金钱无法买到爱，但可以买到快乐：研究发现花钱可以带来频繁且强烈的快感



You may not be able to buy love, butscience says you can buy happiness.

你可能无法买到爱，但是科学认为你可以买到快乐。

A new study suggests purchasing materialgoods gives us more frequent joy over the course of weeks and months, comparedto the happiness we get from an experience.

一项新研究表明比起我们从经历中所获得的快乐，购物可以给我们带来更加频繁的快乐。

Researchers say experiences provide intensefeelings that will eventually fade, but material things remind a person aboutthe happiness they felt when they first received it.

研究者称经历所提供的快乐感觉最终会褪去，但是物质可以随时提醒某人在第一次获得该物时候所感觉到的快乐。

Chyeah, I'll bet. That's why some peoplesay life starts at 40. By then, you'll have plenty of experience and mostlikely a stable job. My mom says she is happiest at her age of 48. Most of usjust live to work.

所以某些人才说一个人的生活始于40岁，那时你积累了很多人生经验，而且最有可能拥有了一份稳定的工作。我妈妈说她最开心的时候是在48岁。大部分人活着就是为了工作。

No matter what you have, it's prettymiserable if it's just you on your lonesome to enjoy it.

不论你拥有什么，如果没人和你一起分享你所拥有的东西，那也是很悲惨的。

我不认为金钱可以买到快乐。不过金钱确实可以帮助你更加舒服的度过悲惨。

When I think about what it would be like towin the lottery. Its not the material things I could buy that I think about.Its the instant feeling of freedom you would get from suddenly leaving behindthe financial related things that most people worry about, and knowing you andyour family were set for life. Im sure being able to clear all that from yourdaily thoughts would make you a happier person.

当我思考这个问题的时候，我其实想到的是中彩票大奖。我想到并不是我所购买的物质产品。突然之间你摆脱了大多数人都在忍受的生活琐事，然后你知道你和你的家人再也不用愁吃穿了，是这种突然自由的感觉让你感到快乐。所以如果你每天都不用考虑这些琐事的话，那你确实会变成更加快乐的人。

Yes, ditching that 9 to 5 and the tediousroutine that goes with it. No rush hours to bear. Just doing what you pleaseevery day. Not clock watching nor spending weekends preparing for the weekahead. The freedom just to be. I dare to dream for a moment.

是吖，不用朝九晚五的去做千篇一律的工作。不用在上下班高峰期期间外出。每天就做你想做的事情。不用时时看手表，也不用在周末准备未来一周的事情。完全是自由的。我也只敢想想而已。

Exactly. It's the not having to worry aboutmaking the next lot of direct debits etc. I get a salary and that covers ourmain bills with just a bit spare. My husband is self employed and his incomecan really vary so that adds to the worry. Winning the lottery would be amazing- I just need to start actually playing it!

是的。快乐的生活就是不用担心生活中的各种开销。我的工资在支付了主要的开销后只剩一点点。我的丈夫自己创业，所以收入很不稳定，所以也是我们担忧的一个因素。如果能中彩票那就好了——看来我要学着怎么买彩票了！

People never finish the quote - Money doesnot buy happiness, but lack of money guarantees misery.

人们总是引用这句话——金钱无法买来快乐，但是没钱绝对是悲惨的。

Technically it can not buy love but trygoing on dates without it.You might get away with the odd date that is free butif you continue, any potential love interest will probably dump you, thinkingyou are a right tight wad.I know not everyone is impressed or motivated bymoney but sometimes you need to push the boat out,specially if you find thatspecial someone.

理论上来说金钱无法买到爱，但是约会的时候不带钱你试试看。刚开始时你可能不用花多少钱，但是如果你继续和某人约会的话，如果你不花钱，任何潜在的爱慕对象都可能抛弃你，认为你是小气鬼。我知道并非所有人都受钱财驱使，但是有时候你还真得花点钱，特别是如果对方是你喜欢的类型的话。

Having money doesn't MAKE you happy ....But NOT having it can be pretty miserable!!

有钱不能让你变得开心，但是没钱的生活也是相当悲惨的。

是的，金钱确实可以买到幸福。如果不用担心钱的问题的话，你确实更加容易爱上某人。

I got tired of 'expensive gifts' from myfamily years ago. What's the point if they treat and talk to you like crap therest of the time??

几年前我厌烦了家人给我买“昂贵礼物”。如果他们对你的态度不好的话，那昂贵礼物有什么用。

Money doesn't buy you happiness. But itbuys you freedom. Which in some cases equals happiness.

金钱无法买到幸福。但是可以买到自由。而在某些情况下，自由就相当于快乐。

Of course it can buy love. It won't begenuine though. Why do you think older millionaires are able to have youngtrophy wives?

当然可以买到爱。只不过不是真爱。要不然你以为为什么那些上了年纪的百万富翁可以拥有年轻貌美的妻子？
