（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.
