“一般说来， '比上'让人感觉更遗憾，'比下'则能舒缓情绪。”

"When they compare themselves to people who are better off, it can make them feel worse."

“一般说来， '比上'让人感觉更遗憾，'比下'则能舒缓情绪。”

The researchers asked 104 adults of various ages to complete a survey about their greatest regrets.

研究人员让104名年龄各异的成人完成一项关于人生最大遗憾的调查。

These ranged from not spending enough time with their family to having married the wrong person. Participants were then asked to report how the severity of their own regrets compared to the regrets of other people their age。

遗憾包括与家人相聚时间太少，夫妻性格不合等。实验要求受试者根据同龄人的遗憾报告自己的遗憾程度。

The scientists found those who regularly considered those less fortunate than themselves reported a positive effect on their emotional well-being。

科学家发现那些经常和不及自己幸运的人比较的人心理情绪状态更为积极。

Senior author Professor Carsten Wrosch, said: "The emotional distress of regrets can trigger biological disregulation of the hormone and immune systems that makes people more vulnerable to develop clinical health problems - whether a cold or other potentially longer-term health problems. "

高级作家卡斯腾?霍什教授说：“心理遗憾导致的情绪压力会引发荷尔蒙和免疫系统紊乱，让人更容易出现临床健康问题，像感冒或者其他潜在的长期健康隐患。”
