Aaron Antonovsky, whom I consider to be one of the fathers of positive psychology, if you remember, came up with the notion of "salutogenesis", an alternative to the pathogenic model- pathogenic model, the model that focuses on pathology, on sickness, on illness, where what Antonovsky said is we need to focus on the origins of health. Saluto- health; genesis- origin.
安东诺维斯基，我把他看作幸福心理学的奠基人之一。如果你记得，就会想起“健康本源学”，病理模型的替代，就是那个专门讲病理学和疾病的模型。安东诺维斯基说我们要关注的是健康的始源，Saluto是健康，genesis是本源。
And what he did specifically was the following.
他的具体做法如下。
So he was a sociologist and he said the following- he said: look, life is tough. People go through hardship. They go through difficulties whether we like it or not, we all in life encountered hardships. In relationship, in school, at work whatever, whichever domain, there are hardships, there are difficulties. Life is hard. Period. We know that.
他是个社会学家，他说：生活是艰苦的，人们都在艰苦奋斗，无论愿意与否，我们都会遇到困难。生活中，我们遇到各种困难，恋爱中、上学时、工作中都有困难与挫折的存在。总有时候生活是艰苦的，大家都知道。
However, there are some people who are able to better deal with the hardship, with the difficulties, who still, despite- they don't do away these hardships- despite these hardships and difficulties are still able to lead a full, fulfilling and overall, happy life.
然而，有些人对困难和挫折处理得更好，他们尽管不是没遇到这些困难，就算常遇到困难和挫折他们仍能过上充实、满足且幸福的生活。
Not the constant high- that's reserved for psychopaths and dead people.
不是指那种精神病患者或死人的那种永恒的快乐，
With the same ups and downs, but at a higher level of wellbeing, or of a lower level of anxiety.
而是有高低起伏，但是更高层次的幸福，或者说是一个焦虑水平比较低的生活。
