世界幸福指數出爐！丹麥最幸福中國排83

Every year, the World Happiness Index surveys numerous people from various countries around the world in search of, as the name implies, which country has the happiest population. This year’s winner is Denmark, followed closely by Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. The US ranked 13th.
每年，世界幸福指數都會對世界各個國家的人們進行調查，顧名思義，也就是調查哪個國家的人過的最幸福。今年丹麥登頂，其次是瑞士，冰島和挪威。而美國排第13位。

So how do the researchers come up with this list? The process is actually rather simple, as the Index's website explains: "The rankings are based on answers to the main life evaluation question asked. This is called the Cantril ladder: it asks respondents to think of a ladder, with the best possible life for them being a 10, and the worst possible life being a 0. They are then asked to rate their own current lives on that 0 to 10 scale."
那麼調研者的這張清單是如何出爐的呢？事實上，過程非常簡單，有關官網是這樣解釋的：“排名是根據問卷中有關於主要生活質量評估的答案而得出的。這個原理叫做“坎特里爾梯子”：調查者會被要求想象一個階梯，最好的生活是10，最壞的生活是0，然後從1到10 參照自己的生活現狀進行評分。

In short, the researchers straight-up asked people to rank their own happiness. These answers are then weighted based on six other factors: levels of GDP, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and corruption.
簡言之，調研者真是的要求參與者對自己的幸福進行評分。然後他們的回答會根據6個因素進行權衡：國內生產總值、壽命、慷慨度、社會支持、自由度以及貪污腐敗現象。

As mentioned, Denmark leads the pack with Switzerland (last year’s winner), Iceland, Norway, Finland, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, and Sweden rounding out the top 10. The US ranks 13th, Germany 16th, and the UK 23rd.
如上面提到的，丹麥引領瑞士（去年的冠軍）、冰島、挪威、芬蘭、加拿大、荷蘭、新西蘭、澳大利亞、瑞典包攬了前十。美國排名第13位，德國排名第16，英國排名23。

The unhappiest countries are Afghanistan at 154th followed by Togo and Syria. Burundi comes in last at 157th.
而最不幸福的國家是阿富汗，排名154，其次是多哥和敘利亞。布隆迪排名最後，157名。
注：報告太長，爲大家高亮中國的排名是83，得分5.245。
