孤獨(dú)已成為美國的一大'流行病'

A new report finds many Americans are lonely, and younger adults appear to be the hardest hit.

一項(xiàng)最新調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，很多美國人感到孤獨(dú)，其中年輕人是最孤獨(dú)的群體。

Health insurer Cigna's 2018 US Loneliness Index found that 46% of Americans report feeling lonely sometimes or always, and 47% report feeling left out. Cigna calls those "epidemic levels."

據(jù)信諾保險(xiǎn)公司2018年度“美國人孤獨(dú)指數(shù)”顯示，46%的美國人有時(shí)或經(jīng)常感到孤獨(dú)，47%覺得被遺忘。信諾公司稱這已達(dá)到“流行病”的程度。

A little less, 43%, report feeling isolated from others, and the same number report feeling they lack companionship and their relationships lack meaning.

43%的人覺得與人群格格不入，還有43%的人覺得缺少陪伴，認(rèn)為他們的人際關(guān)系沒有意義。

The report, conducted in partnership with Ipsos, surveyed 20,000 people in the US using UCLA's Loneliness Scale.

這份報(bào)告由信諾和益普索合作完成，借助“UCLA孤獨(dú)量表”調(diào)查了兩萬名美國人。

Feelings of loneliness are worse in younger generations than in older ones, with GenerationZers, ages 18-22, and Millennials (ages 23 to 37) reporting higher feelings of loneliness and isolation on the Loneliness Scale than older generations.

相較于年長(zhǎng)的群體，年輕人“感到孤獨(dú)”的情況更嚴(yán)重。孤獨(dú)量表報(bào)告中Z世代(18-22歲)及千禧一代(23-37歲)的年輕人感到孤獨(dú)和隔絕的程度比年長(zhǎng)的群體更高。

Gen Zers, scored a loneliness rate of 48.3 out of 80, making them the loneliest generation.

Z世代的年輕人，在80分總分的測(cè)試中得分48.3分，成為最孤獨(dú)的一代。

Millennials were close behind with a score of 45.3, followed by Generation X (ages 38 to 51) with a loneliness score of 45.1. The so-called Greatest Generation, those age 72 or over, ranked as the least lonely, with a score of 38.6.

千禧一代以45.3分稍稍落后，排在后面的是(38-51歲)的X世代，他們的孤獨(dú)得分是45.1分。最偉大的一代(年齡超過72歲)則以38.6分成為最不孤獨(dú)的一代。
