Men who bottle uptheir anger at being unfairly treated at work are up to five times more likely to suffer a heart attack, or even die from one, than those who let their frustration show, a Swedish study has found.

瑞典一项研究发现，在工作中受到不公正待遇时忍气吞声的男性职员患心脏病或死于该疾病的几率比公开表达不满的人高五倍。

The study by the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University followed 2,755 employed men who had not suffered any heart attacks from 1992 to 2003.

斯德哥尔摩大学压力研究所开展的此项研究对2755名男性职员进行了跟踪调查。这些职员在1992年至2003年间无心脏病史。

At the end of the study, 47 participants had either suffered an attack, or died from heart disease, and many of those had been found to be "covertlycoping" with unfair treatment at work.

但在研究结束时，有47名受访者患上心脏病或死于该疾病。其中很多人在工作中受到不公正待遇时“忍气吞声”。
