美國十大悲傷城市 三座來自“陽光州”

It might be bathed in glorious sunshine throughout the year - but new research has revealed the Floridian city of St Petersburg is the saddest place to live in the US.

Having a Guinness World Record for 768 straight days of sunshine did nothing for the state's fourth largest city - deemed to be a hotbed for suicides and anti-depressant pill poppers.

The unemployment hotspot of Detroit, Michigan, unsurprisingly followed close behind, with third place in the "Frown Town" stakes going to Memphis, Tennessee.

Three of the saddest 10 cities hailed from the "Sunshine State".

In contrast, Honolulu, Hawaii - the birth place of US President Barack Obama - is the happiest place to live.

Manchester, New Hampshire, was the second best place to reside, with Fargo, North Dakota, in third.據英國《每日郵報》12月2日報道，美國佛羅里達州聖彼得斯堡市幾乎全年都沐浴在燦爛的陽光下——但是一項新的研究表明，它是全美最悲傷的城市。

聖彼得斯堡市曾因連續768天陽光直射而入選吉尼斯世界紀錄，但對於這座佛羅里達州第四大城市來說這並沒有什麼助益——這裏被視爲自殺者和抗抑鬱藥品成癮者的溫牀。

底特律和密歇根因爲失業率熱點問題不出所料地緊隨其後，並列第二，而排在“不幸城鎮”第三位的則是孟菲斯和田納西。

十大悲傷城市中有三個都來自“陽光州”（即佛羅里達）。

相較之下，夏威夷檀香山——美國總統奧巴馬出生的地方——則是美國幸福感最強的居住地。

曼徹斯特和新罕布什爾州是最宜居城市的第二位，法戈和北達科他州則名列第三。
