Boredom traditionally has a bad reputation. In 2009, a study of 7,524 civil servants found that those with the highest levels of boredom were nearly 40% more likely to have died by the end of the 25-year trial, compared with those who weren’t bored. The bored civil servants were also more prone to rate their health worse and to be less active and have more menial jobs. The authors speculated that boredom and inactivity might drive people to drink more heavily and smoke – activities not related to longevity. 传统意义上，无聊是个不好的词。在2009年，一项针对7524个行政人员的研究发现，那些有最高无聊程度的人，跟不无聊的人相比，有超过接近40%的可能在25年后死去。那些无聊的行政人员还更容易轻视自己的健康状况，变得更不积极并从事更多脑力劳动。作者推测，无聊和不活跃或许会驱使人加重酗酒和吸烟，即一些违背长寿的活动。 |
