其他的人们希望活到100岁,甚至更久。

英国的平均预期年龄是81.5岁,美国为78.7岁。
Professor Vegard Skirbekk, from the Columbia Aging Center said: 'We were particularly interested in whether how long people want to live would be related to their expectations about what their life in old age will be like.
哥伦比亚老年化中心的韦加尔•希尔贝克教授说:“人们希望活多久和他们对老年生活的期望之间是否有关?我们对这一点尤其感兴趣。”
'For many, it seems that the fear of becoming old may outweigh the fear of dying.'
“对于许多人来说,对变老的恐惧超过了对死亡的恐惧。”
The results confirmed those who had fewer positive expectations of growing old preferred to die earlier, before reaching average life expectancy.
研究结果也证实,对老年生活没有太多正面预期的人更希望早点死去,不愿活到平均预期寿命。
And conversely, those who had fewer negative expectations of old age wanted their lives to go on for longer.
