It is a fair, even-handed, noble adjustment of things, that while there is infection in disease and sorrow, there is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good-humour.
这世界有一种公平、公正而高尚的安排:疾病和悲伤虽然会传染,但没有什么能像欢笑与好心情那样,具有令人无法抗拒的感染力。
— Charles Dickens · A Christmas Carol (1843) —
