We all know that money can't buy happiness - but many times we act as if we'd be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich aren't happy either); we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn more money because then we'll have the good life.

我們都知道金錢買不來幸福 - 但很多時候，錢多一點，我們也會顯得更高興。我們總想有錢（盡管我們知道富人也并非總是幸福）；我們總要得到電視介紹給我們的最新玩意或樣式；我們要賺更多的錢，因為有錢我們才能享受美好生活。

But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how much we have in the bank, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this.

但那些東西都不能給我們帶來幸福。不管我們賺多少錢，無論我們在銀行存有多少錢，無論我們的衣著，轎車或玩具有多么漂亮，都不會使我們更幸福。而可悲的是，它可以讓我們數(shù)十年如一日不斷追求財富和奢侈品，直到現(xiàn)在才明白這一點。

So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, it's three things that don't cost a thing. These three things have been prove by research - surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.

那么什么才能帶給我們幸福呢？謝天謝地，有三樣?xùn)|西，不花分文就可得到。通過對數(shù)十萬人進行的研究-調(diào)查，這三樣?xùn)|西的價值已經(jīng)得以證明，調(diào)查的問題是他們的經(jīng)濟現(xiàn)狀，他們的生活情況，以及他們的幸福程度。
