2016考研双语新闻阅读：矮个男人更长寿
个子矮未必是坏处。研究显示，在日本男人中。矮个和长寿之间有直接联系。
Being short is not necessarily a disadvantage.Short height and long life have a direct connection Japanese men, according to a research among Japanese men.
布莱德利·韦尔考克斯博士表示，”我们把测试者分成两组：一组身高不超过5尺2，另一组身高高于5尺4.“他在此次研究中担任调查员之一;此外，他还是夏威夷大学老年医学系的一名教授。
"We split people into two groups - those that were 5-foot-2 and shorter, and 5-4 and taller," said Dr Bradley Willcox, one of the investigators for the study and a Professor in the University of Hawaii (UH) John A Burns School of Medicine's Department of Geriatric Medicine.
”高5尺2及以下的测试者寿命最长。样本的身高范围非常广，从5尺到6尺都有。人越高，寿命就越短。“韦尔考克斯说。但他也特别提到，”无论长多高，都是可以活得很健康的。“
"The folks that were 5-2 and shorter lived the longest. The range was seen all the way across from being 5-foot tall to 6-foot tall. The taller you got, the shorter you lived," said Willcox.But he noted that "no matter how tall you are, you can still live a healthy lifestyle".
