幸福有公式：六大因素決定幸福指數

SCIENTISTS have come up with what they say is a formula for happiness.
科學家聲稱發現了幸福公式。

If people focus on the six specific factors identified they will feel good, according to a top US psychologist.
美國的一位頂尖心理學家說，如果人們關注於六個具體要素就會感到幸福。

The factors are live in the moment (M), be curious (C), do something you love (L), think of others (T), nurture relationships (N), and care of your body (B). And the formula is Feeling Good = (Mx16 + C + Lx2) + (Tx5 + Nx2 + Bx33).
這六個要素分別是：活在當下（M），有好奇心（C），做喜歡的事（L），爲他人着想（T），培養關係（N），照顧身體（B）。公式就是：感覺很棒=(活在當下x16 + 好奇心 + 做喜歡的事x2) + (爲他人着想x5 + 培養關係x2 + 照顧身體x33)。

Dr Todd Kashdan, of George Mason University in Virginia, reviewed the results of nationwide research into how Brits feel.
弗吉尼亞州喬治梅森大學的託德·卡什丹博士對英國人幸福程度的全國性研究結果進行了評價。

He said: “There is no single secret to feeling good, but when these six ingredients are carefully attended to, in the right doses, you will be on target for a happy life.
他說：“感覺幸福沒有單一的訣竅，但當這六種成分都添加進來並正確配比後，你就會感覺人生很幸福。”

“Each of the ingredients requires a bit of work. Just know that your hard work will lead to the greatest rewards possible.”
“這六種成分的每一種都需要付出一點努力，你只要知道你的努力會給你帶來最大的回報。”

Steven Taylor, marketing director of Transform Cosmetic Surgery, which commissioned the research, said: “We couldn't be more pleased that the partnership with Dr Kashdan led to the creation of an actual formula to Feel Good.
委任這次研究的Transform整形外科手術營銷總監史蒂芬·泰勒說：“我們無比高興地看到與卡什丹博士的合作創建了幸福感的真正公式。”

“We hope that the Feel Good Formula will continue to help boost spirits and put a smile on faces across the UK.”
“我們希望幸福公式將繼續幫助提振精神，讓全英國人民的臉上都有笑容。”
