Our Pursuit of Happiness(上)

We chase after it, when it is waiting all about us

我们四处追逐幸福，而幸福其实就在我们身边。

“Are you happy?” I asked my brother, Lan, one day. “Yes. No. It depends what you mean,” he said.

“Then tell me,” I said, “when was the last time you think you were happy?”

“April 1967,” he said.

一天，我问哥哥伊恩：“你感到幸福吗?”他回答说：“可以说幸福，也可以说不幸福，这要看你指什么了。”

“那你告诉我，”我说，“**近一次你感到幸福是什么时候?”

“1967年4月，”他答道。

It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life. But Lan’s answer reminded me that when we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a pinnacle of sheer delight---and those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.

我真不该对一个游戏生活的人提出这么严肃的问题，但伊恩的回答却给了我一个启示：我们想到的幸福时刻通常是一些非同寻常的事，一种纯粹的快乐———但是随着年龄的增长，这种快乐好像越来越少了。

For a child, happiness has a magical quality. I remember making hide-outs in newly cut hay, playing cops and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course, kids also experience lows, but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.

对一个孩子来说，幸福有着梦幻般的色彩。记得我曾在新鲜的干草丛中捉迷藏;在树林里玩“警察与小偷”;在学校的戏剧里扮演有台词的角色。当然，孩子也有情绪低落的时候;但是，因为赢得一场比赛，或得了一辆新车，他们会毫不掩饰地快乐到极点。

In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement, love, popularity and whether that zit will clear up before prom night. I can still feel the agony of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. But I also recall the ecstasy of being plucked from obscurity at another event to dance with a John Travolta look-alike.

到了青少年时期，幸福观逐渐转变。突然间，幸福就建立在激动、爱情、名气甚至是脸上的青春痘能否在晚会前消失这样的事上。我清楚地记得，大家都去参加一个舞会，而我末被邀请时的痛苦。但也记得，在另—次活动中，我意外地与—个貌似约翰·特拉沃尔塔的人共舞时的兴奋。

In adulthood the things that bring profound joy---birth, love, marriage---also bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Love may not last, * isn’t always good, loved ones die. For adults, happiness is complicated.

成年后，心灵深处**令人喜悦的是爱情和生育，走进婚姻的同时也意味着责任和安逸。爱情可能会消逝，性爱也不总是如意，心爱的人可能会死去。对于成人来说，幸福很复杂。

My dictionary defines happy as “lucky” or “fortunate”, but I think a better definition of happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”. The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.

字典里幸福的定义是“幸运”或“好运”，但我认为幸福更好的定义是“感受快乐的能力”。更多地享受我们拥有的一切，我们就能更多地享受幸福。但是，爱与被爱，友人相伴，简单的生活，甚至健康的体魄，这些细碎的快乐却很容易被我们忽视。
