壹苹派生活美语　姿势正确，未来没烦恼～（二）

　　The way a person sits in a chair is important. This is especially true for people like students and office workers who sit for long hours. Harvard University and other institutes have carried out research on the effects of poor posture. These effects are not just limited to back and neck pain. Poor posture puts extra stress on muscles and joints. This leads to fatigue, chronic pain, and even damage to small muscles in the arms, hands, and legs. This can result in injuries or medical disorders.

　　一个人如何坐在椅子上很重要。对于长时间坐著的学生和上班族等人来说尤其重要。哈佛大学和其他机构对不良姿势的影响进行了研究。这些影响不仅限于背部和颈部疼痛。不良姿势会对肌肉和关节造成额外的压力。这会导致疲劳、慢性疼痛，甚至手臂、手和腿的小肌肉受损。这可能会导致受伤或疾病。
