That depends on a lot of things, but for most people it isn’t.

这取决于很多因素，但对大多数人来说并非如此。

Certainly for the low and middle incomes life is better in Europe. Only for the high incomes life is better in the USA.

当然，中低收入者在欧洲会生活的更好。在美国，只有高收入的生活才更好。

Life in Europe isn’t great when your goal is to become rich. Certainly it’s possible to build up a good life, but keep in mind European countries tax the hell out of the high incomes. That’s why rich people in Europe are not as rich as rich people in the USA. They can still be rich, but everything is relative.

当你的目标是致富时，欧洲的生活并不美好。当然，过上好日子也是有可能的，但请记住，欧洲国家对高收入人群征收重税。这就是为什么欧洲的富人没有美国的富人那么富有。他们仍然可以富有，但一切都是相对的。

But when you just want to get by, live a normal average life, you’re way better off in Europe. The lower and middle class incomes are higher in Europe than they are in the USA. Job security is better in Europe, as well as financial support for those who aren’t able to work.

但是如果你只是想过正常的生活，你在欧洲会过得更好。欧洲的低收入和中产阶级的收入比美国高。欧洲的工作保障更好，对于那些没有工作能力的人也有财政支持。

One important factor is healthcare insurance, which is much cheaper in Europe than it is in the USA with usually better coverage. Each European country does this in it’s own way, either tax-funded government-based insurance or regulated market insurance. For Americans healthcare insurance takes up a good part of their income, in Europe that part is much smaller. And there is nothing wrong with the quality of healthcare in Europe.

一个重要的因素是医疗保险，在欧洲，医疗保险比在美国便宜得多，而且通常覆盖面更广。每个欧洲国家都以自己的方式做到这一点，要么是税收资助的政府基础保险，要么是受监管的市场保险。对美国人来说，医疗保险占据了他们收入的很大一部分，而在欧洲，这一部分要少得多。欧洲的医疗保健质量也很高。

So what’s your goal in life? Will you take your chances on becoming rich, with the possibility that you fail and end up in poverty? Then by all means stay in America. Or do you want a stable life without having to worry about the future. Not rich, but not poor either. Then Europe is the place for you.

那么你的人生目标是什么呢？你是否愿意冒着失败并最终陷入贫困的可能性而变得富有？那就一定要留在美国。或者你想要一个稳定的生活而不用担心未来，不富裕，但也不贫穷，那么欧洲就是你的归宿。

Life in the USA has become hard especially under Trump. People need to hold 2/3 jobs to survive. Universities have highest tuition rates in world and finally we have our disastrous healthcare system where we are left paying thousands. In that respect life in Europe is easier, plus people in Europe not motivated by greed and have a certain Joie de vivre.

美国的生活变得艰难，特别是在特朗普的领导下。人们需要做2/3的工作才能生存。大学的学费是世界上最高的，最后我们还有糟糕的医疗保健系统，我们还要支付数千美元。在这方面，欧洲人的生活要容易得多，而且欧洲人并不贪婪，他们有一定的生活乐趣。

Is living in the USA better than in Europe?

在美国生活比在欧洲好吗？

For most Americans the US is better. For most Europeans it is Europe. Depends what you used to and what you expect.

对大多数美国人来说，美国更好。对于大多数欧洲人来说，欧洲才是最重要的。这取决于你过去习惯了什么和你期望什么。

There are pros and cons to each. It really depends on the individual.

这两个地方都有利有弊，这取决于个人。
