One study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health looked at survey data from more than 260,000 people.
Those who drank at least four cans of regular soda per day were 30 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with depression.
People who drank diet soda were even more prone to depression, at 31 percent.
Even if studies have not proven that drinking diet soda can trigger depression, there is a link.
国家健康卫生研究院的研究人员做了一项26万人的调查。
每天饮用超过4罐含糖汽水的人,就有30%被诊断出可能患有抑郁症。
饮用无糖汽水的人则更容易情绪沮丧,比例达到了31%。
即使研究尚未证明喝无糖饮料能触发抑郁,但也存在着相关性。
【讲解】
文中的###diet soda就是“无糖汽水”的意思,也可以译为“低糖汽水”,如:7UP DIET SODA(无糖七喜),其中diet作名词意为“(日常)饮食,特种饮食”,如:high-protein diet(高蛋白食物);go on a diet(节食);相关的词汇还有:carbonated drinks(碳酸饮料),soft drinks(软饮料),sports drinks(运动饮料)等。
最后一句中的trigger用作动词,意为“触发,激发”,尤指一系列不好的事情,如:The hijacking triggered a spate of terrorist activities.(这次劫机引发了许多恐怖活动。)
