But Danny, the whole American endeavor is about life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.
可是丹尼，生命、自由和追求快樂是所有美國人奮斗的目標。
If people took seriously that finding,
假若大家都認真對待這一發現，
I mean, it seems to turn upside down everything we believe about, like for example, taxation policy and so forth.
那么，這將顛覆我們固有的觀念，例如，課稅政策等。
Is there any chance that politicians, that the country generally,
這個國家的政治人物有沒有可能
would take a finding like that seriously and run public policy based on it?
會正視這樣的發現并且依次施政？
You know I think that there is recognition of the role of happiness research in public policy.
我認為已有人認知到研究快樂于謀劃政策中的地位。
The recognition is going to be slow in the United States, no question about that,
但這項認知于美國的傳播速度頗慢，這是毋庸置疑的，
but in the U.K., it is happening, and in other countries it is happening.
但在英國，它正持續發酵，其他國家亦然。
People are recognizing that they ought to be thinking of happiness when they think of public policy.
一般人也開始認知到，在謀劃政策時亦應將快樂納入考量指標。
It's going to take a while, and people are going to debate
雖然這將花些時間，但人們也將開始思考。
whether they want to study experience happiness, or whether they want to study life evaluation,
他們要的是經驗的快樂，抑或是為生活打分，
so we need to have that debate fairly soon.
因此很快，我們將要理解這個問題。
How to enhance happiness goes very different ways depending on how you think,
如何增進快樂有好幾種方式，但事關你是怎么想的，
and whether you think of the remembering self or you think of the experiencing self.
你想的是記憶自我還是在想經驗自我。
This is going to influence policy, I think, in years to come.
我想于幾年之內，這將影響政策的實施。
In the United States, efforts are being made to measure the experience happiness of the population.
美國已經付出巨大的努力來衡量大眾的經驗的快樂。
This is going to be, I think, within the next decade or two, part of national statistics.
我想在十年或二十年內，這將會成為國家統計數據的一部分。
Well, it seems to me that this issue will -- or at least should be --
這個議題對于我來說
the most interesting policy discussion to track over the next few years.
將會是未來幾年里最有的一個政策討論議題。
