一个名叫World Database of Happiness的网站作了这样一个调查，探讨人们对生活的满足感与什么有关系？他们发现财富和幸福之间并没有必然联系，也就是说钱买不到幸福。一个明显的例子是关于那些因中而一夜暴富的人的：

In most cases, after the initial（最初的'） joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to（有的倾向） revert（回复） to the way they felt before they became rich.

那么，什么才是打开幸福之门的钥匙呢？

Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities（权威人士、专家） at the World Database of Happiness have surveyed（考察） levels of happiness in different countries.

此外，调查还指出了亲情的重要性：

Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term contentment.（满足） The Web site suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.

「读书笔记」

case使案件、事例、情况的意思，许多人都用小case做自己的口头禅，不是吗？所以In most cases就是在大部分事例中的意思。这个most可以被许多词替换，意思也因此发生细微的变化，比如：in the case of（在这个事例中，至于）In the case of a highly intelligent animal, elementary training is easy.就高度灵敏的动物而言,初级训练并不难。In any case（在任何事例中，无论如何）In any case, we will have to leave soon.无论如何，我们都得马上离开。
