老外在中国：你听过快乐宝宝歌吗？

这个歌很管用。视频中所有宝宝听到这首歌时都开始大笑。

I hope they are working on a "Happy Old Man" song next.

我希望接下来有作曲家能写一首《快乐老头歌》。

Bhutan, the tiny Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayans, included the goal of enhancing "Gross National Happiness" in its 2008 constitution. Amazingly, the country's legal code of 1729 states "if the government cannot create happiness for its people, there is no purpose for the government to exist. Famously, the US Declaration of Independence says the reason governments exist is to secure the rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The similar Chinese concept of "harmony" goes all the way back to Confucius.

不丹坐落于喜马拉雅山脚下，是一个很小的佛教王国。该国将提高“国民幸福指数”的目标写入2008年的《宪法》。令人不可思议的是，1729年的不丹的法律就规定，“如果政府不能为人民创造幸福，那么就失去了存在的价值。”美国《独立宣言》有句著名的话：政府存在的原因就是要保障人们“生存、自由和追求幸福”的权利。而中国也有相似的概念，孔子时期就曾提出“和谐”。

Unfortunately, GDP, which is the main metric of success for all countries, except Bhutan, has very little to do with happiness. It's just a measure of the "goods and services" produced by the country.
