【勁詞天天學(xué)】
如何衡量一個人的智慧？除了智商、情商外，近年來又流行一個新概念：逆商（AQ）。
IQ、EQ、AQ并稱3Q，成為人們獲取成功必備的法寶。
智商（IQ）——Intelligence Quotient的縮寫，意為智力商數(shù)，簡稱智商。它是測量個體智力發(fā)展水平的一種指標(biāo)。
情商（EQ）——Emotional Quotient的縮寫， 又稱情緒智力，是近年來心理學(xué)家們提出的與智力和智商相對應(yīng)的概念。它指管理自己的情緒和處理人際關(guān)系的能力。
逆商（AQ）——Adversity Quotient是我們在面對逆境時的處理能力。一個人AQ愈高，愈能以彈性面對逆境，積極樂觀，接受困難的挑戰(zhàn)，發(fā)揮創(chuàng)意找出解決方案，因此能不屈不撓，愈挫愈勇，而終究表現(xiàn)卓越。心理專家表示，繼智商（IQ）、情商（EQ）后，逆商(AQ)已成為新一代職場熱門詞匯。
今天，我們就來學(xué)學(xué)有關(guān)這些“商”的英語：
1. Tom has got a doctorate degree. To tell the truth, he has a high IQ but a low EQ.
湯姆已經(jīng)獲得了博士學(xué)位。說實話，他智商很高，但是情商很低。
2. An IQ score should not be treated as the only stagnant representation of the intellectual quality of a person.
IQ分?jǐn)?shù)不應(yīng)該作為描述個體智力品質(zhì)的唯一表述。
3. For businesses,a high-AQ workforce translates to increased capacity, productivity, and innovation, as well as higher morale.
在商業(yè)領(lǐng)域，高逆商的團隊通常智能水平更高、生產(chǎn)力更強、更富有創(chuàng)造力，團隊也更有士氣。

Today Topic: Wise Biology Teacher 有智慧的生物老師
Today Vocabulary: semester 學(xué)期
Today Host: Alex (韋博上海南方中心外教）
A teacher stood before his class of twenty biology students, about to hand out the final exam.
生物老師站在全班同學(xué)的面前，準(zhǔn)備發(fā)放期末考試的試卷。
"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.
我想對大家說，這個學(xué)期能教你們生物課，我真的很開心。我知道你們學(xué)習(xí)都很認(rèn)真、很努力，你們中的很多人，這個暑假之后，就要開始大學(xué)生活了。
So that no one fails, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the course. ”
所以，這次考試，不會有人不及格。你們中間決定不參加今天考試的同學(xué)，都可以獲得B的成績。
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.
很多學(xué)生十分欣喜，他們走到講臺，跟老師提出免除考試的申請。
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."
當(dāng)所有不愿意參加考試的學(xué)生都離開了教室之后，這位老師看著教室里剩下的為數(shù)不多的同學(xué)說道：“還有人要求不參加考試嗎？這是最后的機會了哦！”
One final student rose up and opted out of the final. The professor closed the door and took attendance of those still remaining.
又有一個學(xué)生站了起來，離開了教室。老師隨即關(guān)上了教室的門說，對著教室里剩下的學(xué)生說道：
"I'm glad to see you believe in yourselves," he said. "You all get 'A's."
“看到你們都這么自信，我很高興。這門課，我給你們每一個人A.”

1. 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，大師問徒弟們，智慧和行為，那一個更重要。
徒弟們異口同聲地回答：“當(dāng)然是行為啦，所使用的智慧不是通過行為表現(xiàn)出來了嗎？”
大師反問：“那么，如果這個行為是出自一顆無知的心呢？”
箴言：
心靈比智力更有智慧。——喬賽亞·霍蘭 (1819-1881)
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.
All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.
-- Ellen Glasgow
大師聚精會神地坐著，聽一位著名的經(jīng)濟學(xué)家口沫橫飛展示他的發(fā)展藍圖。
大師問：“從經(jīng)濟理論角度看，增長是唯一該關(guān)心的問題嗎？”
“當(dāng)然啦，從本質(zhì)上說，所有的增長都是有益的?！?br>“哦，那癌細胞也是嗎？”大師問。
箴言：
所有的改變并不都是增長的，同樣，所有的運動并不都是向前的?！瑐?格拉斯哥
3. Before the visitor embarked upon discipleship, he wanted assurance from the Master.
"Can you teach me the goal of human life"?
"I cannot".
"Or at least its meaning"?
"I cannot".
"Can you indicate to me the nature of death and of life beyond the grave"?
"I cannot".
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.
一個訪客在準(zhǔn)備作弟子之前，他想要確保能從大師那學(xué)到什么。
“您能教授給我人生的目標(biāo)嗎？”
“不能?！?br>“那么至少能告訴我人生的意義吧？”
“我也不能?！?br>“那能給我講講，人死后死亡和生命的本質(zhì)？”
“不能?！?br>來訪者不屑地離開了。徒弟們對大師被難倒感到沮喪。而大師卻安慰地說道：
“如果你從未體驗過，你又怎樣理解什么是生命的本質(zhì)和生命的意義呢？
我寧可你們親自品嘗這道甜點而不是猜測它的味道?！?/p>
箴言：
生活是一件浪漫的事。它是繪畫，而不是做算數(shù)——除了你要制造浪漫，
還有一個問題是你體內(nèi)有多少激情的火焰?！獖W利弗.溫德爾.霍姆斯
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
哲學(xué)家問：“為什么你對思想這樣謹(jǐn)慎提防？思想不過是我們塑造世界的一件工具?！?br>“沒錯。但思想可能把世界塑造得太完美以至于現(xiàn)實中不存在?！?br>隨后，大師對弟子說：“思想是幕布，而不是鏡子。這就是為什么你活在思想的封套里，
會遠離現(xiàn)實?！?/p>
箴言：
我們理解為什么孩子害怕黑暗，卻不理解為什么成年人害怕光亮。——柏拉圖
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".
MORSEL:
Your vision will become clear
only when you look into your heart ...
Who looks outside, dreams.
Who looks inside, awakens. -- Carl Jung
大師對一位自稱尋求真理的拜訪者說：“如果你是所要追求的是真理，那有一樣?xùn)|西你首先要具備?！?br>“我明白，尋求真理要有勢不可擋的激情?！?br>“不，是堅持不懈地準(zhǔn)備著承認(rèn)你可能是錯的?！?/p>
箴言：
只有當(dāng)你審視你的內(nèi)心，
你的夢想才會清晰。
看著外面的人，是在夢里。
看到內(nèi)心的人，是清醒的?！枴s格
