升职也烦恼：白领的健康定时炸弹(图)

　　While some 13 million Americans are out of work these days, thosestill with jobs might have a strange new thing to worry about--getting apromotion can be bad for you, a new study suggests。

　　虽然大约有1300万的美国人现在没有工作，不过那些有工作的人现在可能要去担心一件奇怪的事情：根据一项新的研究显示，升职可能对你有害。

　　British researchers found that when people get promoted, theysuffer on average about 10 percent more mental strain and are lesslikely to find the time to go to the doctor。

　　英国的研究人员发现，当人们获得提升时，他们平均会增加10%的精神压力，而且还往往找不出时间去看医生。

　　"Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people think.Our research finds that the mental health of managers typicallydeteriorates after a job promotion, and in a way that goes beyond merelya short-term change," said Chris Boyce of the University of Warwick."There are no indications of any health improvements for promoted peopleother than reduced attendance at GP surgeries [i.e. doctors visits],which may itself be something to worry about rather than celebrate."

　　“在工作上获得提升并不像很多人想的那么棒。我们的研究发现，经理的心理健康往往在提升之后下降，而且在某些方面，这不仅仅是个短期的变化。”Warwick大学的ChrisBoyce说，“没有任何一种迹象显示在获得提升之后，健康水平也会提高。唯一的变化是去看医生的次数变少了，而这本身可能也是需要担心而非庆祝的事情。”

　　Other research has found stress can be deadly, raising the risk ofeverything from the common cold to cancer. Other recent revelationsabout stress:

　　其他的研究发现，压力可能是致命的，它会提升包括从普通的感冒到癌症在内的所有疾病的患病机会。近期发现的其他一些和压力有关的因素包括：

　　* Stress makes us forget things. 压力让我们健忘。

　　* Happily married women suffer less stress. 婚姻幸福的女性压力较小。

　　* Job stress in particular has been shown to fuel disease. 工作压力尤其容易使疾病恶化。

　　Those who were promoted reported on average a 20 percent fall intheir visits to a doctor following their promotion. The researchersfigure this owed to the stress of the new job and the sudden lack oftime。

　　升职的人表示，升职后他们去看医生的次数减少了20%。研究者们认为这是由于新工作的压力和时间的突然减少造成的。

　　The research, using data from an annual survey of Brits, includedinformation about about 1,000 people who had been promoted. The findingswill be presented later this month at a conference of the RoyalEconomic Society。

　　根据英国年度调查资料所进行的这项研究，涵盖了大约1000名刚获提升的人。这项研究结果将会在这月底的皇家经济协会的会议上发表。
