幸福魔方：关于快乐的几条法则（英汉对照）

So let’s talk about happiness, or rather how we can go toward that goal. I think we can all agree that to be happy we should live a positive life. That makes sense. So, how then, can we make sure that we live positively? One way is to surround ourselves with positive things and positive experiences. Read good books, see good movies, have beautiful artwork hanging on our walls. We should eat delicious food, buy ourselves fresh flowers to greet us when we get home and attend all kinds of concerts frequently. . . .

让我们来谈谈幸福吧。到底怎样才算幸福呢？相信很多人都会赞成要想幸福，就得积极乐观地面对生活。话虽如此，那到底怎样才算是乐活呢？或许，我们可以多去接触美好事物，比如，读本好书，看场精彩的电影，或者用不凡的艺术品装饰我们的家居；再比如，我们也可以享用美味大餐，买束鲜花美美地放在家里，抑或多赴几场音乐会

It is important to remember why we are living on this earth. What are our priorities: our family and friends or getting that extra bonus by working 100 hours a week? Which really and truly makes us happier? We only have one life, so let’s treat ourselves well, with massages and bubble baths. Never pass a playground without stopping to swing. Throw away our watches and maybe even try living without a planner for a day.
