对话文本1


Jerry: I really admire you, Diana.

Diana: why, Jerry? Your words just came out of the blue.

J: you are really happy and able to achieve high scores at school.

D: I work very hard and that's it, you know, practice makes perfect.

J: isn't there anything else?

D: I have no idea.

J: you must have a high IQ score.

D: well, Jerry, let me tell you a secret.

J: go ahead.

D: my IQ score is slightly above average.

J: seriously? But you are such a genius.

D: maybe I've got a higher EQ. I'm not sure.

J: well, perhaps you're right. Sometimes EQ matters more than IQ.

D: you can say that again, Jerry. And I'm sure you're high in both of them. With a little more time cracking the books, you can also get high marks.

J: oh, thank you. I'm going to the library, are you coming?

D: let's go!

戴安娜,我真的很羡慕你.
为什么啊,杰瑞?你这话让我摸不着头脑.
你总是很开心,成绩也一直很好.
那是因为我很努力,没有别的.你也知道,熟能生巧嘛.
没别的了?
是啊,我不知道还有什么.
你的智商一定很高吧?
哦,杰瑞,告诉你一个秘密吧.
好啊.
我的智商是中等偏上水平.
真的吗?你可是个天才啊!
或许我的情商比较高吧,我不太确定.
应该没错,有时候情商要比智商重要.
对!杰瑞,你的智商和情商也很高啊,只要多加努力,你也能取得好成绩的.
好的,谢谢.我正要去图书馆呢,要不一起去吧?
好的,走吧.

J: Diana, in your opinion, which is more important, IQ or EQ?

D: why are you asking me the strange question, Jerry?

J: I watched the movie Forrest Gump last night. And the question just lingered in my mind.

D: well, I think IQ matters more. But it won't work without EQ.

J: why? You seem pretty sure about it.

D: because an intelletual mind can only be a beneficial thing in life.

J: but IQ is decided at birth. One can't expect to make a lot of improvement in it.

D: that's why people's achievement varies greatly.

J: that's sure, but what if one comes across some difficulities? He must rely on his EQ to deal with them.

D: yes, jerry, can you share your understanding of EQ?

J: I think it is independent of IQ and plays a prominent role in deciding the way we lead our lives.

D: quite right. Have you noticed that a high IQ is not a must for one's success?

J: just as Forrest?

D: yes, his IQ is high enough for him to embrace the success as long as he can manage his EQ.

J: I got it.

戴安娜,你觉得智商和情商哪个更重要呢?
杰瑞,你为什么问这个奇怪的问题呢?
昨天晚上我看了电影阿甘正传,这个问题就一直在我的脑海里萦绕.
哦,我觉得智商更重要些,但是一个人也离不开情商.
为什么?你看起来很确定.
因为一个人的聪明才智才会令他终生受用.
但是人的智商是生来就决定好的,不会有太大长进.
所以人们会有成败之分啊.
有道理,可是如果一个人遇到困难怎们办?他只能用情商来解决问题.
是啊,杰瑞,你能说说你对情商的看法吗?
我觉得情商和智商是两码事,分别决定着我们的生活方式.
是这样的.你有没有注意到一个人若想获得成功,并不一定要有高智商吗?
就像阿甘一样吗?
对啊,只要他能够很好地应用自己的情商,他的智商已经足以让他成功了.
我明白了.
