These good practices can inspire other countries so that measuring and accounting for broader well-being, and not simply national income, becomes a universal practice. 许多国家已不再停留于空谈生活质量，而是开始采取切实可行的措施，在立法和政策制定过程中推行这两个概念。这些好的做法可激励其他国家行动起来，从而使衡量和计算广义的福祉(不仅仅是国民收入)成为全世界普遍的做法。 双语托福阅读段三 Happiness may have different meanings for different people.

These are the foundations for human happiness and well-being. 现在，应将这一承诺化为消除贫穷、促进社会包容和文化间和谐、确保体面生计、保护环境以及建设善治机构的具体国际和国家行
