It’s common knowledge that there are many benefits to being fit, but one large new study found that skipping out on the gym is practically the worst thing you can do for your health.
众所周知，保持健康有很多好处，但是一项新的大型研究发现，放弃健身是对你身体健康所做的最糟糕的事情。
skip out：逃避、放弃
In fact, the study claims not exercising might be more harmful to your health than smoking.
事实上，这项研究声称不锻炼可能比吸烟对你的健康危害更大。
New findings, published Friday in the journal JAMA Network Open, detail how researchers at the Cleveland Clinic studied 122,007 patients from 1991 to 2014, putting them under treadmill testing and later recording mortality rates.
周五发表在《JAMA Network Open》杂志上的新发现，详细描述了克利夫兰诊所的研究人员如何从1991年到2014年的研究，他们对122007名患者进行了跑步机测试，并随后记录死亡率。
Researchers found a clear connection between a longer, healthier life and high levels of exercise. The report calls for health care professionals to encourage patients to achieve and maintain a robust fitness routine.
研究人员发现，健康长寿和高水平运动之间有着明显的联系。该报告呼吁医护专业人员鼓励患者培养并保持一个稳定的健身习惯。
robust：稳健的
“Cardiorespiratory fitness is inversely associated with long-term mortality with no observed upper limit of benefit,” the study says. “Extremely high aerobic fitness was associated with the greatest survival and was associated with benefit in older patients and those with hypertension.”
“心肺耐力锻炼与长期死亡率成反比，并且没有观察到受益上限，”研究说。极高的有氧健身与最大的存活率之间有所关联，对老年患者和高血压患者也有益处。
inversely：相反的
Although it is widely understood that an active lifestyle can lead to a healthy life, the study concludes that a sedentary lifestyle is the equivalent of having a major disease and the simplest cure is exercise.
虽然人们普遍认为积极的生活方式可以带来健康的生活，但研究得出结论，久坐的生活方式等同于患上大病，最简单的治疗方法是锻炼。
sedentary：坐着的;（指工作等）坐着干的;案头的;（指人）不爱活动的
Dr Wael Jaber, co-author of the study, called the results surprising.
这项研究的联合作者Wael Jaber博士称这一结果令人吃惊。
“Being unfit on a treadmill or in an exercise stress test has a worse prognosis, as far as death, than being hypertensive, being diabetic or being a current smoker,” Jaber told CNN. “We’ve never seen something as pronounced as this and as objective as this.”
Jaber告诉CNN：“在跑步机上、或运动负荷试验中由于身体不适导致死亡的预测，甚至比那些罹患高血压、糖尿病、或吸烟者的预测更加糟糕。”“我们从来没有见过像这一样明显、且客观的结论。”
prognosis：预测;[医]预后，判病结局
hypertensive：高血压的
pronounced：明显的，显著的;决然的，断然的;强硬的;被说出来的
The study also took a look at the risk of being overactive and found that “ultra” exercisers do not face higher risk of death: the research consistently found that the more a person exercises the lower their mortality rates.
这项研究还调查了过度运动的风险，并发现“过度”运动者不会面临更高的死亡风险：研究不断地发现，一个人运动得越多，死亡率就越低。
consistently：一贯地，坚持地，固守地;总
