Melbourne, Feb 8 (ANI): Boredom can actually kill you, a new study has revealed.

来自伦敦大学学院(University College London)的一项研究显示：无聊、厌烦(Boredom)也会杀掉你。

To reach the conclusion, researchers at University College London looked at data from 7524 civil servants, aged between 35 and 55, interviewed between 1985 and 1988 about their levels of boredom.They then found out whether they had died by April last year.

据说研究人员查到了7524名35-55岁的公务员在1985年-1988年之间的“无聊水平数据(levels of boredom)”，然后看看这些人去年四月份还都活着没有。

Those who reported feeling a great deal of boredom were 37 per cent more likely to have died by the end of the study, the researchers found.

然后，惊人的发现：无聊等级越高的人，死得越快！具体来说便是：拥有高无聊level的人里面有37%都去了天国。

Scientists said that this could be a result of those unhappy with their lives turning to such unhealthy habits as smoking or drinking, which would cut their life expectancy.
"The findings on heart disease show there was sufficient evidence to say there is a link with boredom," the Courier Mail quoted researcher Martin Shipley, who co-wrote the report, as saying.

科学家推论：无聊的人，一般都是对现有的生活不满意，但又无法做出什么突破。于是便转向吸烟酗酒等不良习惯，最终这些习惯导致他们寿命变短。例如心脏病，便很容易联系上“无聊”。

The study is to be published in the International Journal of Epidemiology this week.

这个研究结果将发布在这周的《国际流行病学期刊》上。

（小编有话说：看到文末，我依然不大相信有人会去做这样无聊的研究，还要发表了！= =
认真的问个问题：真的，真的，有“无聊水平”这样的统计数据吗？！Orz~）
