How happy would you say you are on a scale of one to ten?

Nine of ten.
十有八九（即九成）。

Because school is fun and on weekends, I get to do fun stuff like going to shopping malls.
因为上学很有趣，而且周末我可以去做一些有趣的事情，比如去购物中心。
I would say generally I'm around an eight, but this is not everyday, okay?
我想说，总体给我的评分大概是八分；不过这种事情并不经常发生，好吗？
On average.
平均而言。
Interesting.
有意思。
Why do you say that?
你为什么这么说？
Um,
嗯，
I guess because I've learned to kind of see the silver linings, you know, like appreciate the small things every day,
我想是因为我已经学会了如何看到事情中的积极面，学会了珍惜日常生活中的那些小美好吧。
I wouldn't say all along I'm very happy person.
我不能说自己一直以来都是一个非常快乐的人。
