We know something about what controls satisfaction of the happiness self.
我们知道什么能够让人的快乐得到满足。
We know that money is very important, goals are very important.
我们知道钱是很重要的，目标也非常重要。
We know that happiness is mainly being satisfied with people that we like,
我们知道要快乐是需要通过我们所喜爱的人来满足，
spending time with people that we like.
是需要花时间和他们待在一起来满足。
There are other pleasures, but this is dominant.
虽然还有其它因素，但这是主要因素。
So if you want to maximize the happiness of the two selves,
所以假若你想让两个自我都快乐，
you are going to end up doing very different things.
你必须抛弃旧习且要做些与众不同的事。
The bottom line of what I’ve said here
我说的是，我们至少
is that we really should not think of happiness as a substitute for well-being.
不应把快乐当成活得好的代名词。
It is a completely different notion.
这两者是天壤之别的。
Now, very quickly, another reason we cannot think straight about happiness
现在，很快地讨论下另一个我们不能理解快乐本质的原因，
is that we do not attend to the same things when we think about life, and we actually live.
那就是我们怎么看生活和我们怎么过生活是不一样的。
So, if you ask the simple question of how happy people are in California,
所以，当你问加州的人有多快乐时，
you are not going to get to the correct answer.
你将无法得到正确答案。
When you ask that question, you think people must be happier in California if, say, you live in Ohio.
因为当你这样问时，你认为加州人一定过得比较快乐，而你则住在俄亥俄州。
And what happens is when you think about living in California,
当你在想住在加州有多快乐时，
you are thinking of the contrast between California and other places, and that contrast, say, is in climate.
你会想到加州和其他州域之间的差异性，譬如气候。
Well, it turns out that climate is not very important to the experiencing self
事实证明气候条件对于经验自我并非很重要
and it’s not even very important to the reflective self that decides how happy people are.
而且对于思考自我衡量自己有多快乐也不太重要。
演讲简介：
通过使用休假和胃肠镜检查的例子，诺贝尔奖获得者及行为经济学创始者丹尼尔·卡纳曼向我们揭示了“经验自我”和“记忆自我”是如何使用不同角度来理解快乐。这一新见解将会对经济领域、公共政策领域以及我们的自我意识产生深远的影响。
