但世界上最幸福的地方在哪里呢？

A new map of 151 countries has revealed exactly which parts of the globe deliver long and happy lives for their citizens, within the environmental limits of the planet.

在全球环境限制下,151国新地图出炉,揭密世界上哪个地区的居民最幸福长寿.

And the results may surprise you, with Costa Rica, Colombia and Vietnam topping the league. The UK features at position 44 - higher than Germany (47), Spain (62), Canada (65), Australia (76) and the US (105).

结论可能会让你大吃一惊,哥斯达黎加、哥伦比亚和越南名列前三.英国排名第44,比排名第47的德国、排名第62的西班牙、排名第65的加拿大、排名第76的澳大利亚和排名105的美国都要靠前.

The map was compiled by the relocation website Movehub, using data from the latest Happy Planet Index (HPI) - a global measure of sustainable wellbeing.

搬家网站Movehub收集最新的幸福星球指数（Happy Planet Index,HPI）——一项全球的可持续幸福标准,编写发布了该地图.

The HPI claims it 'measures what matters', rather than wealth: the extent to which countries deliver long, happy, sustainable lives for the people that live in them.

幸福星球指数注重的是一定程度上哪个国家能为其居民提供幸福长寿的生活,而不是哪个国家最为富有.

Each of the three component measures – life expectancy, the level of well-being experienced and ecological footprint – is given a traffic-light score based on thresholds for good (green), middling (amber) and bad (red) performance.

三个构成部分——预期寿命,幸福体验值和生态足迹,决定了红绿灯式的分数临界值,数据显示好的为绿色,中等的为琥珀色,差的为红色.

These scores are combined to an expanded six-colour traffic light for the overall HPI score, where, to achieve bright green – the best of the six colours, a country would have to perform well on all three individual components.

这些分数将整体的幸福星球指数由三色扩大到六色交通灯.为了达到六色中最亮的绿色,一个国家必须在所有的三个构成部分都表现上佳.

In order to compile the data, researchers directly asked people in each country for their views.
