Reader's Digest 7月号の記事 "It's a WIN-WIN" からの引用です。
Finding pleasure in another person's good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, a term (inspired by freude, the German word for "joy") that describes the bliss we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn't directly involve us.
"freudenfreude" の意味は引用文に書かれている通りですが、過去に2度(10/18/2017と2/23/2007)取り上げた、"freudenfreude" とは反対の意味の単語 "schadenfreude" を思い出しました。
