文字稿
We really do take our coffee seriously here. In London, it’s no longer a drink associated with life’s vices such as cigarettes or alcohol. Researchers at Imperial College London monitored half a million people over 16 years – the effects of coffee were noticeable. Men who drank coffee, on average, lived an extra three months, women an extra one month.
我們倫敦人真的很把喝咖啡當回事。在這裡，人們不再把喝咖啡與吸煙、喝酒等生活惡習聯系在一起。倫敦帝國理工學院的研究人員們在對五十萬名調查對象進行瞭16年的密切觀察後發現喝咖啡對他們產生的效果是顯而易見的。在被調查的對象中，喝咖啡的男性比不喝咖啡的男性平均多活瞭三個月，而喝咖啡的女性則比不喝咖啡的女性平均多活瞭一個月。
