正在创建课程...
1
Emotional intelligence is the quality that enables us to confront with patience,
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.

影子跟读分步指南
针对视频长句多、逻辑密的特点，可按以下步骤练习：1. 逐句切割，每句播放3遍，用shadow speech方式模仿语调与节奏；2. 重点攻克抽象词汇（如emotional intelligence）的发音，结合上下文理解含义；3. 用shadowing site进行整段跟读，对比录音修正语速；4. 角色扮演，想象与他人讨论“情绪智力”，活用所学短语。坚持一周，可显著提升英语口语练习的流畅度，尤其适合雅思口语练习。 shadowspeaks等方法能帮助快速适应复杂句式，让影子跟读更高效。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | they've made · they've acquired · has been |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | be called · may be provoked · are crushed |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | those who are · those who know |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
