Question

【題目】 According to the world Happiness Report , people who live in Denmark（丹麥）are the happiest in the world . Why ? Because they know the secret to happiness－“hygge”. But what is “hygge” ?

The Danish （丹麥）word “hygge”（pronounced“hoo-ga”）is often translated in English as “coziness”. But coziness paints only part of the picture . It’s also about spending peaceful time in a quiet environment with no calendar . It’s about spending time alone or spending time with family.

Danish people are very good at “hygge” . For example , they create a “hygge” environment by burning candles in classrooms , kitchens , bedrooms , etc . According to some reports , Danish people burn more candles every year than people from any other European country .

However , “hygge” isn’t just about creating a nice and warm environment ; it is best enjoyed with family members and friends . With up to 17 hours of darkness every day in winter , Danish people spend more time indoors as a result , and they often get together for a meal or hot drinks , without the distraction （使人分心的事物）of technology or the stress of daily life .

Still can’t understand what “hygge” is ? If you’re reading this in a comfortable chair , with a few candles around you , that sense of coziness you’re feeling might just be “hygge”.
