男人对自身长相更满意 生活幸福感更高

Eating a better diet, a job that is more satisfying and finally shaking a long term injury or illness all featured in the top 10 wishes for a brighter outlook.
吃得好一点儿、有一份更让人满意的工作、摆脱长期伤痛和疾病的困扰，这些都在拥有更美好前景的前10个愿望中。

While more reassurance from the boss, time with the kids and even their favourite sports team performing better featured in the list.
另外，从老板那里得到更多的肯定、和孩子有更多的相处时间、最喜欢的足球队表现得更好这些也都在出现在这份清单里。

A fairly patient one third of people studied would be more optimistic in life if their partner showed them more commitment.
研究表明，如果人们能得到伴侣更多的承诺和保证，那么会有三分之一的人在生活中会更加乐观。

And, perhaps contrary to popular belief, getting hitched seems to do wonders for a brighter perspective on life with married people rating significantly happier than singles in almost all categories.
研究还发现人们婚后就像是有奇迹发生，生活更加美好，这可能与普遍观念相反。已婚人士在各个方面都明显比单身人士幸福。

When looking forwards the study was split 50/50 between those who thought they had good reason to be positive and those searching for reasons to be optimistic about their life.
当展望未来时，一半的人认为他们有充分的理由会变得积极，还有一半的人需要去寻找理由来变得乐观。

However, there was a clear trend towards happiness growing with age - over 55s proved the most likely to rate themselves as an eternal optimist. Interestingly, the younger generation seemed less upbeat overall and were most likely to say their outlook has become gloomier in recent times.
然而，随着年龄的增长，幸福感有明显增长的趋势——55岁以上的人更有可能说自己是个永久的乐观主义者。有趣的是，从整体上来说，年轻的一代看起来并不那么乐观，更可能说他们的前景最近会比较黯淡。

This trend rises directly with age, with the under 25s most likely to say their perspective on life has become more negative and the over 55s least likely to feel their optimism has declined.
这种趋势会直接随着年龄而增长，25岁以下的人更可能说他们对生活的前景比较失望，而55岁以上的人很少会认为自己的乐观感会降低。
