Kishan Bakrania, a medical epidemiologist at the University of Leicester, told The Sunday Times: 'We know that regularly driving for more than two or three hours a day is bad for your heart. This research suggests it is bad for your brain too, perhaps because your mind is less active in those hours.'

莱斯特大学的流行病学家齐山·巴克兰尼亚向《星期日泰晤士报》透露：“我们知道每天驾驶时间经常超过两三个小时对心脏有害。这项研究表明，每天驾驶时间太长对大脑也有害，这可能是因为大脑在驾车期间不如往常活跃。”

Previous studies have found that long periods of inactivity have a detrimental affect on brainpower and Dr Bakrania's research shows similar results for those who watched more than two hours of television a day.

以往的研究已经发现，大脑长时间不活跃会对智力造成不良影响。巴克兰尼亚博士的研究表明，每天看电视时间超过两个小时也会造成类似的后果。

But the study also found using computers actually boosted people's cognitive stills, leading the scientist to propose another potential factor for driving's negative effects.

但该研究也发现，使用电脑的确会提高人们的认知能力，这使得科学家们对长时间驾驶会产生负面影响的可能原因提出另一种解答。

'Driving causes stresses and fatigue, with studies showing the links between them and cognitive decline.'
