Happiness 我对幸福的看法
My views on happiness
Since happiness has been a hotly discussed topic,more and more people are putting their opinion on its internal meaning.British dramatist G. Bernard Shaw once said that happiness is the man who is living by his hobby.While American great president Franklin Roosevelt thought Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money;it lies in the joy of achievement,in the thrill of creative effort.When it comes to me about what is the true happiness,I would rather take Abraham Lincoln’s view that most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Indeed,happiness has thousands of appearances.When I was a freshman in the university,I took part in a contest,relating to English.For the next three days,I was completely absorbed in the world of English-novels,exams,speeches,songs,all of it bringing me excitement,surprise and enjoyment.The feeling of thoroughly concentrating on something I was interested in was the most wonderful experience.Everyone has an equal chance to make fairy-tales come true,as well as get the happiness that is already ready for us.The only thing I need to do is take the first step,make every effort to pursue what I heartily want and stick to it.Actually,very little is needed to make a happy life.It is all within myself,in my way of acting,in my own way of thinking.Some people
go through life pleased that the glass is half full.Others spend a lifetime complaining that it is half-empty.The truth is:There is a glass with a certain volume of liquid in it.From there,it’s up to you! In fact,happiness is not a hard thing to obtain,though it is precious.It is the attitude we take toward our life.It is the way we treat others surrounding us.And above all,it is the choice we make to behave.
Unit 9 What is happiness课文翻译综合教程二
Unit 9 What Is Happiness? John Ciardi (abridged) The right to pursue happiness is issued to Americans with their birth certificates, but no one seems quite sure which way it runs. It may be we are issued a hunting license but offered no game. Jonathan Swift seemed to think so when he attacked the idea of happiness as “the possession of being well-deceived,” the felicity of being “a fool among knaves.” For Swift saw society as Vanity Fair, the land of false goals. It is, of course, un-American to think in terms of fools and knaves. We do, however, seem to be dedicated to the idea of buying our way to happiness. We shall all have made it to Heaven when we possess enough. And at the same time the forces of American commercialism are hugely dedicated to making us deliberately unhappy. Advertising is one of our major industries, and advertising exists not to satisfy desires but to create them —and to create them faster than any man’s budget can satisfy them. For that matter, our whole economy is base d on a dedicated insatiability. We are taught that to possess is to be happy, and then we are made to want. We are even told it is our duty to want. It was only a few years ago, to cite a single example, that car dealers across the country were flying banners that read "You Auto Buy Now." They were calling upon Americans, as an act approaching patriotism, to buy at once, with money they did not have, automobiles they did not really need, and which they would be required to grow tired of by the time the next year’s models were released. Or look at any of the women’s magazines. There, as Bernard DeVoto once pointed out, advertising begins as poetry in the front pages and ends as pharmacopoeia and therapy in the back pages. The poetry of the front matter is the dream of perfect beauty. This is the baby skin that must be hers. These, the flawless teeth. This, the perfumed breath she must exhale. This, the sixteen-year-old figure she must display at forty, at fifty, at sixty, and forever. Once past the vaguely uplifting fiction and feature articles, the reader finds the other face of the dream in the back matter. This is the harness into which Mother must strap herself in order to display that perfect figure. These, the chin straps she must sleep in. This is the salve that restores all, this is her laxative, these are the tablets that melt away fat, these are the hormones of perpetual youth, these are the stockings that hide varicose veins.
