我眼中的快乐 My Understanding of Happiness

这篇英语作文My Understanding of Happiness是读者朱培玉同学的投稿，中文名称可以直译为《我对快乐的理解》，但笔者更喜欢把它翻译成《我眼中的快乐》。作者在这篇文章中从三个方面谈了自己对于快乐的看法，见解独到，句式灵活，值得推荐。

Happiness is just like a ferris wheel,everyone look up at it, in fact it isn`t in the sky,everyone can have a ticket to get into it,and someone has already in it.That`s to say, we `ve wasted too much time and efforts  seaching for happiness,ignoring that happiness is just around us.

In my opinion,happiness is an attitude which you can choose to be or not to be,and most of the time ,it is because of the following three things that we make this choice.

The basic factor may be that we have something to do.In our life , we work not only for making money,but also for pleasure and self-satisfaction.We can find that life is empty without a job. Mrs Curie once said that her happiest thing wasn`t receiving prize, but working in the lab.In fact, no matter what you are doing ,just put your heart in it , and you`ll feel happy.

There is a saying:hope itself is a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.And hope,is what I think to be the second factor.Hope offers us the reason why we keep moving on and it supports our life.After the World War two,Germany put flowers in ruins,I think even at that time they were happy, because they had their hope in their future .Losing hope means the end of life, so let`s have a beautiful dream and show our happy smile.

To make our world a happy one, I think love is very important and it is the third element. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach it with Sharing. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

At last ,I must say that there is no better time than right now to be happy.I said “to be happy” ,not “to get happiness”, bacause it is just your choice ,so why not follow the three aspacts and feel happy?
