The craze has focused largely on the idea of making the ordinary special, or meaningful, through ritualising everyday activities such as making a cup of coffee or having dinner; that means putting technology to one side, and embracing simple practices such as lighting candles, purchasing flowers, or brewing real tea in china cups.

对这种生活方式的追求很大程度上是将煮咖啡、吃晚餐等日常活动变成一种惯例和仪式，将普通的事变得特殊或有意义。也就是说，把复杂的技艺放在一边，去做些简单的事，比如点蜡烛、买花，或是用瓷杯泡杯正宗的茶。

Of course, Denmark's use of 'hygge' is particularly useful in combating the country's harsh winters; with up to 17 hours of darkness a day potentially having deeply adverse effects on the mental health of its citizens.

当然，为了对抗严冬，丹麦人的hygge就尤其有用了：冬天，这个国家可是有接近17小时的黑夜，这很可能会对人们的心理健康造成极大的负面影响。

Susanne Nilsson, a Danish lecturer at London's Morley College, explained to the BBC; "We have long, cold winters in Denmark. That influences things. Hygge doesn't have to be a winter-only thing, but the weather isn't that good for much of the year."

伦敦莫利学院的丹麦讲师苏珊娜•尼尔森对BBC记者说：“丹麦的冬天又冷又长，所以对很多事有影响。Hygge不是冬天专有的现象，但是一年的很多时候天气都不怎么好。”