大学英语作文：幸福 Happiness
【篇一】幸福 Happiness The definition of happiness varies from person to person. Most people believe that earning a lot of money and living the comfortable life are the symbol of great happiness. It is true that making great achievement is our target, so we work so hard to realize our goals. But as we grow up, we realize the different definitions of happiness. 幸福的定义因人而异，大多数人认为赚大钱，过舒适的生活就是幸福的象征。确实，取得伟大的成就是我们的目标，所以我们努力去实现我们的目标。但随着我们的长大，我们意识到关于幸福不一样的定义。 When I graduated from college, the job I chose was far away from home. I never thought about the distance between me and my parents. But in the first year of working, I met some difficult time in my career, just like other young people. At that moment, all I could do was to face the challenge by myself, because I didn’t want my parents to worry about me. Every time when I called home, my parents always comforted me by asking me to go home often. I realized the happiness for me was to have my parents stood by my side. 我大学毕业的时候我选择了离家很远的工作，我从来没有想过关于我和父母之间距离的。但工作的第一年，我的职业生涯就像其他年轻人一样遇到了一些困难。那一刻，我能做的就是独自面对挑战，因为我不想让父母为我担心。每次我打电话回家，父母总是安慰我，让我常回家。我意识到父母能够陪在我身边就是我的幸福。 As an ordinary girl, my definition of happiness is to company my parents as often as possible. Nothing can compare the time to stay with my families. 作为一个普通的女孩，我对幸福的定义是尽可能多地陪伴父母。没有什么能比和家人呆在一起的时间更宝贵了。 【篇二】国际合作节 International Day of Cooperatives Today, the world is globalized and more and more foreigners come to China to seek for business cooperation. Many years ago, a non-profit organization named the second Saturday of July as the International Day of Cooperatives. Its purpose is to call for more cooperations between countries. 当今世界是全球化的，越来越多的外国人来中国寻求商业合作。许多年前，一个非营利组织将7月的第二个星期六定为国际合作日。其目的是呼吁各国之间进行更多的合作。 With the development of Internet, the world gets smaller, because the communication between countries has increased. America is the superpower all the time, but during recent times, there are so many business cooperation between Chinese people and American people. It is known to all that China’s market is full of vitality, so there is no doubt that cooperation between countries will be the main trend. 随着互联网的发展，世界变得越来越小，因为国与国之间的交流增加了。美国一直是超级大国，但在最近，中国和美国之间进行了很多商业合作。众所周知，
我对幸福的看法
