1.Money and Happiness
Philosophers rarely necessary because of the money because they believe that money can bring happiness is very limited. As Epicurus said: more money will not be more than happy to make money has been achieved limited level. Whether this understanding, it is because they have another way to enjoy a happy, have a mind. It is the joy and spirit of comparison, the material can bring the joy of showing its limited only to the spirit of happiness can be unlimited. Therefore, the sage is a common feature: on the one hand, as happy to see the limited material, the material will be able to at least enable them to meet; On the other hand, because the spirit of boundless desire to be happy, no amount of material does not allow them to meet
(金钱和快乐
哲学家很少的钱,因为他们相信金钱可以带来幸福是很有限的。像伊壁鸠鲁说:更多的钱不会很乐意让钱已经取得了有限的水平。这是否理解,这是因为他们有另一种方式去享受幸福,有一个想法。它的欢乐和精神的比较,可以带来欢乐的材料只显示出它的精神可以无限快乐。因此,圣人是一种常见的特征:一方面,高兴地看到这个有限的资料,资料能够使他们能够满足最少;另一方面,因为圣灵的无限的快乐,再多的资料不允许他们见面)
2.Everyone needs a few luxuries to be happy.
A six-figure income affords a family many pleasures-- a more luxurious home, perhaps a trip to Disneyland or a fancier car. But do such things make you happier?
Pleasure is not the same as happiness. Pleasure is a temporary release.
Happiness comes from experiences in which one's mental and emotional energies are invested.
Just as happy families value pleasures that involve personal effort, so they value possessions that have personal meaning, like Grandma's wedding ring. Unhappy people,however, are more likely to prize possessions because of their cost or utility, a car that handles well or an expensive necklace.
Happiness is a permanent vacation.Would you quit your job if you didn' t need the money?Many Americans said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.
A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth.
(每个人都需要一些奢侈品要快乐。
6位数的收入提供一个家庭的许多乐趣——一个更豪华的家园,或者一个去迪斯尼乐园的旅行或一个更漂亮的车。但做这样的事情会让你感到开心吗?
快乐是不一样的幸福。快乐是一种暂时释放。
幸福来自经验的精神和情感能量的投资。
正如幸福的家庭价值的享乐,涉及个人的努力,所以他们价值的财产,如有个人的意义,奶奶的结婚戒指。然而,不幸的人更容易珍藏,因为他们的费用或工具,处理好一辆昂贵的项链或。
幸福是一种永久性的假期。
你会辞职,如果你根本不需要钱吗许多美国人说戒烟的工作是一项重要的原因是丰富的。不过,调查人员发现,工作是生活中的主要满足感的人。
一份工作,研究表明,不仅仅是一种薪水。做些好能增加信心与自我价值感。)
3.A big raise would make you happy.
If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert. Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding, no matter how lucrative it becomes.
(一个大的提高会让你快乐。
如果工作是非常重要的,不会是一个表的薪水大小的工作满意吗?美国人是这样认为的。一项调查显示,70%的受访者表示他们会更快乐,如果他们的家人有两倍的家庭收入。但研究表明工作满足感少挣多少人从他们的工作和挑战的控制,他们都能发挥作用。工作,引不起的人永远不会似乎是有益的,无论多么有利揭下了。它变小了。)
4. Nothing comforts like cash.
In times of crisis--a debilitating illness or loss of one's home--money can come in pretty handy. But for all its benefits, it cannot fortify you against the inevitable pain and sadness that follow the crisis. For that, researchers say, you need close friendships. "Human beings are hard-wired to be social animals". "They're not built to handle things alone."
(没有感到安慰的现金。
在危机时刻——一种破坏性疾病或丧失家园——钱可以很方便。但是它的好处,它不能提高你对不可避免的痛苦和悲伤,遵循的危机。那,研究人员说,你需要密切友谊。“人类天生是群居动物。”“他们不是建成单枪匹马。”)
5.Happiness and wealth aren't mutually exclusive.
It's possible to have both--or neither. But most believe that those who have happiness, in the long run, have more.Even author Oscar Wilde agreed: "Ordinary riches can be stolen from a man. Real riches cannot. In the treasury house of your soul, there are infinitely precious things that may not
be taken from you."
(幸福与财富不是相互排斥。
它可能有——或者不。但是大多数人相信,那些拥有幸福,从长远来看,有更多即使作家王尔德同意:“普通财富可以偷来的人。真正的财富不能。在财政部你灵魂的房子,有无限珍贵的东西,也许不是从你。”)
6.Somebody says, money is everything and money can make him happy. I don not agree to such a view.
I think money is something important, because we must buy things for our daily living with money. However, money sometimes cannot bring happiness to us. Because of money, perhaps one will do some ill things, such as gambling，taking drugs, go for wench and so on. As a result, his money runs out at last, he becomes poorer and poorer and has to live a misery life. On the contrary, I believe that happiness can encourage one to make money. This is because one is always in high spirits, he would like to do everything helpful. While doing so, he earns a lot for living.
Keep in mind that money is important, but money is only a part in our life. We should try to make money, yet we should treasure our happiness.
