??while it’s not healthy to dwell on a bad
mood, sadness and anger have their perks. it’s
been 53 years since the smiley face—that bright yellow circle with the
schematic grin and black-dot eyes—first appeared. hundreds
of millions of “have a nice day” buttons, t-shirts, and coffee mugs later, it’s
as iconic as the red, white, and blue. (and why not? after all, the “pursuit of
happiness” is front and center in america’s declaration of independence.)??
?老想着坏心情不健康，但是伤心及生气有额外好处的。微笑的脸，亮黄色的圏圏，露齿而笑和黑点眼睛的示意图，首次亮相至今已经53年了。数百万计的“祝你有个美好的一天”按钮、圆领运动衫及之后的咖啡马克杯，这笑脸就像红、蓝、白三色一样具代表性(为什么不，毕竟追逐快乐在美国独立宣言中是非常重要的。?
in
the digital age, the smiley face morphed into the emoticons and emojis that pop
up everywhere. and with each advance—or, some might say, regression—in our
consumer culture, in which marketers hustle to fulfill desires we didn’t even
know we had, the blissed-out state of mr. smiley becomes ever more the holy
grail, the organizing principle of our existence.?
?在数字时代，笑脸渐变成情绪脸谱，到处出现。消费者文化中的每次进步或者有人也许认为是退化，营销人员奔忙地满足我们不知道我们所拥有的渴望。笑脸先生的幸福状态比圣杯还多，是我们存在的组织原则。?
?wait
a minute. isn’t happiness why we’re here? isn’t happiness good for us? given a
choice, we’d probably prefer to be slaphappy all the time, and there are
advantages to that pleasurable state. more “positive” emotion is linked to a
lower risk of various psychological illnesses, including depression,
anxiety, and borderline personality disorder.?
?等一下，快乐不就我们在此的原因吗？快乐不是对我们是好的吗？假如有选择，我们可能较倾向总是无忧无虑的，这种愉悦状态是有好处的。较多正面的情绪和较低的各种心理疾病疯险有闗系，包含忧郁、焦虑及边缘型人格违常。?
positive emotions also drive us to success,
help us make better decisions, reduce
the risk of disease and allow us to live longer. in some cases, they even help broaden how we
think and act by directing our attention to new information and opportunities.
they help build vital social, physical and cognitive resources that lead to
positive outcomes and affiliations.?
?正面情绪也会驱动我们成功，帮助我们做出较佳的决定、减少疾病的风险、并允许我们活得更久。在某些情况，正面情绪甚至藉着引导我们的注意力到新信息及机会来帮助我们开扩我们的想法及行为，帮助建立充满活力的社交、生理及认知的资源，导致正面结果及联系。?
i’m not saying it’s better to go
around in a funk all the time. but i hope to get you to keep the pursuit of
happiness in perspective, and to see your “negative” emotions in a new and more
accepting light. in fact, i strongly submit that describing them as “negative”
only perpetuates the myth that these useful feelings are, you know, negative.?
?我并不是说最好都是去满足惊恐的需求，但是我希望你以正确的比例去追求快乐，并且以新的且较能接受的见解来看待你的负面情绪。事实上，我强烈认为，把惊恐形
容为负面的只会让这些有用的感觉是负面的迷思永久存在。?