关于幸福，我想说…… 小时候，总感觉幸福这个词似乎有点飘渺，给人一种虚幻的感觉。但是，渐渐地，我长大了；渐渐地，幸福这个词被我们不断提及，不断被解释。蓦然回首，幸福其实如此简单而已。曾经在某个朋友的日志中看到这样一段话： 幸福是什么？ 孩子1岁半时稚气地回答:幸福就是妈妈的怀抱! 孩子6岁时不假思索地回答:幸福就是吃喝玩乐! 孩子8岁时若有所思地回答:幸福就是自由自在... 的确，幸福本来就不是所谓的海市蜃楼，只要我们愿意，随手就可以触碰。只是很多时候，我们总爱忽略我们拥有的，却执着于我们不曾得到的。或许这就是人性的弱点吧。 木头对火说：“抱我。”于是火拥抱了木头，木头微笑着化为灰烬。火哭了，泪水熄灭了自己……当木头爱上烈火，就注定被烧伤。我不是一个“空悲切”的人，但是每次读到这样的句子，总是难免会小小的感伤一下。这样的爱情太过凄美，它封存了太多了相见的美好，又埋葬了多少黯然的哀伤。只是，现在想想，这又何尝不是一种幸福呢。木头爱上烈火，就注定可望而不可及，他们只能互相观望，这样的日子对于他们来说或许更加痛苦把。所以他们选择用生命的燃烧来造就一次心灵的触碰。他们做到了，他们化为灰烬，但至少，他们是带着满足离开的。烈火最后的那滴泪水，或许只是因为解脱和满足带来的幸福罢了。原来幸福的泉眼叫满足。 露珠只是在它小小的球体里理解太阳。很多人会嘲笑它的目光短浅，的确，它只有一个小小的露珠的范围，不到一平方米的大小。而且它的时间也是短暂的，它与太阳总是擦肩而过。但是，就是在那样短暂的时间里，它用它的方式感受着太阳给予它的光和热。它是幸福的，毕竟它得到了自己想要的阳光，它理解太阳所赋予它的使命。我们有什么理由嘲笑它呢，那是它的世界，我们不曾进入，又怎会明白呢。或许从它的世界理解的太阳更加绚丽。幸福从来都是一个人的事，只有自己才真正了解。 这世上有好多人和好多家庭在外人眼里都是非常幸福的，因为从各种客观条件来计算，他们是应该幸福的。很好的职业，丰厚的收入，宽敞的房子，漂亮温柔的老婆，英俊能干的老公，这些加在一起想不幸福都难。可惜，幸福不是靠条件推断出来的，它和物质有联系，但是这种联系不是必然的。 不同的人有不同的幸福观，很多人都会觉得物质上的满足才是真正的幸福，但是也有人就是单纯的追求精神上的满足。对有些人来说大把大把的挣钱，把钱放进自己口袋就是一种幸福；对有些人来说能够尝尽天下美酒，每天晕晕乎乎就是一种幸福；对有些人来说，吃好吃赖无所谓只要老人健康孩子快乐就是一种幸福……当然，每个人都有他的人生观，价值观，世界观。对于他人的决定我们也不好多作评论，有的也只是自己的一些意见。 曾经听别人这么问，乞丐有幸福吗？你见过乞丐谈恋爱吗？到底是乞丐不谈恋爱还是你没见过乞丐谈恋爱呢，你没见过怎么就断定乞丐不谈恋爱呢。再者说不谈恋爱就是不幸福吗？那只是你的幸福观而已。或许对于一个真正的乞丐来说每天能讨得一碗粥、一元钱就是幸福的了。有饭吃对它们来说难道不是幸福吗？ 因此，幸福和钱有没有关系有多大关系那要看你的幸福观是什么了。有些人的幸福必须用钱去买，而有些人的快乐伸手可得。
Feeling happiness幸福
Feeling Happiness What is happiness?Am I a happiness person?Why do I always feel unfortunate?Maybe everyone has asked a few questions just like these but they have different anwers. So to be happy or not to be happy,it’s a question worthing thinking. One would be happy if he or she makes a girlfriend or a boyfriend.Someone may feel very cheerful for getting good grades or social status.Of course,a number of people may be content with eating delicious food or traveling around the world.In a brief, different eyes have different understandings of happiness . Finding happiness is not difficult at all.But why do we always complain about our life? We take it for granted that life should be smooth and think that we should complain. No money, no status, no beautiful appearance or no lover, as long as we like ,we can find a lot of unhappy reasons to let ourselves suffer from all kinds of pains.Maybe sometimes we just need to change our angle and there will be a new field of vision.Every day,we can breathe the fresh air;see the colorful flowers and hear birds singing.Our parents and friends all deeply love us.Why do we feel unhappy? Most people would like to compare with others.When they are more healthy,more beautiful or more unsuccessful,they will feel very happy.But if not,they will feel upset.But we don’t need to compare with anybody.Happiness isn’t luxury.As long as we cherish every moment and everything we own.We can appreciate it.The more we feel from the bottom of heart,the more we will discovery. We can easily feel that happiness is all around us.
