　　People experience a sharp drop in well-being when they are unemployed. Unemployment causes as much unhappiness as bereavement or separation。

　　当人们丢了工作时，他们遭受着幸福感的急剧跌落。失业造成的痛苦与丧失亲友或分居程度相当。

　　High unemployment impacts the happiness not just on the families of the unemployed but also those in work who feel less secure in their jobs。

　　居高不下的失业率不仅仅影响失业家庭的幸福感，同样也影响着那些仍在岗位上但却对工作缺乏安全感的人们。

　　The quality of work is extremely important to happiness. Respondents from OECD countries were asked to rank eight different job characteristics on a five point scale from not at all important to very important. Only 20 percent of respondents from OECD countries said a high income is very important, 60 percent said job security is very important, while 50 percent said interest work is very important。

　　工作质量对于幸福的影响也极其重要。来自经济合作及发展组织国家的调查对象，要求他们在5分范围内从不重要到非常重要排出8个不同的影响幸福的工作特征，仅有20%的人认为高收入非常重要，60%的人认为工作安全非常重要，而50%的人认为工作兴趣最重要。

Increase happiness

　　Trust, freedom, equality and social interactions increase happiness

　　信任、自由、平等和社交互动能够提升幸福感

　　Individual happiness comes from a set of social interactions, and trust plays a huge role. In a well-functioning society there is a high level of trust between citizens and between institutions。

　　个人的快乐幸福来自于一系列的社交互动，在这其中信任起着重要作用。在一个运行良好的社会中，公民与制度之间存在着一个很高程度的信任。

　　Bonding capital i.e. people who are similar to one another and bridging capital i.e. people who are different impacts life satisfaction and happiness. "We want both - not only good social capital within communities but also good links between communities."

　　社会资本指的是很相似的一群人，而桥梁资本则指的是生活满意度和幸福感影响程度不同的人们。“我们两者都想要，不仅是需要团体内部的社会资本，也需要社会团体间良好的链接。”

　　Freedom is a key component to happiness。

　　自由是幸福的关键因素。

　　Equality plays a huge role in happiness because greater equality is associated with reduced social tensions, especially when the inequality is seen as unfair. Also, the value of extra income is greater for the rich than the poor。

　　在幸福感的影响因素中，平等也非常重要，因为较大程度的平等意味着社会紧张感的减少，特别是在不平等会等同于不公平的状态下。同样，额外收入对于富人的价值要比其对穷人的价值大。
