%BA%8C册第三单元翻译参考答案及课文翻译 Book Two Unit Three Page 70 　　纵观全球，有一样是相同的——女性比男性长寿。一部分原因是男性造成的。男性吸烟、喝酒多于女性，且冒生命危险多于女性。但行为并不能完全解释寿命差距。压力、单X 染色体理论也都不是答案。答案或许应该是荷尔蒙。雌激素让40岁以前的女性心脏病死亡率大大低于男性。而在雄激素作用之下，男孩进入青春期之后，体内的HDL 胆固醇，即有益胆固醇水平急剧下降。女孩则保持稳定。但并非所有差异都对女性有利。女性尽管较少患致命的疾病，但更容易患上各种日常病痛。如今，男性在行为上向女性靠拢，寿命上的差距正在缩小。 　　One thing is the same all over the world — women outlive men. Part of the reasons are self-inflicted. Men smoke more than women, drink more and take more life-threatening chances. But behavior doesn’t explain away the longevity gap. Nor is stress or the single “X” theory the answer. The answer may rather be hormones. Estrogen keeps women before age 40 much lower than men in mortality rate for heart diseases. But when boys hit adolescence and testosterone kicks in, their level of HDL cholesterol, “good cholesterol”, plunges. In girls, HDL levels hold steady. But not every difference between the sexes favors women. While they are less vulnerable than men to life-threatening diseases, they are more vulnerable to everyday sicknesses and pain. Nowadays, the longevity gap is shrinking because men are behaving more like women. Page 73 1.
