While Galkin said the figure is an estimate, not least as the model assumes that different feelings such as hopelessness or fearfulness are independent of each other, the study highlights the importance of psychological state in how fast we age.
尽管加尔金说这个数字只是一个估计，尤其是因为该模型假设绝望或恐惧等情绪是相互独立的，但这项研究强调了心理状态对我们衰老速度的重要性。
1.not least: used to emphasize that something is important

The oceans take up around 10% more of humanity’s carbon emissions than previously thought. Thisuptakeslows global warming but worsens problems such as ocean acidification. Over the past 200 years, our planet’s oceans have absorbed more than a quarter of allanthropogeniccarbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But estimates of the precise size of this ‘carbon sink’ vary.
海洋的碳汇能力比之前人们认为的要多，约占到人类碳排放量的10%。这种吸收减缓了全球变暖，但加剧了海洋酸化等问题。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布～但人们对“碳汇”精准规模的计量各有不同。
As a result, their acidity has increased by nearly 30 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. In this regard, the water’s pH value isn’t constant; it varies both seasonally and regionally. The lowest values naturally occur in winter.
因此，自工业革命开始以来，海洋的酸度增加了近30%。在这方面，水的pH值不是恒定的；它在季节和区域上都有变化。pH最低值自然出现在冬季。
Jens Terhaar at the University of Bern in Switzerland and his colleagues analysed models and observations of carbon flowing in and out of the ocean. They found three factors that influence the size of the carbon sink.
瑞士伯尔尼大学的延斯·特哈尔和他的同事分析了碳进出于海洋中的模型以及观测结果。他们发现有三个因素会影响碳汇的大小。
One is how salty the waters are in a particular zone in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. A second is the strength of anocean-currentpattern in the North Atlantic Ocean. The third is a measure of how much CO2 seawater can absorb in given atmospheric conditions.
其一是南极附近南太平洋某一特定区域的海水的咸度。其二是北大西洋洋流模式的强度。其三是衡量特定大气环境下海水能吸收二氧化碳的能力。
By focusing on how these three factors feed into climate models, the scientists were able to match the models to observations more accurately, thus reducing uncertainties in the size of the carbon sink. The extra uptake would balance out only two to four years of global CO2 emissions at currentrates.
科学家们通过观察这三个因素对气候模型的影响，能够更准确地将模型与观测结果相匹配，从而减少衡量碳汇大小的不确定性。以目前的速度，海洋增加的碳汇能力只能吸收全球2-4年的二氧化碳排放量。
