时差N小时:有钱就一定幸福吗?

　　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.

　　金钱使我们感到高兴吗?那么，根据著名的披头士乐队的歌，没有：“钱不能买我对你的爱。”但是，当然，披头士乐队还在Motown歌曲的封面上写着，所以，“钱，这就是我想要的。”选哪个呢?答案，根据心理学家的研究，达到一定数量的钱，可以买到幸福，可以这么说。毕竟，没有足够的钱来买吃的，衣物，住房和其他基本必需品，就很难感到幸福了。但是，一旦基本覆盖，单靠金钱并不等于幸福。换句话说，有越来越多的钱并不一定让你更快乐。几十个研究支持这个观点。根据大量最近的研究，幸福并不取决于钱的多少，而更取决于你怎么花。
