人际关系很重要。

　　“At 56, for people who put energy into families, there was a big payback,” said Michael Apted.

　　导演迈克尔·艾普特说，“56岁的时候，那些为家庭尽心尽力的人，都得到了很大的回报。”

　　Again and again, the “Up” series reveals how critical friends, family, and social connections are to an individual’s success and happiness in life. For both men and women, caring for others invested their lives with a meaning that they weren’t able to find in any other activity.

　　《人生七年》曾多次证实了友情、亲情、社会关系对于一个人成功和拥有幸福生活的重要影响。无论是男人还是女人，爱给他们人生带来的意义、是其他任何活动都无法得到的。

　　4. Money also matters—but only up to a point.

　　钱很重要，但只是在某种层面上重要。

　　The series originally set out to examine the long-term impact of social class on happiness and life chances. And it does, in fact, show that money matters. But the research also shows that once we secure food, shelter, and a minimum level of comfort, happiness springs from life meaning and relationships much more than money.

　　纪录片的初衷是想验证英国社会阶级对人生幸福和机遇的影响。事实上，它的确验证了金钱的重要性。但它也表明，一旦我们能够满足食物、住所、基本的舒适感，幸福的源泉更多来自于人生意义、人际关系，而非金钱。
