(英译汉)Although there is a strong positive relationship between wealth and happiness,it is only true for those who live below the poverty line or who are unemployed.Research suggests that there are things that contribute more to happiness than external factors.That doesn’t mean that if you have a lot of money you won’t be happy,or that having a lot of money is bad;it just means that other factors are more important in determining happiness.More important,it is the way we choose to think about ourselves,our place in the world,and the world around us,and how we act in that world that sets the happy people apart from the less happy people.

A: Very well, we have settled everything about this transaction, except the terms of payment.
B: As you know, we prefer the L/C 20 days in advance which expires 15 days after receiving the paking list.
A: I suppose you have known our financial standing and credit well now after our long-term cooperation.We know an irrevocable L/C can ensure that the seller gets payment duly.But, on the other hand, it would increase the buying cost.Therefore, could you consider giving us D/P this time?
B: I am sorry.But our rules only allow us to accept other terms of payment by L/C, although the buyer has had two or three transactions with us before.
A: But why not if you have known the buyer's credit after several deals?
B: We hope you can understand.We have got some serious lessons from the credulity.One of them was through D/P documentary collection.When the shipment worth US $50000 was effected, the buyer refused to make the payment.But we can do nothing with it.And that buyer had had one or two deals before this one.
A: I see.But the flexible terms of payment will definitely bring you more orders as well as facilitate the buyers' purchasing.
B: Sure.We don't mean we won't accept other terms of payment forever.As a matter of fact, we will do so when we have known well about the buyer's credit after a real long-term cooperation.

I was born in England, to English parents. When I was two years old my dad got a new job in Poland. Since then I have lived in four other countries around the world. Although I have a British passport,I sometimes don&39;t feel very English at all!
One of the best things about moving around a lot when 1 was younger experiencing many diverse cultures and countries. I was able to try different foods, learn different languages, experience different traditions and meet people from different backgrounds. I am also lucky to have friends all over the world that 1 keep in regular contact with.
However, it wasn&39;t always easy. It often felt like I had only just settled in to the new school city and culture before my parents told me we were moving again. Leaving my friends behind was damaging as a child. I have lost touch with many people 1 was very close to because one of us moved country. It was also very disorientating to have an English passport, but not feel very English at all. Because 1 had no access to English culture, returning 4home, often felt like visiting a foreign country. Happily, now l feel more at home in England—although the question, “where are you from?” still confuses me!

[2] What somebody from one area may find hilarious may not be amusing at all to somebody from another location. Whether or not someone gets a joke is determined by their interpretation, filtered by the cultural context.
[3] What about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Does that mean that they will then share the same sense of humor, or can differences still occur? Let’s take the example of Britain and America. Not only do Americans and Brits spell the word “humor” differently, most claim that American humor and British humor are quite different in nature. Time and time again, people say that Brits and Americans don’t “get” each other’s sense of humor. To what extent is this true, if at all?
[4] There’s a received wisdom in the U.K. that Americans don’t get irony. It is often believed to be one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humor. This is of course not true. One of the major differences seems to be how often both countries use irony. Brits use irony on a daily basis. We use it as liberally as prepositions in every day speech. We tease our friends. We use sarcasm as a shield and a weapon. We avoid sincerity until it’s absolutely necessary. We mercilessly take the piss out of people we like or dislike basically. And ourselves. This is very important. Our brashness and swagger is laden with equal portions of self-deprecation. This is our license to hand it out.
[5] But it is not the foundation of American humor. I think Americans understand British irony (most of the time anyway!); what they don’t understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use irony they tend to state that they were “only kidding”. They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do, maybe this stems from a fear of offending people.
[6] The American sense of humor is generally more slapstick than that in Britain. I think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. Their jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle but with a dark or sarcastic undertone. There is usually a hidden meaning. This may stem from the fact that British culture is more reserved than American culture.
[7] Americans say, “Have a nice day” whether they mean it or not. Brits are terrified to say this. We tell ourselves it’s because we don’t want to sound insincere, but I think it might be for the opposite reason. We don’t want to celebrate anything too soon. Failure and disappointment lurk around every corner. This is due to our upbringing. Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States. Brits are told, “It won’t happen for you.”
[8] Yet certain American comedies have gained huge success in Britain and vice versa. Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other sense of humor. Both the British and American versions of the comedy The Office are hugely successfully on both sides of the Atlantic. Both shows have their own cultural differences, yet they portray a lifestyle. which both Americans and Brits alike can relate to. Although both nations have subtle differences in their wit, they can appreciate the other’s sense of humor.
