Feeling lonely or being alone is bigger problem than we think.
Today, many countries are facing the problem of loneliness. According to a British commission, more than nine million UK citizens feel lonely some, or even all of the time. Reports from other countries like the US and Australia suggest similar findings. Young people may experience loneliness due to the popularity of social media, while the elderly may live alone and have no one to talk to.
Loneliness can have negative effects on people's health. A study showed that feeling lonely or being alone for a long time could reduce an individual's lifespan by 15 years. To address this problem, the UK appointed the world's first Minister for Loneliness in 2018. Since then, the UK government has proposed some strategies to improve the situation. These include holding events to raise public awareness and building new transportation lines for people who are at the highest risk of isolation.

Apart from the UK, Japan also has its own Minister for Loneliness. In 2021, as the suicide rate rose because of social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan appointed a Minister for Loneliness to cope with the mental health crisis. With reports of increased loneliness around the world, the need for loneliness ministers becomes ever clearer.

現今，許多國家都面臨孤獨的問題。據一個英國委員會表示，有超過九百萬英國公民有時或甚至一直都感到寂寞。來自其他如美國和澳洲等國家的報告也顯示相似的結果。年輕人或許會因為社群媒體的普及經歷孤獨，而年長者可能獨居沒有能聊天的對象。
孤獨會對人們的健康產生負面影響。研究顯示長時間感到孤單或獨自一人會減少一個人十五年的壽命。為了解決這個問題，英國在2018 年指派了世界首位孤獨大臣。從那時起，英國政府便提出了一些策略來改善情況。其中包括舉辦活動來提高大眾意識，以及為那些最可能面臨孤立風險的人們建造新的交通路線。
除了英國之外，日本也有自己的孤獨大臣。2021 年，隨著自殺率因新冠肺炎疫情期間的社會隔離而攀升，日本指派了孤獨大臣來應對這場心理健康危機。隨著諸多報告指出世界各地的人們的孤獨感上升，對孤獨大臣的需求變得不言自明。本篇內容出自《常春藤解析/生活英語雜誌》，
