[图片] 01The Different Levelsof Happiness 不同层次的快乐 有人把幸福分为三个层次:感官快乐(sensory happiness)、情绪快乐(emotional happiness)和精神快乐(spiritual happiness)。 (1)感官快乐(sensoryhappiness) Sensory happiness, comes from physical pleasures(身体上的快乐)and material gains(和物质上的获得). It's the joy you feel when you eat your favorite food(吃你最喜欢的食物), buy a new gadget(买一个小物件), or enjoy a beautiful sunset(看一场漂亮的日落). [图片] 这些经历是直接的(immediate),并且是有形的(tangible),但往往也是易逝的(fleeting)。 (2)情绪快乐(emotionalhappiness) 情绪上的快乐(emotional happiness)要更加地深刻和持久(deeper and longer-lasting)。它来自关系以及个人的成就(relationships and personal achievements)。 [图片] (3)精神快乐(spiritualhappiness) 精神上的快乐是来自inner peace(内心的平和)还有 self-fulfillment(自我满足)。 02 Why We Are Prone to Unhappiness? 为什么我们容易不开心? In today’s digital age(数字时代), finding true happiness can be challenging(找到真正的快乐是有挑战的). Modern life, influenced by social media and consumerism, often emphasizes material wealth and status(通常强调物质财富和地位). material /məˈtɪriəl/ adj. 物质的;非精神上的 现在的短视频平台无疑会amplify(放大)这种comparison(对比)还有 envy(羡慕嫉妒)的心态。 [图片] 心理学上有个词叫“相对剥夺感”(Relative Deprivation),这感觉就像是我们觉得我们有权享有,但并不拥有。 deprivation /ˌdeprəˈveɪʃən/ n. 匮乏;剥夺 这种落差可能让他产生嫉妒(envy)甚至是愤恨。它有些侵蚀了一个人的理性(reason)以及对自我的认知(self-cognition)了。 [图片] 不仅是视频的受众,创作者也要警惕优越感(superiority)带给你的“快乐陷阱”。由优越感带来的“快乐”一定是短暂的(fleeting)、不可持续(unsustainable)、并且是不健康的(unhealthy)。 True happiness is simple (真正的快乐是简单的). 它可以来自self-satisfaction (自我满足)、家庭、人际关系和自然。我们需要意识到,the joy from materialism is temporary (来自物质主义的快乐是短暂的)。 [图片] 03 How to Achieve True Happiness? 怎样获得真正的快乐? Harvard University suggestedsomehabits that can help us achieve true joy. 哈佛大学给出了一些可以帮助我们获得真正快乐的习惯。 (1)Be grateful(心存感激) Practicing gratitude(练习感恩)shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have(把我们的注意力从我们缺乏的东西转移到我们拥有的东西上), fostering contentment(培养满足感). contentment n. 满足;满意 [图片] Some people keepa gratitude journal(有些人写感恩日记), and it is amazing how much it helps them appreciate the little things in life(帮助他们感激生活中的小事). (2) Choosefriends wisely(谨慎择友) Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who uplift you (与积极向上的、支持你、让你振作起来的人为伍). Always distance yourself from (一定要远离) people who bring you down(让你沮丧的人), or negatively impact your habits and goals(对你的习惯或目标产生负面影响的人). (3)Livein the present(活在当下) Focusing on the here and now (关注当下和现在) helps reduce anxietyabout the past and future(会减少对过去和未来的焦虑). (4)Don’t forget the importance of forgiveness(谨记宽恕) Letting go of grudges (放下怨恨) frees us from negative emotions that hinder our happiness(让我们从阻碍我们快乐的负面情绪中解放出来). [图片] In fact, sometimes it's really hard to forgive someone(有时很难原谅一个人), especially when they've done something that'sunacceptable to you (尤其是当他们做了一些你无法接受的事情) and there's no way you can ignore the pain it causes(无法忽视它所带来的痛苦). So forgive, but don’t forget (宽恕,但不要遗忘). Let go of being angry at them (不对他们愤怒), but don’t forget what they have done (但也不要忘记他们的所作所为). 其实,这个时候选择宽恕并不是赦免对方的罪恶,实际上是放自己一条生路——一条免于被仇恨侵蚀的生路。 [图片] 这绝对不是historical nihilism (历史虚无主义),我们不能忘记过去。That's true of individuals (个人如此), and of nations (国家亦是如此). 04 中国传统文化中获取快乐的方式 In Chinese culture, wisdomis offeredon finding joy(中华文化蕴含着寻找快乐的智慧). 孔子的弟子颜回“一箪食,一瓢饮,居陋巷,人不堪其忧,回也不改其乐。” 这就是一种简单的快乐,与物质无关。 [图片] Confucius’ disciple Yan Hui found happiness in simplicity and contentment(颜回在简单和满足中找到快乐), despite his modest living conditions(尽管他的生活条件简朴). 老子在《道德经》中强调了与自然和谐相处的简单快乐。These teachings (教诲) show that true happiness doesn't rely on external conditions (真正的幸福并不依赖于外部条件) but comes from inner development (而是来自于内在的发展), wisdom, and spiritual growth (智慧和精神的成长). [图片] 05 西方文化中的快乐是什么样的呢? 西方文化中的快乐,与爱(love)、助人(helping others)以及分享(sharing)有关。 [图片] In both Eastern and Western traditions(在东、西方传统里), the essence of happiness (幸福的本质) lies inconnecting with others(与他人产生联系), being grateful(心存感激), and finding peace within ourselves(在自己内心找到和平). lie in在于 请留言告诉我们: 你是怎么获得快乐的呢?
