【劲词天天学】 如何衡量一个人的智慧?除了智商、情商外,近年来又流行一个新概念:逆商(AQ)。 智商(IQ)——Intelligence Quotient的缩写,意为智力商数,简称智商。它是测量个体智力发展水平的一种指标。 情商(EQ)——Emotional Quotient的缩写, 又称情绪智力,是近年来心理学家们提出的与智力和智商相对应的概念。它指管理自己的情绪和处理人际关系的能力。 逆商(AQ)——Adversity Quotient是我们在面对逆境时的处理能力。一个人AQ愈高,愈能以弹性面对逆境,积极乐观,接受困难的挑战,发挥创意找出解决方案,因此能不屈不挠,愈挫愈勇,而终究表现卓越。心理专家表示,继智商(IQ)、情商(EQ)后,逆商(AQ)已成为新一代职场热门词汇。 今天,我们就来学学有关这些“商”的英语: 1. Tom has got a doctorate degree. To tell the truth, he has a high IQ but a low EQ. 2. An IQ score should not be treated as the only stagnant representation of the intellectual quality of a person. IQ分数不应该作为描述个体智力品质的唯一表述。 3. For businesses,a high-AQ workforce translates to increased capacity, productivity, and innovation, as well as higher morale. 在商业领域,高逆商的团队通常智能水平更高、生产力更强、更富有创造力,团队也更有士气。 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Today Topic: Wise Biology Teacher 有智慧的生物老师
"I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this semester. I know you've all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to college after summer. So that no one fails, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the course. ” There was much rejoicing in the class as students got up, walked to the front of the class, and took the professor up on his offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, "Anyone else? This is your last chance." One final student rose up and opted out of the final. The professor closed the door and took attendance of those still remaining. "I'm glad to see you believe in yourselves," he said. "You all get 'A's." Let's go through some words and phrases: Biology: The study of life and living things 生物 Hand out: To give out 发放 Extremely: Very 非常 Opt: To choose 选择 Rejoicing: To be full of happiness 欣喜,高兴 Handful: Only a few 少数 Remain: Not go away / stay 剩下的,留下的 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 【营养英语】一分钟智慧

The Master once asked his disciples which was more important: wisdom or action. The disciples were unanimous: "Action, of course. Of what use is wisdom that does not show itself in action"? Said the Master, "And of what use is action that proceeds from an unenlightened heart"? The heart is wiser than the intellect. -- Josiah Holland (1819-1881) 一次,大师问徒弟们,智慧和行为,那一个更重要。 箴言: 2. The Master sat in rapt attention as the renowned economist explained his blueprint for development. "Should growth be the only consideration in an economic theory"? he asked. "Yes. All growth is good in itself". "Isn't that the thinking of the cancer cell"? said the Master.

3. Before the visitor embarked upon discipleship, he wanted assurance from the Master. The visitor walked away in scorn. The disciples were dismayed that their Master had been shown up in a poor light. Said the Master soothingly, "Of what is it to comprehend life's nature and life's meaning if you have never tasted it? I'd rather you ate your pudding than speculated on it". Life is a romantic business. It is painting a picture, not doing a sum -- but you have to make the romance, and it will come to the question how much fire you have in your belly. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. 一个访客在准备作弟子之前,他想要确保能从大师那学到什么。 箴言:
4. "Why are you so wary of thought"? said the philosopher. Thought is the one tool we have for organizing the world". "True. But thought can organize the world so well that you are no longer able to see it". To his disciples he later said, "A thought is a screen, not a mirror; that is why you live in a thought envelope, untouched by Reality". We understand why children are afraid of darkness, but why are men afraid of light? -- Plato 哲学家问:“为什么你对思想这样谨慎提防?思想不过是我们塑造世界的一件工具。” 箴言:
5.To a visitor who described himself as a seeker after Truth the Master said, "If what you seek is Truth, there is one thing you must have above all else". "I know. An overwhelming passion for it". "No. An unremitting readiness to admit you may be wrong".
大师对一位自称寻求真理的拜访者说:“如果你是所要追求的是真理,那有一样东西你首先要具备。” 箴言: |
