A: 健康總是福啊,你說呢?
A: Good health is always the harbinger of happiness; don't you think?
B: 是的,如果沒了健康,我想人們很難快樂起來。
B:Well, I doubt that anyone could be too happy if they're in poor health.
A: 你不覺得他們總是相輔相成的嗎?
A: But, don't you believe they always go together?
A: 哦,那可不一定。幸福除了健康還包含很多其他東西。當然了,健康的確有助于人們感到幸福。
B: Oh, no. Happiness entails a lot of other things besides being healthy. Being healthy certainly helps.
A: 對,沒錯。我仔細想來,還真覺得你說的有道理。不,應該是越想越覺得你是對的。
A: Yeah. When I think about it, I suppose you are right. No! The more I think about it, you definitely are right.
B: 我認為人與人之間的各種關系是獲得真正幸福的關鍵。不過,遺憾的是,它同樣也是不幸的根源。
B: I think relationships are the key to real happiness. Unfortunately, they can also be the cause of a lot of unhappiness as well.
A: 有很多事情都能使人們不快樂,但是我更愿意積極地看待生活,說一些開心的事情。
A: There are a lot of things that can make people unhappy but, I'd rather look on the positive side of life and talk about happiness.
B: 那么,你認為什么能使人們幸福快樂呢?
B: So, what do you think makes people happy?
A: 很多事情都能使人們幸福,但是也因人而異。
A: There are a stack of things that make people happy but, it all depends on the individual.
B: 是的,戀愛會使很多人幸福,有很多錢也是確實能使人幸福的。
B: Well, being in love would make a lot of people happy. And, having a lot of money would be a certainty.
A: 這兩者可能會使人幸福,但也不一定總會讓人開心。
A: Those two things could make people happy but, it may not always happen.
B: 他們顯然會讓我開心的。
B: They'd sure make me happy.
A: 但條件是你得有健康,戀愛還得是彼此相愛,錢來的要正當。
A: Provided you were healthy, provided your love was mutual and, provided you came by your money honestly.
B: 你瞧,現(xiàn)在誰變得消極了?我還以為我們都是積極看待生活的人呢。
B: Now who's being negative? I thought we were going to look at the positive side of things?
A: 好,同意。但是,有很多其他的事情跟幸福有關。例如,工作上的成就感,迫球自己的目標,受人尊敬和美滿的家庭。
A: OK. Point taken. But there are so many other things that are involved with happiness. things like, job satisfaction, achieving your goals, respect and family relationships.
B: 是的。這些的確很重要,其中任何一項都會對一個人的生活產(chǎn)生重大影響。
B: Yes. That's right. Those things do matter and every one of them can have a tremendous influence on a person's life.
A: 還有,你不是非得有錢才能幸福啊。
A: And, you don't have to have money to find happiness.
B: 但我認為你得有足夠養(yǎng)家糊口的錢吧。如果沒有這最基本的經(jīng)濟保障,生活會覺得很艱苦。
B: I think you need enough to live on and to be avle to look after your family. If you don't at least, have that, life would be hard.
A: 以前我們有的那種簡單的快樂,在現(xiàn)代社會已無從找到了。即使我們天天被快樂圍繞,但也因為太忙而無暇顧及。
A: Modern society has lost a lot of the enjoyment we used to find in the simple pleasures of nature. We are surrounded by them every day but, people are too busy to see them.
B: 這雖有些遺憾但卻是事實。就像人們常說的,“情人眼里出西施”,我想,幸??鞓芬彩且粯印T谟诿總€人內(nèi)心的感受。
B: Unfortunate, but true. As they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and, I guess, that is just as ture for happiness.
