世界上最幸福國家在哪里.

　　我們都夢想著幸福長壽的生活——比起當下有著更溫暖舒適的氣候。但世界上最幸福的地方在哪里呢?　在全球環(huán)境限制下，151國新地圖出爐，揭密世界上哪個地區(qū)的居民最幸福長壽。請看下面的雙語新聞。

　　And the results may surprise you, with Costa Rica, Colombia and Vietnam topping the league. The UK features at position 44 - higher than Germany (47), Spain (62), Canada (65), Australia (76) and the US (105).

　　結論可能會讓你大吃一驚，哥斯達黎加、哥倫比亞和越南名列前三。英國排名第44，比排名第47的德國、排名第62的西班牙、排名第65的加拿大、排名第76的澳大利亞和排名105的美國都要靠前。

　　The map was compiled by the relocation website Movehub, using data from the latest Happy Planet Index (HPI) - a global measure of sustainable wellbeing.

　　搬家網(wǎng)站Movehub收集最新的幸福星球指數(shù)(Happy Planet Index，HPI)——一項全球的可持續(xù)幸福標準，編寫發(fā)布了該地圖。

　　The HPI claims it &aposmeasures what matters&apos, rather than wealth: the extent to which countries deliver long, happy, sustainable lives for the people that live in them.

　　幸福星球指數(shù)注重的是一定程度上哪個國家能為其居民提供幸福長壽的生活，而不是哪個國家最為富有。

　　Each of the three component measures – life expectancy, the level of well-being experienced and ecological footprint – is given a traffic-light score based on thresholds for good (green), middling (amber) and bad (red) performance.

　　三個構成部分——預期壽命，幸福體驗值和生態(tài)足跡，決定了紅綠燈式的分數(shù)臨界值，數(shù)據(jù)顯示好的為綠色，中等的為琥珀色，差的為紅色。

　　These scores are combined to an expanded six-colour traffic light for the overall HPI score, where, to achieve bright green – the best of the six colours, a country would have to perform well on all three individual components.

　　這些分數(shù)將整體的幸福星球指數(shù)由三色擴大到六色交通燈。為了達到六色中最亮的綠色，一個國家必須在所有的三個構成部分都表現(xiàn)上佳。

　　In order to compile the data, researchers directly asked people in each country for their views.

　　為了編寫數(shù)據(jù)，研究人員直接采訪了每個國家的居民以獲取意見。

　　Experienced well-being: This was assessed using a question called the ‘Ladder of Life’ from the Gallup World Poll. This asks respondents to imagine a ladder, where 0 represents the worst possible life and 10 the best possible life, and report the step of the ladder they feel they currently stand on.

　　幸福體驗值：該部分使用了蓋洛普世界民意調查(Gallup World Poll)名為“生命階梯”(Ladder of Life)的一個問題。要求調查對象想象一個階梯，0代表最糟的可能生活，10代表最佳的可能生活，并說明他們目前所過的生活處于哪個階梯。

　　Life expectancy: Alongside experienced well-being, the Happy PIanet Index includes a universally important measure of health – life expectancy. We used life expectancy data from the 2011 UNDP Human Development Report

　　預期壽命：除了幸福體驗值，幸福星球指數(shù)也包含了一項普遍重要的健康標準——預期壽命。我們使用的預期壽命數(shù)據(jù)來自2011年聯(lián)合國開發(fā)計劃署的人類發(fā)展報告(2011 UNDP Human Development Report)。

　　Ecological Footprint. The HPI uses the Ecological Footprint promoted by the environmental charity WWF as a measure of resource consumption. It is a per capita measure of the amount of land required to sustain a country’s consumption patterns, measured in terms of global hectares (g ha) which represent a hectare of land with average productive biocapacity.

　　生態(tài)足跡：幸福星球指數(shù)使用環(huán)保慈善組織世界自然基金會(WWF)倡導的生態(tài)足跡，作為資源消耗的一種標準。這是一個土地總量的人均衡量標準，在此標準下，一個國家要能維持平均生態(tài)承載能力所需的土地面積，該面積以公頃來衡量(克/公頃)。

　　Two of the three main factors are directly about happiness. The third (Ecological footprint) is regarded as sustainable happiness. i.e. whether a country could sustain its citizens without any outside help.

　　三個主要因素中的兩個都直接與幸福相關。第三個(生態(tài)足跡)被認為是可持續(xù)幸福。例如，一個國家是否可以在不靠任何外界幫助的情況下維持其公民生活。

　　The idea is that if there was an incident which cut a country completely off from the outside world, or a country had to be completely self-sufficient, most of the developed world would be unable to do that (without losing a lot of its population first).

　　觀點是，若突發(fā)事件導致一個國家與外部世界失去聯(lián)系，或在不流失大量人口的前提下，大多數(shù)發(fā)達國家是做不到完全自給自足這一點的。

　　The reason for some high-income nations to score significantly below other nations is the ecological footprint lt on the planet.

　　一些高收入國家的指數(shù)顯著低于他國的原因在于生態(tài)足跡。

　　Mexicans and Canadians both appear to be happier than their US neighbour - most likely due to the country&aposs ecological footprint.

　　據(jù)顯示，墨西哥人和加拿大人都比他們的鄰居美國人幸福，這主要歸功于國家的生態(tài)足跡。
