為什麼說「Ignorance is Bliss（傻人有傻福）」？

Ignorance意思是「無知」，bliss意思是「極樂」，Ignorance is Bliss便是「無知便是福, 傻人有傻福」的意思。

為什麼說Ignorance is Bliss（無知便是福） 呢？

Having a knowledge is a good thing, but this expression seems to go against that idea.

有知識是一件好事，但這個表達似乎與這個想法背道而馳。

我們先看看對話吧：

對話：

A: Okay, Jonathan, today, I am not watching or reading any news the whole day,you know what they say, ignorance is bliss.

A: 好吧，喬納森，今天一整天我都沒看新聞，也沒讀新聞，你知道人們常說，無知是福。

B：I hear you are, Anna. But it is important to stay informed.

B: 我明白你的意思，安娜。但是保持信息靈通是很重要的。

總結：

Bliss is a state of happiness, ignorance is the state of not knowing something.

極樂是一種幸福的狀態，無知是一種不知道某事的狀態。

In some situation, you maybe happier not knowing everything.

在某些情況下，你可能更喜歡什麼都不知道。

In that case, you might say ignorance is bliss.

在這種情況下，你可以說無知是福。

舉例：
