Inlatercenturies,somesageshavesuggestedthathappinesscomesfromlivingavirtuouslife,andothers,fromindulgingpleasures;somethatitcomesfromknowingthetruth,andothers,frompreservingillusions;somethatitcomesfromrestraint,andothers,fromgettingridofrageandmisery.

(Line12)本句中有三個排比句，其中后兩個都使用了省略形式。譯文譯文在此后的幾個世紀里，一些智者認為快樂源于高尚的人生，而另一些則認為快樂來自盡情享受；一些智者認為快樂源于認知真理，而另一些則認為快樂來自一直存有的幻想；一些智者認為快樂源于自律，而另一些則認為快樂在于擺脫憤怒和痛苦。分析

some

mythsaboutwho’shappyandwho’snotbyidentifyingpredictorsofhappinessandlifesatisfaction.

(Line19)譯文Explodesome

myths這里的含義是“provethatsomethingthatmanypeoplebelieveisactuallywrongornottrue”即“推翻、戳穿錯誤的觀念”。譯文社會科學(xué)家通過努力尋求什么與人生的快樂和滿足有關(guān)，推翻了一些關(guān)于哪些人快樂、哪些人不快樂的錯誤觀念。Scientistswantedtoexplodethemythofamonsterlivinginthelake.科學(xué)家們想揭穿湖底有怪獸的荒誕說法。Example該書最后推翻了有關(guān)宇宙起源的一些錯誤觀念。Thisbookfinallyexplodessomeofthemythsabouttheoriginoftheuniverse.譯文Whentroubled,menmoreoftenbecomealcoholic,whilewomenmoreoftenthinkdeeplyandgetdepressedoranxious.

(line33)面臨煩惱時，男人更喜歡借酒消愁，而女人則更容易陷于沉思，變得憂郁或焦慮。分析：該句帶有省略的時間狀語從句，while

在這里則表示轉(zhuǎn)折和對比。WhileIunderstandyourviewpoint,Idon’tagreewithyou.雖然我了解你的見解，我還是不能同意你。Example我一個星期只賺50美元，她卻能賺80美元．Iearnonly50dollarsaweek,whilesheearns80.譯文在人生觀和近期經(jīng)歷的影響下，我們的快樂程度會圍繞一個固有值上下浮動．這個固有的快樂值使一些人笑口常開，而使另一些人愁腸百結(jié)．分析：該句包含一個which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，其先行詞為前面整個句子。４Dependingonouroutlooksandrecentexperiences,ourhappinessfluctuatesaroundourhappinesssetpoint,whichdisposessomepeopletobeevercheerfulandothersgloomy.(line79)一部分道路被水淹了，這給我們的旅行帶來不便。Someoftheroadswereflooded,whichmadeourjourneymoredifficult.他說他沒有單車，其實他有。Hesaidhehadnobike,whichwasnottrue.Example譯文５A(chǔ)lthoughabadmarriagemaybemoredepressingtoawomanthantoaman,themyththatsinglewomenreportgreaterhappinessthanmarriedwomencanbeignored.

(Line101)盡管一個失敗的婚姻可能使女性比男性更沮喪，但認為單身女性比已婚女性更快樂的說法是完全站不住腳的。分析：該句中由that引導(dǎo)的從句作themyth

的同位語。Thenewsthathewasresigninghispositionprovedtobeincorrect.Example關(guān)于主席會不會同意他的建議顯然一點把握也沒有。Obviouslytherewaslittlecertaintythatthechairmanwouldagreetothisproposal.他要辭職的消息最終證明是假的。譯文６

Happinessdepends,asNatureshows,lessonexteriorthingsthanmostsuppose.

(Line106)正如現(xiàn)實所顯示的，外部事物對快樂的影響比大多數(shù)人認為的要小得多。分析：該句包含一個比較結(jié)構(gòu)less

…

than
