員進行了二次分析，
by looking only at Facebook and non-Facebook users on the California voter rolls, 只觀察加州選民名單上的臉譜網用戶和非臉譜網用戶，
which is a sort of proxy control for socioeconomic status. 這相當于社會經濟地位的代理控制。
And the association still held up. 結果表明，上述關系仍然成立。
The study is in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 該研究結果發(fā)表在《美國國家科學院院刊》上。
Of course correlation does not equal causation. 當然，相關并不等于因果關系。
Posting more photos isn't going to increase your lifespan. 上傳更多的照片并不會增加你的壽命。
But the takeaway here is that, in some cases—like when people tag you in their photos— 但是問題在于，在某些情況下，當人們在他們的照片中對你進行標記時，
that online world can reflect real world ties. 網絡世界可以反映出真實世界的關系。
Interactions on Facebook are thus reflective of your actual human relationships—and might even reinforce them. 臉譜網上的互動反映了你實際的人際關系，甚至還會強化這種關系。
Which certainly seems like a thumbs up. 這就像點贊一樣。
