下半年大學英語四級美文：Happiness

　　在學習、工作乃至生活中，大家應該都對美文很熟悉吧？隨著網(wǎng)絡文化的發(fā)展，美文的概念已經(jīng)不限定于某種文體，或某類內(nèi)容。那么，你知道一篇好的美文要怎么寫嗎？下面是小編收集整理的下半年大學英語四級美文：Happiness，僅供參考，希望能夠幫助到大家。

　　Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happiness will naturally follow.Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth.The world is full of very rich peoplewho are as miserable as if they were living in hell.We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.Gamble winnings do not bring happiness.To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,There is no use sayingin your contribution towards others’ happinessand in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort.If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means,you will know that it is ill earned money.If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others,you will not be happy with it.You will think you are a base person.Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem.Happiness is not an end; it is a process.It is a continuous process of honest, productive workwhich makes a real contribution to othersand makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person.As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”There is no use saying“Some day when I achieve these goals,when I get a car, build a house and own my own business,then I will be really happy.”Life just does not work that way.If you wait for certain things to happenand depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,you will always feel unfulfilled.There will always be something missing.

　　許多人認為當他們富有，取得成功時，幸福自然就會隨之而來。我告訴你:事實并非如此。世界上有很多富人，但是他們卻很痛苦，猶如生活在地獄中。我們都讀過影星自殺或死于吸毒的故事。顯而易見，錢不是解決所有問題的答案。通過不正當手段獲得的財富并不能帶來幸福。抽到獎券也不會帶來幸福;賭博也不會帶給你幸福。

　　在我看來，幸福的秘密在于要有成功的工作。通過帶給別人幸福和誠實的努力而獲得的幸福才是真正的幸福。如果你是通過運氣或是不誠實的手段而獲得錢財，你會知道那并不是辛苦掙來的錢;如果通過利用別人或是傷害別人而獲得錢財，你不會因此高興。你會認為自己是個卑鄙的人。長期的幸福是建立在誠實，有成果的工作，貢獻和自尊的基石上的。

　　幸福并不是終點，而是種過程。那是一個持續(xù)地通過誠實，有成果的工作為他人奉獻的過程，這樣做也會讓你感到自己是一個有用的且有價值的人。正如韋恩博士所說的那樣：“沒有那條路能通向幸福。幸福本身就是那條路�！薄坝刑飚斘覍崿F(xiàn)這些目標時，當我買一輛汽車，建一所房子，創(chuàng)立自己的生意時，那時我才是真正幸福的。”生活并不是那樣進行的。如果你等待某些事情的發(fā)生或依靠生活的外部環(huán)境來讓你自己感到幸福，你總也不會感到滿足�？倳�有些事與你失之交臂。
