In Paris, pleasure boats ply the Seine River as people stroll along its banks on a summer day. The French have six weeks of vacation, free universities, top-notch public transport and arguably the world's best health care system. So who could be unhappy here? Yet in poll after poll, the French rank as some of the biggest malcontents in the Western world. 夏日，巴黎塞纳河上游船穿梭，河畔行人如织。法国人拥有六周的假期，免费的大学，一流的公共交通和无可争议的世界上顶尖的医疗系统。在这样的国度还能有谁不幸福呢？但是民意调查却表明，西方国家中，法国对现状不满的人民最多。 Parisian Bruno Fontaine is relaxing by the edge of the river. He says his countrymen don't realize how good they have it. But as world travelers, he says he and his wife do. 巴黎人布鲁诺·方丹正在河畔小憩。他说法国国人意识不到他们拥有着多好的生活，但是像他和他妻子环游世界过后，就能感觉到这点。 "Every time we come back to France and to Paris we can really enjoy how nice our country is," he says. Fontaine says in Paris, there is an incredible range of cultural opportunities, the food is incredible and life is amazingly fulfilling. "I can't imagine living in any other big city." “每次我们回到法国，回到巴黎之后，就能感觉到这里的生活真的是很惬意。”方丹说在巴黎，你有机会去接触不同层面的文化，食物又美味，生活真是想不到的充实。“我想象不到其他任何一个像巴黎一样的大都市。” |
