Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence__1__firm’s work, too.
快乐的人工作方式不同。 他们更有生产力，更有创造力，愿意承担更大的风险。 新的研究表明，幸福感也可能影响一家公司的工作。
Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.2, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking__3__for making investments for the future.
根据最近的一份研究报告，那些位于人们更快乐地区的公司投资更多。2、快乐地区的公司在研发(研发)上投入更多。 这是因为幸福与对未来的长远投资有关。
The researchers wanted to know if the__4__and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would__5__the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’ average happiness__6__by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
研究人员想知道，伴随幸福而来的冒险倾向是否会影响公司的投资方式。 因此，他们将美国城市的平均幸福指数与这些地区上市公司的投资活动进行了比较。
7__enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were__8.But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities__9__why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various__10__that might make firms more likely to invest – like size, industry, and sales – and for indicators that a place was__11__to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally__12__even after accounting for these things.
研究结果表明，企业的投资和研发强度与其所在地区的幸福感有关。 但是，这真的是与投资有关的幸福吗? 或者，是否还有其他与幸福城市有关的因素导致那里的公司在研发上花费更多？ 为了找到答案，研究人员控制了10个可能会使公司更有可能投资的指标，如规模、行业和销售额，以及一个地方的居住指标，如工资或人口增长。 幸福和投资之间的联系通常即使在考虑到这些因素之后也是如此。
The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors__13__to “less codified decision making process” and the possible presence of “younger and less__14__managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.” The relationship was__15__stronger in places where happiness was spread more__16__.Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality.
幸福感和投资之间的相关性对于年轻的公司来说尤其强烈，作者认为年轻的公司“决策过程不那么规范” ，而且可能存在“更年轻、更少受情绪影响的经理人” 在幸福分布更广的地方，这种关系要强15倍。 公司似乎更多地投资于大多数人相对幸福的地方，而不是那些幸福不平等的地方。
17 this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least__18__at that possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help__19__how executives think about the future. “It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and__20__R&D more than the average,” said one researcher.

这并不能证明幸福感会导致企业增加投资或者采取更长远的眼光，作者认为这种可能性至少是18% 。 不难想象，当地的文化和情绪会帮助19位高管如何思考未来。 一位研究人员表示: “快乐的人会更具前瞻性和创造性，比普通人多进行20次研发，这种说法似乎肯定是合理的。”。
