(Line12)本句中有三个排比句，其中后两个都使用了省略形式。译文译文在此后的几个世纪里，一些智者认为快乐源于高尚的人生，而另一些则认为快乐来自尽情享受；一些智者认为快乐源于认知真理，而另一些则认为快乐来自一直存有的幻想；一些智者认为快乐源于自律，而另一些则认为快乐在于摆脱愤怒和痛苦。分析

(Line19)译文Explodesome

myths这里的含义是“provethatsomethingthatmanypeoplebelieveisactuallywrongornottrue”即“推翻、戳穿错误的观念”。译文社会科学家通过努力寻求什么与人生的快乐和满足有关，推翻了一些关于哪些人快乐、哪些人不快乐的错误观念。Scientistswantedtoexplodethemythofamonsterlivinginthelake.科学家们想揭穿湖底有怪兽的荒诞说法。Example该书最后推翻了有关宇宙起源的一些错误观念。Thisbookfinallyexplodessomeofthemythsabouttheoriginoftheuniverse.译文Whentroubled,menmoreoftenbecomealcoholic,whilewomenmoreoftenthinkdeeplyandgetdepressedoranxious.

(line33)面临烦恼时，男人更喜欢借酒消愁，而女人则更容易陷于沉思，变得忧郁或焦虑。分析：该句带有省略的时间状语从句，while

在这里则表示转折和对比。WhileIunderstandyourviewpoint,Idon’tagreewithyou.虽然我了解你的见解，我还是不能同意你。Example我一个星期只赚50美元，她却能赚80美元．Iearnonly50dollarsaweek,whilesheearns80.译文在人生观和近期经历的影响下，我们的快乐程度会围绕一个固有值上下浮动．这个固有的快乐值使一些人笑口常开，而使另一些人愁肠百结．分析：该句包含一个which引导的非限制性定语从句，其先行词为前面整个句子。４Dependingonouroutlooksandrecentexperiences,ourhappinessfluctuatesaroundourhappinesssetpoint,whichdisposessomepeopletobeevercheerfulandothersgloomy.(line79)一部分道路被水淹了，这给我们的旅行带来不便。Someoftheroadswereflooded,whichmadeourjourneymoredifficult.他说他没有单车，其实他有。Hesaidhehadnobike,whichwasnottrue.Example译文５Althoughabadmarriagemaybemoredepressingtoawomanthantoaman,themyththatsinglewomenreportgreaterhappinessthanmarriedwomencanbeignored.

(Line101)尽管一个失败的婚姻可能使女性比男性更沮丧，但认为单身女性比已婚女性更快乐的说法是完全站不住脚的。分析：该句中由that引导的从句作themyth

的同位语。Thenewsthathewasresigninghispositionprovedtobeincorrect.Example关于主席会不会同意他的建议显然一点把握也没有。Obviouslytherewaslittlecertaintythatthechairmanwouldagreetothisproposal.他要辞职的消息最终证明是假的。译文６

Happinessdepends,asNatureshows,lessonexteriorthingsthanmostsuppose.

(Line106)正如现实所显示的，外部事物对快乐的影响比大多数人认为的要小得多。分析：该句包含一个比较结构less
