　　【作文范文】

　　As an old saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” Why is difficult to define, or rather discover and achieve happiness? I maintain the major determinant lies in a person’s attitudes.

　　正如諺語所說：“幸福并非沒有問題，而在于解決問題的能力”。為何很難定義、發(fā)現(xiàn)和獲得幸福?我認(rèn)為最重要的因素在于人們的態(tài)度。

　　There is little correlation? between the circumstance of people’s lives and how happy they are. Instead, happiness lies in the struggle to be happy. To demonstrate, people sometimes go to extremes?, and frantically pursue money, power, high social status, and so on, which are all symbols of success—but never of happiness. Perhaps if they shifted their life’s goal from ultimate success to unswerving efforts and to a confidence that they will be successful one day they would be a great deal happier.

　　人們的生活環(huán)境和他們多么幸福之間沒什么關(guān)系。相反，幸福在于獲取幸福的奮斗之中。例如，人們有時候會走極端，瘋狂追求金錢、權(quán)利、很高的社會地位等等。這些都是成功的象征，但并非幸福的象征。也許如果他們把人生目標(biāo)從終極成功轉(zhuǎn)向未來他們必將成功的自信，他們將會更加幸福。

　　Besides defining it, how do I achieve happiness? There is little doubt that? various people have diverse ways of going about this task. As for me, the most significant secret is realizing that happiness is a by-product of something else. The most obvious sources are those pursuits that give our lives a purpose. These can be anything from playing tennis to studying insects. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are likely to experience.

　　除了定義幸福之外，我如何來獲取幸福?毫無疑問不同的人對于實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)有著迥然不同的方式。對我而言，最大的秘密就是認(rèn)識到幸福只是其他事情的一種副產(chǎn)品。最明顯的來源就是給予我們目標(biāo)的那些追求。這些追求可以使從打網(wǎng)球到研究昆蟲的任何事情。我們越有激情，我們越有可能感受到幸福。
