to 不定詞

I have what some consider to be one of the toughest jobs on the planet.

我有一個全世界公認最艱難的工作

I am a parent to three very busy little boys

我是一個有三個非常忙碌小男孩的母親

分別天真地認為自己是一位醫生、

麵包師、教練、主廚以及治療師

and some days are definitely better than others,

而有一些時候我確實比其他人好

especially the part about having the patience of a saint.

尤其是擁有聖人般的耐心那一部份

I want what most parents want for my kids.

我希望大部分的父母希望他們的小孩一樣

I want them to be free to play, build friendships,

我希望他們能自由地玩耍、交朋友

grow to be kind, compassionate, happy adults.

長成和善、富含同情心及快樂的大人

But there seems to be one small challenge.

suffer from anxiety, depression, and conduct disorders.

Not exactly a pretty picture of happy people on a happy planet.

並非所有人都幸福地生活在一個快樂的星球上

Unfortunately, as adults, whether you're a parent or not,

不幸地，身為一個成人，不論你是不是父母親

this is what our children are learning from us.

and they watch us struggle to find our own happiness.

他們看著我們為找尋幸福而掙扎著

How do we go from anxiety and depression to happy?

我們要如何遠離焦慮與抑鬱而邁向幸福 ?

the best predictor of whether a child becomes a satisfied adult

小孩是否會長成一位令人滿意的成人之最好指標

is through their emotional health in childhood.

So if I have this right, it should be easy.

所以如果這理論是對的，那應該是很簡單

Happy children,  happy adults, happy planet; yes.

快樂的小孩，快樂的大人以及快樂的星球，太棒了 !

This is the exact lesson I learned from my dad.

growing up in the big city of London, Ontario,

在加拿大安大略省的一個大城市倫敦長大

my dad would take my three sisters and I to his office.

我爸就會帶著我和我的三個姊妹一起到他的辦公室

You see my dad was a doctor and his office, a hospital.

我爸是一個醫生，而他的辦公室是在醫院

It was our job to stand around the beds of his patients

We started with the same song every time,

Now, this is probably a TEDx first, so join me if you know it.

陷在這說不定在 TEDx 是第一次，所以跟著我一起唱，如果你會的話

(Singing) We wish you a Merry Christmas; we wish you a Merry Christmas,

(唱歌) 我們祝你聖誕快樂;我們祝你聖誕快樂

we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

我們祝你聖誕快樂以及新年快樂

We did this every Christmas morning for years.

我們每年聖誕節早上都這樣做，持續了多年

And their smiles, their smiles would light up their hospital rooms.

而他們的笑容會點亮他們的病房

it made them happy, and it made me happy.

會使他們快樂，也會使自己快樂

that giving makes you happy and it's better to give than receive.

付出讓你快樂，付出比接受來得更好

Well, researchers from all over the world

have been studying the science and psychology of giving.

一直在研究付出的科學和心理學

that our brains and our bodies are actually hardwired for giving.

事實上，我們的大腦和我們的身體是出於本能地付出的

當我們付出，我們的腦內啡開始分泌

They've actually called it the "helper's high."

Our oxygen levels rise, this would be our love hormone.

氧氣濃度提高，而這將成為我們的愛的賀爾蒙

that have been looking for the Fountain of Youth,

it's our body's natural anti-aging remedy.

這是我們身體的天然抗衰老療法

And that feeling I got when I volunteer with my dad,

當我和我爸做志工時，我得到了那種感覺

that's serotonin, our body's happy transmitter.

那是血清素，我們身體的快樂傳遞者

Giving reduces anxiety and stress and it makes us happy.

付出減少焦慮及壓力並帶給我們快樂

you could be happy every day, and it's simple.

你可以每天都快樂，而且很簡單

In fact, it's so simple a three-year-old can do it.

事實上，這簡單到連一個三歲小孩都可以做到

Well, on my first son Nick's third birthday,

I decided I was going to teach him how he could be happy every day.

我決定我要教他要如何每天都快樂

I introduced the idea over a birthday cake and ice cream:

我在生日蛋糕及冰淇淋的存在下介紹了這個概念

"Nick, we are going to start this super-fun family project together.

「Nick 我們將要一起開始一個超級好玩的家庭計畫。」

We are going to give back to the world every day for one year."

「我們在一年的每一天都要回饋世界。」

Now I waited to see the excitement on his face -

然後我期待看到他臉上興奮的表情

and instead, he says, "Mommy, how many days are in a year?"

然而，他說，「媽媽，一年中有多少天呢 ? 」

Oh yeah, not exactly the response I was looking for,

I had to approach this daily giving idea a little differently.

我不得不提出一些不同的方式來教導付出的概念

Still, I got out some craft paper and a big box of crayons,

"Nick, we're going to do one thing to be kind, helpful, giving

「Nick 我們要來做一些友善、幫助人的事
