The secret to Dutch children’s happiness 荷蘭兒童感到快樂的秘密
文字稿? This is where you'll find some of the world’s most beautiful and rare species of birds. Mabamba swamp on the shores of Lake Victoria, is gaining a reputation as a top bird-watching spot. Uganda has over one thousand species of birds - that's more than the United States and Europe combined. The question is how to make money from this resource. One way is getting more bird-watchers and tourists here. And the numbers are slowly growing. Uganda is trying to position itself as a wholesome and safe destination.
你會在這里找到世上最美麗稀有的一些鳥類。位于烏干達維多利亞湖岸的瑪巴姆巴濕地作為觀鳥勝地之一正逐漸樹起聲望。烏干達共有一千多種鳥類，其數量多于美國和歐洲的鳥類物種之和。該國目前面臨的問題是如何憑借這一自然資源營利。一種方法是吸引更多觀鳥者和旅客前來游覽，游客的數量正緩步增長。烏干達正在努力塑造有益身心健康且安全的景點形象。
Children in the Netherlands consistently rank among the happiest in the world, according to surveys by UN children's fund, Unicef. Chocolate sprinkles clearly contradict the healthy eating advice. And yet, Dutch kids have some of the lowest obesity rates. This may be linked to the fact that so many cycle to school. Bikes and cars have separate lanes. And when they get to school, Dutch pupils don't face academic pressure - things like tests and homework - until much later. Could this be the secret for happiness? Well, a happy child could grow into a happy adult.
聯合國兒童基金會（Unicef）發布的一系列調查結果表明，在世界最快樂兒童所在國家的排名中荷蘭持續名列前茅。雖然巧克力碎屑和人們所提倡的健康飲食理念截然相反，但和其它國家相比，荷蘭兒童的肥胖率仍非常低。該現象的原因可能與很多孩子騎車上學的事實相關。在荷蘭，自行車和機動車設有單獨的車道。在學校，荷蘭的小學生并沒有類似考試和家庭作業等學習壓力，要到很久以后，他們才需要面對這些問題。這是否就是快樂的秘密呢？畢竟人們總說，快樂的孩子才更有可能長成快樂的成人。
