Unhealthy middle-aged¹ people must improve their lifestyles if they want to enjoy a healthy retirement², a new government campaign is warning.

近日，一场英国政府发去的新运动警示不健康的中年人，如果他们想过上健康的退休生活，就必须改变他们的生活方式。

Public Health England's One You campaign is urging the over 40s to drink less, exercise more, eat better and give up smoking. It is the first national campaign to specifically target this group.

这项由英国公共卫生署发起的名为“One You”运动，正敦促那些超过40岁的人们少喝酒、多运动、改善饮食以及戒烟。这是首次特别针对这一群体而发起的全国性的运动。

Currently more than two-fifths of those aged 45 to 64 are living with an illness or disability in England.

如今，在英国45到64岁人群中，超过五分之二的人受到疾病或者残疾的困扰。

The campaign will warn those in middle-age that unless they change their ways they could die early or face a retirement blighted³ with ill-health.

这个运动将会警示那些中年人，除非他们改变自己的生活方式，否则他们很可能英年早逝或者在与疾病的折磨中度过退休生活。

While overall life expectancy⁴ has been rising in recent decades, the years people spend in good health has changed little.

尽管近几十年来人类总体寿命长度有所增加，但是人们花费在保持身体健康的时间却没有多少变化。

But research has shown that living healthy in middle age can double an individual's chances of being healthy at 70.

研究显示，在中年时期健康生活，能使人们在70岁仍保持身体健康的几率提高一倍。

To encourage people to change their ways, Public Health England, the government's advisory⁵ body, is launching an online lifestyle checker under the One You brand. It allows people to answer a series of simple questions about their lifestyle and gives them a rating out of 10.

为了鼓励人们改变他们的生活方式，英国公共卫生署在One You名下发起了在线生活方式打卡的活动。这项打卡活动让人们回答一系列关于他们生活方式的简单问题，然后以10分为满分做出评估。

It then provides them with advice about where they can get help and what they need to do to change their lifestyles. The campaign will be promoted online, on TV and through a national high street poster campaign.

之后它会为人们提供建议，告诉他们可以去哪里咨询，以及他们该做什么来改变他们的生活方式。这次运动将通过网络、电视和主要街道上的海报进行宣传推广。

England's chief medical officer Prof Dame⁶ Sally Davies urged people to use it as an opportunity to act. "We all have the power to shape our future health by making simple and small changes now."

英国的首席医疗官员萨莉·戴维斯呼吁人们利用这次运动作为一次行动的契机：“我们都有能力通过在当下做出一些小的改变来塑造未来的健康。”
