What is happiness?
什么是幸福?
Happiness is our highest well-being. It
is peace and gentleness and lightheartedness. It
is being th
ankful for all the little
special things which happen around us and to us
every day. To be happy is t
o be able to
get a perspective when things look dark and you
start to lose hope. Happiness is
look
ing for the gifts, which are always
there, even when they seem hidden.
幸福是
我们的最高福祉。
幸福是一种平和,
柔顺和无忧无虑的状态。<
/p>
幸福是对每天发生在我
们周围或者我们身上的那些小小的善行心存
感激。
幸福是在事情变得糟糕的时候,
在你将要
绝望的时候仍然能够看到希望。
幸福其实就是寻找上天赐予我们的礼物的过程,
虽然你可能
看不见这些礼物,但它们其实就在那里。

Happiness is

abstract
and
sometimes
very
specific.
Well-being

distant,
sometimes close at hand. Dedication is
the well-being, given the well-being, access
to
the
well-being
and
enjoy

人人都在渴望幸福,人人
都在感受幸福。幸福有时很抽象,有时
很具体。幸福有时很遥远,有时近在咫尺。奉献是幸
福,给予是幸福,获得是幸福,享受
是幸福……一句祝福的话语是幸福,一个理解的眼神是
幸福……幸福是心灵的感觉,幸福
是生命的体验…
Happiness lies not
in the mere possession of money it lies in the
joy of achievement , in the thrill
of
creative effort .(Franklin Roosevelt , American
president )
幸福不在于拥有金钱,而在于获得
成
就时的喜悦以及产生创造力的激情。

Many people
think that when they become rich and
successful,happiness will naturally
me
tell you that nothing is further from the world
is full of very rich people who are as
miserable as if they were living in
have read stories about movie stars who committed

not the only answer to all obtain

through dishonest means does not bring y winnings
do not bring happiness.G
amble winnings
do not bring happiness.
许多人认为当他们富有,取得成
功时,幸福自然就会随之而来。我告诉你
:
事实并非如此。

世界上有很多富人,
但是他们却很痛苦,
犹
如生活在地狱中。
我们都读过影星自杀或死于吸
毒的故事。

显而易见,
钱不是解决所有问题的答案。
通
过不正当手段获得的财富并不能带来
幸福。抽到奖券也不会带来幸福;赌博也不会带给你
幸福。
One of the most infamous
findings in happiness research is that money
doesn’t
buy a lot of
happi
ness
–
or at
least not as much as we think it should. According
to the economist Richard Easterlin,
part of the reason for this is that we care a
great deal more about what other people earn than
what we do ourselves.
幸福研究领域的最著名发现之一是,很多幸福是金钱买不来的,或者至少不像我们想象<
/p>
的那么多。经济学家理查德?伊斯特林
(Richard Eas
terlin)
表示,部分原因在于,我们对于别人
收入的关心
程度,要远远超出对我们自己收入的关心。
For
those whose most basic needs are already met,
money buys additional happiness only if it
ca
n lead to higher status in society,
which is hard when everyone else is also getting
richer over tim
e. Since
people’s
comparison group
varies from place to place, those living in more
affluent areas
of London, for example,
would probably need to earn at least ?200k a year
to ensure that they ar
e staying well
ahead of most other Londoners
–
and even that might not be
enough.
对于那些最基本需求已得
到满足的人而言,
只有当金钱可以带来更高的社会地位时,
才<
/p>
会意味着更多幸福。
要做到这一点很难,
因为其他人也逐渐变得更为富有。
不同地区的人们
的对比群组不
同,举例而言,那些生活在伦敦较富裕地区的人,每年或许得挣至少
20
万英
镑,才能确保自己的处境远远强于多数其他伦敦人——即使是这样的收入或
许都不够。
Moreover, according
to the Princeton University psychologist Daniel
Kahneman, the weak relatio
nship between
happiness and income can also be explained, in
part, by the evidence that richer
p
eople tend to spend more time engaging
in activities associated with no greater
happiness, on av
erage, but with
slightly higher tension and stress
–
such as work, childcare
and shopping. By contr
ast, people with
lower incomes tend to spend more time engaging in
happiness-rich experiences
such as
socialising with friends and other passive leisure
activities such as resting and watching

此外,普林斯顿大学
(Princeton Universi
ty)
心理学家丹尼尔?卡纳曼
(Daniel Kahnem
an)
表示,
之所以说幸福与收入的关系较为松散,
一定程度上是因为有证据表明,
一般而言,
更富有
的
人往往用更多时间从事不会带来更大幸福感的活动,
这些活动
的紧张及压力程度略高——例
如工作、育儿和购物。相比之下,收入较低的人往往把更多
时间花在幸福感十足的事情上,
例如与朋友社交,以及休息和看电视等其它被动的娱乐活
动。
As we all know, love is
the crux of a happy life. Love helps us stay calm
and serene even when thi
ngs are tough.
It can carry us through the hard times. Love looks
for ways to be of service. Love is
enjoying the surprises of life and
being totally delighted with what life gives you.
Love is the key t
o happiness and it is
a real blessing to others.
众所周知,爱是幸福生活的关键所在。爱帮助我们在时事艰难的时候保持沉着,平静的心
态。它能帮我们度过苦难的时光。爱会自己寻找助人的途径。爱是享受生命中的诸多惊喜,
爱是完全满足于生活的给予。爱是幸福生活的钥匙,爱是对他人真挚的祝福。
