In 1976, a man named Stamatis Moraitis was in his mid-60s, diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.

1976 年，一位名叫斯塔馬蒂斯-莫賴蒂斯的 60 多歲男子被診斷為肺癌晚期。

過去簡單式

After being told he only had six months left to live, he decided to move back to his hometown in Greece.

在被告知只剩下六個月的生命後，他決定搬回希臘的家鄉。

He surrounded himself by his old community, ate local produce, and even had a glass of wine here and there to enjoy his final days.

他周圍都是他的老社區，吃的都是當地特產，甚至還時不時地喝點酒，享受最後的時光。

But as the years passed, doctors were baffled as he kept living.

但隨著時間的流逝，醫生們對他一直活著感到困惑。

And he went on to live another 40 years until the age of 100.

Well, strangely enough, there are in fact five small towns around the world where this has been happening at an abnormally higher rate than anywhere else.

奇怪的是，事實上，世界上有五個小鎮發生這種情況的比例比其他任何地方都要高。

Scientists have termed them blue zones and have spent decades trying to understand what they do differently to achieve longer lifespans.

科學家們把它們稱為 "藍區"，並花了幾十年的時間試圖瞭解它們是通過什麼不同的方式來延長壽命的。

One of them is in Greece, Stamatis' hometown.

其中一個在希臘，也就是斯塔馬蒂斯的家鄉。

One is in Japan, one in Costa Rica, and one in California.

一個在日本，一個在哥斯達黎加，一個在加利福尼亞。

But the original blue zone, and the one with the most records, is the one we will be visiting today.

但我們今天要參觀的是最初的藍色區域，也是記錄最多的區域。

Off the coast of Italy, tucked away high in the mountains of the island of Sardinia, lies a hidden village called Seulo, where this year alone, out of the 800 residents, six of them turned 100.

在意大利海岸外的撒丁島高山上，有一個名叫 Seulo 的隱祕村莊，僅今年一年，800 名居民中就有 6 人年滿 100 歲。

So today, we're heading to Seulo to try and discover for ourselves what this town's secret is to an extended life.

是以，今天我們將前往 Seulo，親自探尋這個小鎮的長壽祕訣。

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we are smack in the middle of the island of Sardinia.

好了，女士們先生們，我們現在正身處撒丁島中部。

We're going to meet people who were in their late 20s when World War II broke out.

我們將見到第二次世界大戰爆發時年僅 20 多歲的人們。

Tommy will be joining me on this trip, as well as our cinematographer, Fen Corey, who has joined me on several big trips in the past.

湯米將和我一起參加這次旅行，還有我們的攝影師 Fen Corey，他過去曾和我一起參加過幾次大型旅行。

We stayed in a hotel two hours away from the town last night, and even the people working in the hotel didn't speak a word of English.

我們昨晚住在離小鎮兩小時車程的一家酒店裡，連酒店裡的工作人員都不會說一句英語。

So, I don't know how we didn't really think about the whole language barrier here.

所以，我不知道我們怎麼就沒有考慮到語言障礙的問題。

It's okay, because Corey speaks fluent Italian.

沒關係，因為科裡能說一口流利的意大利語。

Half the road has crumbled into the valley.

How many kilometers is this road still like this?

He didn't even know how to say hello in English.

他甚至不知道如何用英語打招呼。

And after driving a few hours, we finally saw it.

驅車幾個小時後，我們終於看到了它。

This is the town where people live the longest on the planet.

這裡是地球上人們居住時間最長的城市。

We're going to get some food, try to make some friends at the cafe, get social.

我們要去吃點東西，試著在咖啡館交些朋友，社交一下。

Somehow, against most major health recommendations and common sense, the locals in this town actually drink their locally made natural wine into old age.

不知為何，與大多數主要的健康建議和常識背道而馳的是，這個小鎮上的當地人居然把當地釀造的天然葡萄酒喝到老。

I thought we were supposed to get a small glass.

Cheers to the beginning of our Blue Zone adventure.

We shall drink and eat what the centurions drink and eat and hopefully gain a few years.

我們將和百夫長們一樣大吃大喝，希望能多活幾年。

This is the best prosciutto I've ever had in my life, by far.

這是我這輩子吃過的最好吃的意大利薰火腿。

我們都把她當成了自己的在地媽媽。

I don't think Corey's ever coming back with us.

我覺得科裡不會跟我們回去了。

As we distracted the chef and delayed the people in the background from getting their food, we continued our quest to explore the village in the search for its secrets.

我們分散了廚師的注意力，也耽誤了後面的人拿食物的時間，我們繼續探索這個村莊，尋找它的祕密。

We just walked by this random door and like he said, people leave their keys in the door just so that if you need something, you can just walk into the people's house.

我們隨便走過一扇門，就像他說的，人們把鑰匙放在門裡，這樣如果你需要什麼東西，就可以直接走進人家的房子。

You just walk in and be like, time for a little nap.

你只要走進去，就會想，該小睡一會兒了。

The locals here also apparently maintain a habit of two to three espressos a day.

這裡的當地人顯然還保持著每天兩到三杯濃咖啡的習慣。

And although we usually try to avoid alcohol when we're out on adventures, the locals seem to have other plans.

雖然我們外出探險時通常會盡量避免飲酒，但當地人似乎另有打算。

In cryptic French, we found out that the village was having some form of celebration tonight, serendipitously on our first night in town.

我們用含糊不清的法語得知，村裡今晚要舉行某種形式的慶祝活動，而這恰好是我們來到鎮上的第一晚。

This guy insisted that we come to his house, but doesn't speak a lick of English.

這傢伙堅持要我們去他家，但他一點英語都不會說。

We think he likes us, but we're not entirely sure.

我們覺得他喜歡我們，但也不完全確定。

So many pictures of people that live over a hundred.
