3. Relationships matter—a lot.
人際關(guān)系很重要。

"At 56, for people who put energy into families, there was a big payback," said Michael Apted.
導(dǎo)演邁克爾·艾普特說，“56歲的時(shí)候，那些為家庭盡心盡力的人，都得到了很大的回報(bào)?！?/p>

Again and again, the "Up" series reveals how critical friends, family, and social connections are to an individual’s success and happiness in life. For both men and women, caring for others invested their lives with a meaning that they weren't able to find in any other activity.
《人生七年》曾多次證實(shí)了友情、親情、社會(huì)關(guān)系對(duì)于一個(gè)人成功和擁有幸福生活的重要影響。無論是男人還是女人，愛給他們?nèi)松鷰淼囊饬x、是其他任何活動(dòng)都無法得到的。

4. Money also matters—but only up to a point.
錢很重要，但只是在某種層面上重要。

The series originally set out to examine the long-term impact of social class on happiness and life chances. And it does, in fact, show that money matters. But the research also shows that once we secure food, shelter, and a minimum level of comfort, happiness springs from life meaning and relationships much more than money.
紀(jì)錄片的初衷是想驗(yàn)證英國(guó)社會(huì)階級(jí)對(duì)人生幸福和機(jī)遇的影響。事實(shí)上，它的確驗(yàn)證了金錢的重要性。但它也表明，一旦我們能夠滿足食物、住所、基本的舒適感，幸福的源泉更多來自于人生意義、人際關(guān)系，而非金錢。

5. Don't compare yourself to others.
不要老拿自己和別人做對(duì)比。

Yes, research does find that inequality makes us unhappy—but it turns out that this has little to do with absolute amounts of money. It's the comparisons that hurt.
紀(jì)錄片中我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，不平衡感會(huì)使我們感到不幸福，然而結(jié)果表明不幸福感并不是因?yàn)殄X的多少，而是對(duì)比本身給我們帶來的傷害。

We hurt ourselves with comparisons to others, but we can't seem to stop. Remember that each life must be judged on its own terms.
在與別人的對(duì)比中，我們傷害了自己。但我們卻仿佛停不下來。要記住，你的人生過得怎樣與別人無關(guān)。
