　　A growing body of research shows that people who spend time outside in sunny, green and natural spaces tend to be happier and healthier than those who don’t. A study from Stanford last year, for example, found that young adults who walked for an hour through campus parkland were less anxious afterward and performed better on a test of working memory than if they had strolled along a busy street.

　　越来越多的研究表明，在阳光灿烂、绿意盎然的自然环境中度过更多时光的人比其他人更快乐、更健康。例如，斯坦福大学(Stanford)去年的一项研究发现，与在繁忙的街道散步相比，年轻人在校园草地散步一小时后，焦虑水平更低，在工作记忆测试中的表现也更好。

　　【犀利观点】放松&心理健康：

　　A growing body of research shows that people who spend time outside in sunny, green and natural spaces tend to be happier and healthier than those who don’t.

　　Precisely what is going on inside our bodies as we move through the greenery is largely unknown, however. It hasn’t even been made clear that nature itself is responsible for the greatest health benefits — they may come instead from physical activity, sunlight or, if you stroll with others, camaraderie. Now a new study published in The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health takes a step toward sorting these interactions out by focusing on pictures of the outdoors rather than on the real thing.

　　不过，我们对人在绿色环境中活动时身体里的确切情况基本不了解。我们甚至不清楚，对健康最有益的到底是大自然本身，还是身体活动、阳光或同伴情谊(如果是你和别人一起散步的话)。《国际环境研究和公共健康杂志》(The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)目前发表的一项新研究试图弄清这些互相关系。它把焦点放在户外照片上，而非真实的户外环境上。
