Some Things Good Listeners Do Differently
侧耳倾听成就更棒的倾听者
They're emotionally intelligent.
他们情商高。
Emotional intelligence, or the awareness of our emotions and the emotions of those around us, can help enhance any interaction -- especially when it comes to listening.
情商，或者对自己和周围人情绪的警觉，能够帮助提升互动——尤其在倾听的时候。
According to Travis Bradberry, author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0, cultivating a high "EQ" is paramount when sharpening your listening skills. And all it takes is practice and focus.
据《情商2.0》的作者特拉维·布拉德伯里所讲，培养高情商对提高倾听技能是至关重要的。而它所需的全部就是练习和专注。
"When you're caught up with thinking about what you're going to say next, you aren't listening," he told the Chicago Tribune in 2011. "But if you stop what you're doing, and really focus on the person talking, you activate neurons in your brain and your body starts to hone in on the other person. This helps you retain more information."
“当你陷于思考接下来要讲的内容时，你没有在倾听，”他于2011年《芝加哥论坛报》的采访中讲道。“但如果你停止自己正在做的，真正专注于讲话的人，你大脑和身体里活跃的神经细胞会专注到另外这个人。这能帮你获取更多信息。”
