原文：Since the simplest way to learn about someone’s physical and emotional

state is to ask, researchers affiliated with the ongoing study visited each

patient the day after his or her heart attack and went through a questionnaire

that included the entries: “Were you engaged in heavy physical exertion?” and

“Were you angry or emotionally upset?” The patients were asked to respond yes or

no about how they had felt in the hour just before their symptoms began and also

during the same hour the day before.

参考译文：因为了解一个人的身体和心理状况的最简单办法是询问，所以，与这项在研项目相关的研究人员在患者心脏病发作一天后与他们进行访谈，完成一份问卷，包括如下问题：“你是不是从事了剧烈的身体运动?”以及“你是否感到愤怒或情绪低落?”患者被要求就症状出现前一小时以及前一天同个时段的感觉回答“是”或者“否”。

原文：Compared to how they felt the day before the heart attack, people had

about twice the risk of a heart attack when they were extremely active and about

the same risk when they were feeling very emotional. Combining those states and

exercising while upset tripled someone’s risk of a heart attack compared to their

risk the day before. Factoring in people’s age, general levels of physical

fitness, body weight and smoking history did not change the results.

参考译文：与心脏病发作的前一天的感觉相比，如果活动过于剧烈，心脏病发作的风险大约增加一倍，如果情绪非常激动，风险也接近。如果既有这些心理状态，又在沮丧时运动，那么心脏病发作的风险就是前一天的三倍。年龄、身体的整体健康水平、体重、吸烟史等因素都对这些结果没有影响。

upset adj. 令人沮丧的

triple v. 三倍

body weight 体重
