求朋友們!幫我作英語閱讀一篇
In adulthood,the things that bring great joy –birth,love,and marriage – also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.Love may not last,lived ones die.For adults,happiness is complicated.
My dictionary defines happy as “l(fā)uck” or “fortunate”.But I think a better definition of happiness is “the capability of enjoyment”.The more we can enjoy what we have,the happier we are.It’s easy to neglect the pleasure we get from loving and being loved,the company of friends,the freedom to live where we please,even good health.
I added up my little moment of pleasure yesterday.First,there was great bliss when I had the house to myself.I spent a whole morning writing,which I love.When the kids came home,I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
You never know where happiness will appear next.When I asked friends what makes them happy,some mentioned seemingly tiny things.One of my friends loves the telephone.“Every time it rings,I know someone is thinking about me.”
We all experience moments like these.But few of regard them as happiness.
