For the eighth year in a row, Finland has been named the happiest country in the world.

芬蘭連續第八年被評為世界上最幸福的國家。

It seems that Finnish people are relatively satisfied with their lives.

芬蘭人似乎對自己的生活比較滿意。

And it's quite much has to do with that we have quite a well functioning society, so the democracy is functioning well, so we have free elections, free speech, low levels of corruption, and all of these have been shown to predict higher levels of national levels of well-being.

這在很大程度上與我們擁有一個運作良好的社會有關，民主運作良好，所以我們有自由選舉、言論自由、低腐敗水準，而所有這些都被證明可以預測更高水平的國民幸福感。

While the country's high happiness score can be explained by the presence of civil liberties, a welfare state or wealth redistribution, many are quick to point out another key element.

雖然該國的幸福指數可以用公民自由、福利國家或財富再分配來解釋，但許多人很快就指出了另一個關鍵因素。

I think coming from England, I think the thing that stands out for me in Finland is the emphasis on nature. It seems like everyone's a lot more in touch with nature.

來自英國的我認為，芬蘭最突出的一點是對自然的重視，似乎每個人都更加熱愛自然。

I'd say that especially now that the sun is shining, nature is an important part of that happiness.

我想說，尤其是現在陽光明媚，大自然是幸福的重要組成部分。

As usual, Nordic countries scored highly in the happiness report, which creates its ranking using survey data from the past three years, along with measures of GDP per capita, social support, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption.

與往常一樣，北歐國家在幸福感報告中得分很高。幸福感報告是根據過去三年的調查數據以及人均國內生產總值、社會支持、預期壽命、自由度、慷慨程度和腐敗程度等指標進行排名的。

But according to the report's editor in chief, this year's figures show a pointed increase in anxiety around the world.

但據報告主編稱，今年的數據顯示，全世界的焦慮情緒明顯增加。

The larger political turbulence, shall we say, these days, does very much play a role.

可以說，這些天來更大範圍的政治動盪在很大程度上起了作用。

And we pick this up in the negative emotions around anxiety, worry, stress.

我們會在焦慮、擔憂、壓力等負面情緒中發現這一點。

The degree that people worry has increased extraordinarily.

人們的擔憂程度超乎尋常地增加了。

The United States fell to 24th on the list, its worst score since the World Happiness Report was first published in 2012.

France came in at only 33rd place, despite French emphasis on shared meals, which the scientists have identified is one of the secrets to happiness.

法國僅排在第 33 位，儘管法國人強調共同進餐，而科學家們認為這是幸福的祕訣之一。