Happiness Is an Attitude幸福是一种态度
Happiness Is an Attitude 幸福是一种态度 Maybe you wouldn’t say yesterday was a happy day, because you had a misunderstanding with your friend. But were n’t there moments of happiness, moments of clear peace? Now that you think about it, wasn’t there a letter from an old friend, or a stranger who asked where you got such a great haircut? You remember having a bad day, yet those good moments occurred. 或许你会说，昨天是一个不愉快的日子，因为你与朋友之间产生了舞会。难道说那天就没有快乐和平和之时吗？现在想想看，昨天你是否收到了老朋友的来信？是否有陌生人问你：这么漂亮的发型是在哪儿里剪的？你只想着今天是倒霉的一天，却忽略了发生美好事情的某些瞬间。 Happiness is like a visitor, you can’t command her appearance; you can only appreciate her when she does show up. And you can’t force happiness to happen—but you can make sure you are aware of it when it does. 幸福像一位游客，你不能掌控他的出没。只能欣赏她出现时的倩影。你无力迫使幸福出现——而当幸福来临时，你一定会感觉得到。 Happiness is an attitude, not a condition. It’s cleaning the Venetian blinds while listening to an aria, or spending a pleasant hour organizing

Happiness作文范文
Happiness is the most precious thing in the world, which can be obtained in different ways. From my point of view, being in a good mood anytime and anywhere is the first thing for those who want to be happy. There is an old saying going like this, "happy is he who is content." I can't agree with it any more. I still remember a story my mother told me when I was a child. A millionaire tried every means to seek after pleasure but to feel unhappy. It's not unique, but has its counterpart that poor men to whose name not having a thing always feel happy. Why are they so different? The answer is that the rich is being thinking how he can gain more while the poor is satisfied with what he owns at hand-health, freedom, love and so on. Furthermore, love makes great difference to happiness. If you have love in your heart, you will have happiness in your life. Love consists of two parts, one is to love others, and the other is to be loved by others. Lei Feng set a good example for all of us. He served the people wholeheartedly until the last minute of his life. He regarded serving the people as the happiest thing. There are numbers of similar inspirational stories to be found. In addition, being loved by others can also lead you t o happiness. Courage from your parents when frustrated, care from your lover when ill, help from your friends when in trouble… all of these will make you the happiest person in the world. The last but not least is to act happily. Putting on a happy face and thinking interesting things are helpful to trigger happy feelings. Wile happiness is precious, it is easy to get. Happiness What is happiness? Different people have different ideas. Some people are rich; they think they are happy. Other people have many friends, so they feel happy. Still others are happy because their lives are meaningful. Happiness attracts(吸引) everyone. For children, happiness often suggests eating something good or playing with toys. For a stamp collector, stamps bring more delight than meals. And for a scientist, a discovery or an invention rather than anything else gives him greatest satisfaction. There was once a beggar who was always happy. The king saw him and wondered why he was so happy because he was so poor. However, the king could have whatever he wanted; yet h e himself was not happy at all. Thus we can see one’s happiness doesn’t depend on whether he is rich or poor. Happiness is a state of mind. As long as one thinks he’s content and satisfied, he is happy. As everything exist only because its opposite(对立的), happiness exists only when pain exists. Just as a person who does not know failure never knows success, a person, who has not experienced suffering or sadness never knows what happiness means. Happiness always promises (允诺) a hope by which people go on living. When they come to the point of losing hope because they have suffered a great deal, it is often the time when happiness comes that will give them the courage and desire(渴望) to live. Cheer up and be happy. Happiness is not far from you. It’s just around you. Try to grasp(抓牢) it and enjoy it. Happiness Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or a large number of possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can have everything. I don’t agree with the above points. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth” of happiness is in my study Freedom in my Dream As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life. I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and

on happiness 高级英语写作练习 关于幸福
On happiness Everyone have their own way to pursue the happiness they think,but also have a lot of people who have no idea of happiness while working busily everyday. “What is happiness?”.Everybody has his own different opinions for this question. Some people believed that happiness accompanied with the satisfaction in the well relationship just like Victor Hugo,the French novelist,said:“The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved”. There is only the pain which we can feel if we accompany day and night with the person we dislike. But Thomas Edison also said that achievement provides the only real pleasure in life. Well-being comes from intense self-identification and realizing one’s self-value in his view. Different from them,Abraham Lincoln have suggested that the most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.Based on this statement,we might conclude that the happiness is only a feeling which depend more on what you think than what the reality is. This just right consistent with the old Taoist wisdom that happiness consists in contentment to a certain extent. Although the adults have made a lot of discussion in this question,happiness for most of children sames just as simple as joy which is easy to obtain.
