「這裡有最美麗的風景、藍色的河流與免費的教育環境,住在這裡的人都樂觀友善。」上面這段話,會讓你想到哪個地方呢?National Geographic 根據聯合國提供的資料,評選出了世界上十個最幸福的國家,為你揭曉評選的結果吧!

They boast the most incredible scenery and offer free education. Their populations are among the most positive and kind in the world. Does this sound like a fairytale? We’re actually talking about real life. National Geographic has put together a list of the happiest countries in the world using data supplied by the UN. We would love to visit each and every one of these wonderful places!


瑞典 Sweden

瑞典,來自北歐的夢幻國度,人人嚮往的美麗仙境。讓瑞典人幸福的原因,在於他們傳統的生活觀念:Fika。根據這個傳統,瑞典人每天在工作期間,只要手上的事情稍微告一段落,他們一定會離開辦公室,和朋友或同事去喝一杯咖啡。15分鐘的放鬆時光,讓他們可以在工作上保持2個小時的愉快心情,難怪咖啡在瑞典這麼受歡迎!
Sweden is a country whose population consistently shows a high level of satisfaction with life. Their secret is the Swedish tradition of Fika, the word used to describe the habit of taking a break from work to go and drink coffee and discuss news with friends. These little sessions last just 15 minutes but take place every two hours. Given this habit, it’s little surprise to learn Sweden is one of the biggest consumers of coffee in the world.

                               

澳大利亞 Australia

澳大利亞有汙染最少的自然環境,還有團結高水準的社會結構。這裡的居民熱愛BBQ,我們可以在各地的公園內看到居民聚在一起烤肉。就算你在這裡找不到可以和你一起烤肉的好朋友,那也可以多多接觸澳大利亞廣大的土地與美麗的大自然。
Australia has very low levels of pollution, high levels of civic engagement, and tight-knit communities. The reason for this, people say, is all down to Australians’ love of barbecues. People are always arranging get-togethers in local parks in order to spend time and socialize with their friends. But if you don’t have any Australian friends, you can always go on the BBQ and XXXX Brewery tour to meet some. You’ll also get the chance to visit breweries and try traditional Australian meat dishes.

紐西蘭 New Zealand

既然都有澳大利亞了,自然風光同樣非常美麗的紐西蘭當然也會上榜。如果你每天活在藍天白雲綠地中,還有各種野生動物與地理景觀陪伴著你過生活,這樣怎麼能不幸福呢?
How can you not be happy when you’re surrounded by blue mountains, incredible wild nature, and all kinds of other breathtaking views? Low levels of pollution and the most diverse wildlife in the world make New Zealanders some of the happiest people.

荷蘭 The Netherlands

荷蘭的居民愛好戶外活動與騎自行車,在這個國家裡面,自行車道的長度竟然長達三萬公里。在阿姆斯特丹租一台腳踏車,就可以開始你的幸福時光囉!
The inhabitants of the Netherlands stand out for their high levels of physical activity and love of riding bikes. They’re quite rightly proud of the system of safe bike tracks they’ve created, which stretch for 30,000 km. If you’re lucky enough to visit Amsterdam, don’t forget to hire a bike and a guide.
                                              

加拿大 Canada

加拿大是旅行者的天堂,高大的山脈與巨大的湖泊,讓加拿大的四季都充滿美景。光是看到這張照片,就能知道為什麼這裡的居民很幸福了。
One of the largest countries in the world, Canada is a real paradise for travelers. The citizens of this great country can take pride in the multitude of beautiful national parks, full of majestic rocky mountains and wide open spaces. You only have to look at these life-affirming vistas to understand why Canadians are such happy people

芬蘭 Finland

世界上所有的煩惱與憂愁,在進到芬蘭的三溫暖烤箱後都會馬上消失。芬蘭的領土面積雖然很大,但其實全國只有大約520萬的人口。在芬蘭總共有330萬間三溫暖浴室,而且是從海邊到室內都有!
All your cares and problems will momentarily evaporate once you enter a traditional Finnish sauna. Despite its small population — just 5.2 million people — Finland has 3.3 million saunas, which can be found almost everywhere, from the shores of lakes to office buildings.

挪威 Norway

挪威人總是以自己的國家為傲,所以他們盡心盡力地保護自己國家的優美環境。只要你願意,也具有相當的膽量,只要一頂帳篷就能在挪威國內的任何地方,感受他的純潔與美麗。
Norwegians are very proud of their magnificent natural surroundings and treat them with the utmost responsibility. It’s said that climbing one of the country’s tallest mountains (known as Skala) can free a person of all their cares and worries. In virtually any corner of this incredible country, you can put up a tent and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the world around you.
                                 

冰島 Iceland

這是個冰河與火山共存的地方,同時也有舒適的溫泉和沙灘,這就是讓冰島居民感到幸福的原因。冰島充滿各種可以放鬆心情的元素,不用舟車勞頓就可以同時擁有多種享受!
Volcanoes, wild beaches, hot springs, and an incomparable landscape — all of these things make the people of Iceland some of the happiest on Earth. Indeed — how could you not feel joy lying in the warm blue waters and taking in these views?

瑞士 Switzerland

這個國家有非常多種巧克力,少女們在這裡肯定會感到瘋狂。瑞士居民的生活方式非常健康,他們經常在高山上滑雪,也會在山丘上從事飛行傘運動,難怪這裡的人都吃不胖!
A country with so many varieties of chocolate available cannot, by definition, be unhappy. But the people of Switzerland are also very keen on the healthy lifestyle — many of them enjoy skiing, kayaking, and paragliding. It’s no surprise to find, therefore, that the country boasts the lowest level of obesity in the world.
                                                                  

丹麥 Denmark

說到幸福,我們怎麼能不把幸福和丹麥聯想在一起呢?這個以美人魚為象徵的國家,居民其實比美人魚還要幸福許多。這個幸福國家的教育體制還有健康照護制度都是世界上一流的,更重要的是,他們都是免費的!丹麥人以他們的幸福生活為傲,他們的驕傲也確實是有原因的!
Denmark is believed to be the happiest country on Earth. And it’s not only because they enjoy completely free healthcare and education. Its inhabitants are proud of their sense of cohesion. They’re also the kind of people who will readily invite you round for a cup of tea even if they barely know you.
