　　Ever heard the old saying1“Money cannot buy happiness”? With the popularity of the lottery, you may not believe it. Many people think that getting rich will solve all their problems. The truth is that they are probably mistaken.2

　　Studies have been done on people who suddenly3 became rich, such as lottery winners. The studies show that these people are very happy at first. But, after a while, their happiness wears off, and they go back to feeling the way they did before they had won any money.

　　If money does not bring happiness, then what does? One study suggests4 that good family relationships5 are the key to being happy. Another study says that falling in love andshavingschildren bring the greatest happiness.shavingsmoney is nice, but it seems that love is what makes the world go round.

心理篇：金钱诚可贵，感情价更高(1)

　　翻译

　　　　听说过“金钱买不到快乐”这句古谚语吗？有了彩票的风行，你也许不太相信这句话。许多人认为变富会解决他们所有的问题。事实是他们大概弄错了。

　　　　有人针对像彩票赢家这样的突然变富的人做了研究。研究表明，这些人起初非常高兴。但是过了一段时间之后，他们的幸福感就消退了，心情回复到赢钱之前的情形。

　　　　如果金钱不能带来快乐，那么什么可以呢？一项研究揭示，良好的家庭关系是保持快乐的关键。另一项研究则表示，恋爱和拥有孩子会带来最大的快乐。有钱是很好，但似乎是爱才使得世界有所进展。

　　Sentence_4u

　　wear off“消退”，例如：

　　The excitement of last night’s party wore off in the morning.

　　昨晚晚会的兴奋到早上就消退了。
