時差N小時:有錢就一定幸福嗎?

　　Does money make us happy? Well, according to thatfamous Beatles song, no: “Money Can’t Buy MeLove.” But, of course, the Beatles also had a hit withtheir cover of the Motown song “Money, That’s WhatI Want.” So, Which Is It? The answer, according topsychologists, is both: up to a certain point moneycan buy happiness, so to speak. After all, withoutenough money for food, clothes, shelter, and otherbasic necessities, it would be hard to feel very happy.But once the basics are covered, money alone doesn’tequate with happiness. Put another way, havingmore and more money doesn’t necessarily make you happier. Dozens of studies back that up.Rather, according to a lot of recent research, happiness depends not so much on exactly howmuch money you have as on how you spend it.

　　金錢使我們感到高興嗎?那么，根據(jù)著名的披頭士樂隊的歌，沒有：“錢不能買我對你的愛。”但是，當(dāng)然，披頭士樂隊還在Motown歌曲的封面上寫著，所以，“錢，這就是我想要的。”選哪個呢?答案，根據(jù)心理學(xué)家的研究，達到一定數(shù)量的錢，可以買到幸福，可以這么說。畢竟，沒有足夠的錢來買吃的，衣物，住房和其他基本必需品，就很難感到幸福了。但是，一旦基本覆蓋，單靠金錢并不等于幸福。換句話說，有越來越多的錢并不一定讓你更快樂。幾十個研究支持這個觀點。根據(jù)大量最近的研究，幸福并不取決于錢的多少，而更取決于你怎么花。
