起名字或能影響人的壽命，我不信！.

　　Having a traditional name may add up to a year toyour life, suggests a new study that found black menwith historically distinctive names, such as Elijah andMoses, lived a year longer than other black males.

　　近日一項新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，取了以利亞、摩西等帶有歷史特色名字的黑人男子的壽命比其他黑人男子多出一年，這表明有個傳統(tǒng)的名字可能會讓你延壽一年。

　　The researchers ruled out socioeconomic andenvironmental factors such as single-parenthouseholds, education and occupation. "A wholeadditional year on their lives, in mortality terms, isremarkable," Cook said.

　　The study examined 3 million death certificates from 1802 to 1970. Other studies that looked atcurrent black names such as Jamal and Lakisha suggest that having these modern-daymonikers leads to discrimination.

　　這項研究分析了1802-1970年間300萬份死亡證明書。其他研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)，例如賈馬爾、拉吉薩這些現(xiàn)代黑人的名字會導(dǎo)致歧視。

　　The researchers said that men with these Old Testament names may have been held to a higherstandard in academic and other activities, and had stronger family or community ties and allof these help these men live longer.

　　研究人員表示，名字取自《舊約》的人可能會在學(xué)習(xí)等其他方面被寄予較高的期望，他們有著更為穩(wěn)固的家庭或社區(qū)關(guān)系，所有這些都幫助他們活得更長。
