What is happiness? 什么是幸福?

Happiness is our highest well-being. It is peace and gentleness and lightheartedness. Itis being thankful for all the little special things which happen around usand to us everyday. To be happy is to be able to get a perspect ive when things look dark and you start to lose hope. Happiness is looking fo rthe 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。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。

Everybody is eager to happiness, feelings ofwell-being of everyone. Happiness is sometimes abstract and sometimes very specific. Well-being sometimes distant, sometimes close at hand. Dedication is thewell-being, given the well-being, access to the well-being and enjoythe blessings of happiness ... ...of the words is a well-being, an understanding ofthe expressionis the well-being of thesoul ... ... is the feelingof happiness, happiness is a life experience ... ... 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 liesin the joy of achievement , inthe thrill of creative effort .(Franklin Roosevelt , Ameri canpresident ) 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。(美国总统罗斯福.)!

Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happiness wi ll naturallyfollow.Let metell you that nothing is further from the truth.The world is full of very rich people who are as miserable as if they were living in hell.We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or die d from drugs.Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.Wealth obtained through dishonest meansdoes not bring happiness.Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.Gamble 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 themostinfamous findings in happinessresearch is that moneydoesn’tbuy a lot of happiness – or at least not asmuch as we think it should. Accordingto 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的那么多。经济学家理查德•伊斯特林(Richard Easterlin)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。

Since people’s comparison groupvaries from place to place, those livingin more affluent areas of London, for example, would probably need to earn at least £200k a year to ensure that they a re staying well ahead of most other Londoners–and even that migh t 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 thePrinceton University psychologist Daniel Ka hneman, the weak relationship between happiness and income ca n also be explained, in part, by the evidence that richer people tend to spend more timeengaging in activities associated with no greater happiness, on av erage, but with slightly higher tension and stress – such as work, childcare and sh
