Do you want to be happy? Of course you do, but according to new research, resting and relaxation are no way to go about it.

You're better off going to the theatre or exercising; even a visit to the library beats lounging around on the sofa.
你最好去剧院看场剧，或者去做运动，即使是去图书馆看书也比躺在沙发上无所事事要强。
Such were the findings of a joint study by the University of Sussex and the London School of Economics, which has come up with a list of 33 activities that make us happy.
这是苏塞克斯大学和伦敦经济学院共同研究的发现，从中还得出了一份清单，列出了33件可以让我们快乐的事。
One thing's for certain, texting and social media come at the bottom of the list, only increasing our happiness by a puny 0.45 per cent.
可以肯定的是，短信和社交媒体只能让我们的快乐感增加微不足道的0.45%，排在了列表的末尾。
But happiness doesn't have to come from other people. It can come from within - and connecting with the world around you.
但是快乐不一定是来自别人的，它还可以源于自身，与你周围的世界有着紧密的联系。
