Consider something as basic as dinner. I used to really like going out to

eat. I thought it was fun. But over time, I found that taking our four children

out to dinner wasn’t always the most fun. Making dinner at home, especially on a

Friday or Saturday night when everybody was around and involved, now that was

awesome. We spent years going out to eat before we did this back-of-the-napkin

calculation based on what my friend had mentioned about the calculation of cost

per unit of fun.

就拿晚饭这么基本的事情来说吧。我过去确实很喜欢出去吃。我觉得这是一种乐趣。但是随着时间的推移，我发现，带着四个孩子出去吃饭并不会总那么开心。现在我发现，在家做晚饭才是很棒的事情，特别是星期五和星期六的晚上，大家可以欢聚一堂。很多年来，我们都是出去吃，如今有了朋友的这个“单位享乐成本”计算公式，我们可以草草计算一下。

I used to really like goingout to eat. I thought it was fun. But over time, I

found that taking our four children out to dinner wasn’t always the most fun.

Making dinner at home, especially on a Friday or Saturday night when everybody

was around and involved, now that was awesome.

Here’s how the formula works. You start by putting the total amount you

arespending in the numerator.Then, in the denominator,goes a guess of the

unitsof fun you get from the activity. Now, I realize that is totally subjective

because there is no standard unit of measurement for fun. But we’re not going to

let that get in the way. Just make a guess. In the end, the only measure of fun

that matters is your own, so your guess will work just fine. But to make it a

little easier, we are going to use a scale from one to 10, with one being the

leastfun and 10 being the most fun.

这个公式是这么算的。先拿你为某件事花的钱的总数当分子。然后再估算一下你从这个活动中得到多少个单位的乐趣，拿这个数字当分母。我知道这太主观了，能获得多少单位的乐趣没有统一的标准。但是别让这个妨碍你。就是估计一下。到头来，唯一能够衡量乐趣的标准还是你自己的感受，所以你自己估计一下就很好。如果要简单一点，你可以使用从1到10的分级，1代表最没乐趣，10代表乐趣最大。
