1
Emotional intelligence is the quality that enables us to confront with patience,
感情的知性とは、私たちが忍耐力を持って立ち向かえるようにしてくれる資質である。
2
insight and imagination the many problems that we face in our affective relationship with ourselves and with other people.
3
The term emotional intelligence may sound odd.
4
We're used to referring to intelligence just as a general quality, without unpicking a particular variety a person might possess.
5
and therefore we don't tend to highlight the value of a distinctive sort of intelligence
6
which currently does not enjoy the prestige it should.
7
Every sort of intelligence signals an ability to navigate well around a particular set of challenges mathematical, linguistic, technical, commercial.
8
When we say that someone is clever but add that they've made a mess of their personal lives
9
or that they've acquired a fortune but are restless and sad, or that they are powerful but intolerant and unimaginative,
10
we're pointing to a deficit in what deserves to be called emotional intelligence.
11
In social life, we can feel the presence of emotional intelligence in a sensitivity to the moods of others,
12
and in a readiness to grasp the surprising things that may be going on for other people beneath the surface.
13
Emotional intelligence recognizes a role for interpretation and knows that,
14
for example, a fiery outburst might be a disguised plea for help, or that a long political rant may be provoked by hunger,
15
or that concealed within a forceful jolliness may be a sorrow that has been sentimentally disavowed.
16
In relation to ourselves, emotional intelligence shows up in a scepticism around our emotions, especially those of love, desire,
17
anger, envy, anxiety and professional ambition.
18
The emotionally intelligent refuse to just trust their first impulses or the inherent wisdom of their feelings.
19
They know that hatred may mask love, that anger may be a cover for sadness and
20
that we are prone to huge and costly inaccuracies around whom we desire and what we really want.
21
Emotional intelligence is also what distinguishes those who are crushed by
22
failure from those who know how to greet the troubles of existence with a melancholy and, at points, darkly humorous resilience.
23
The emotionally intelligent appreciate the role of well-handled pessimism within the overall economy of a good life.
24
intelligence isn't an inborn talent.
25
It's always the result of education.
26
Specifically, education in how to interpret ourselves, in where our emotions arise from, in how our childhoods influence us,
27
and in how we might best navigate our fears and our wishes.
28
In the ideal society, it would be routine to be taught emotional intelligence from the youngest age, before we'd had the opportunity to make too many mistakes.
29
It's because we have, until now, not taken emotional education seriously enough that our species has grown ever more technically adept
30
while retaining the level of wisdom of our earliest days with catastrophic results.
31
We are now evolved monkeys with nuclear weapons.
32
It appears that the fate of civilization depends on our capacity to master the mechanisms of emotional education before it's too late.
33
An emotional education means something far beyond just normal education as we've conceived of it to date.
34
Though it should ideally include courses in every year of school or college, emotional education is more than something that should just take place in classrooms, at the hands of teachers,
35
and come to a halt around the age of 21.
36
One, the central vehicle for the transfer of emotional intelligence is culture, from its highest to its most popular level.
37
Culture is the field that can ritualize and consistently promote the absorption of emotional intelligence.
38
The lessons might be embedded in a tragedy or a TV series, a pop song or a novel, a work of architecture or a YouTube film.
39
We can envisage the entire apparatus of culture as a subtle mechanism designed to point us towards greater emotional intelligence.
40
We will never progress as a species, and will indeed grow into ever greater, technologically armed menaces to ourselves,
41
until we've accepted the challenges and opportunities of properly educating ourselves in emotional intelligence.
42
Our technical intelligence is great of course.
43
It's led us to tame nature and conquer this planet.
44
But a wiser, saner future for the human race must depend on a capacity to master
45
and then seductively teach one another the rudiments of emotional intelligence while there is still time.
46
Thank you.

このクリップが優れたスピーキング教材になる理由

YouTubeで英語学習をする際、この動画は特に優れた教材です。感情的知性についての説明が緩急のある口調で話され、日常的な会話に近いリズムが特徴です。発音も明瞭でありながら自然な抑揚があり、「shadowspeak」(シャドースピーク)の練習に最適です。また、抽象的な概念を具体的な例で説明する表現が多く、英語の思考力向上にもつながります。

自然な表現の秘密を解き明かす

動画の中にはいくつか自然な表現があります。例えば、「Emotional intelligence is the quality that enables us to confront with patience...」は、「~を可能にする資質」という構造で、形容詞句が名詞を修飾する典型的な英語の文です。このような長い修飾語を使うことで、情報量が増えながらも流れがスムーズです。もう一つ、「We're used to referring to intelligence just as a general quality...」は「~に慣れている」という「be used to」の使い方が自然で、日常会話でよく見られます。さらに、「a fiery outburst might be a disguised plea for help」は「激しい発作は隠された助けを求める嘆願かもしれない」という比喩的な表現で、英語の柔軟性を感じさせます。これらの文は、文法的に正しいだけでなく、ネイティブの思考パターンを反映しています。

効果的な練習法:シャドースピークのルーティン

英語の発音を良くするためには、「shadow speak」(シャドースピーク)の練習が不可欠です。この動画を使った練習法は次の通りです。まず、動画を10秒ほど再生して止め、その直後に同じ内容を真似て発音します。このとき、抑揚やリズム、ポーズも注意深く観察します。録音機能を使って自分の発音を録り、動画の音声と比較して違いを見つけます。これを繰り返すことで、ネイティブの発音に近づけることができます。1日10分、週に3回以上続けると、発音だけでなくリスニング力も向上します。YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、このような方法で効率的にスキルを磨きましょう。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
