Emotional intelligence, also known as EI or EQ, is the brain's ability to see feelings coming — and then to use them, listen to what they've got to say, and manage them effectively.
情商，也称为EI或EQ，是指大脑能够预见情绪，然后利用这些情绪、倾听情绪并有效管理情绪。
People with lots of EI recognize their own emotions and can identify them in others.
情商高的人能够识别自己的情绪，并能识别他人的情绪。
This allows them to discern between different feelings, adjust their inner states and communicate better.
这使得他们能够辨别不同的情绪、调整内心状态并更好地沟通。
Perhaps the most relevant model of "emotional intelligence" was developed by the psychologists John Mayer and Peter Salovey,
或许最相关的“情商”模型是由心理学家约翰·梅耶(John Mayer)和彼得·沙洛维开发的，
who defined it in 1990 as the sum of four skills: perceiving, using, understanding, and managing emotions.
他们在1990年将情商定义为四种技能的总和：感知情绪、利用情绪、理解情绪和管理情绪。
Perceiving Emotions is our ability to detect them in faces, pictures, and voices — including in ourselves.
感知情绪是我们从面部、图片和声音中（包括我们自己）感知情绪的能力。
It's the foundation of emotional intelligence and makes all other processing of sentimental information possible. Using emotions is the ability to align our hearts with our heads.
它是情商的基础，使所有其他情感信息处理成为可能。利用情绪是将我们的心与头脑协调起来的能力。
People who are emotionally intelligent can perceive their changing moods and as a result, may change what they do to channel their feelings effectively.
情商高的人可以感知他们不断变化的情绪，因此可能会改变行为以有效地引导情绪。
Understanding emotions is our ability to comprehend the complex relationships between feelings.
理解情绪是我们理解情感之间复杂关系的能力。
It involves recognizing and describing how moods evolve and change over time.
它涉及识别和描述情绪如何随时间演变和变化。
Managing emotions is the ability to regulate feelings in ourselves and in others.
管理情绪是调节自己和他人情绪的能力。
People who are good at that can control their sentiments, manage their moods, and are able to influence the emotions of others.
擅长管理情绪的人可以控制自己的情绪，管理自己的情绪，并能够影响他人的情绪。
While some people seem to be naturally gifted with all four abilities, others have to work hard on every single one of them.
虽然有些人似乎天生就拥有这四种能力，但其他人必须努力掌握每一种能力。
The good news is, most of us can improve our EI through mindfulness, exercises, therapy, and education. And it seems it's worth the effort!
好消息是，我们大多数人都可以通过正念、锻炼、治疗和教育来提高我们的情商。而且似乎值得付出努力！
Higher emotional intelligence often correlates with higher academic and professional success.
更高的情商通常与更高的学业和职业成功相关。
This is because our emotions and the way we manage them impact directly on our brain's ability to listen and learn.
这是因为我们的情绪以及管理情绪的方式直接影响大脑倾听和学习的能力。
As Peter Salovey concluded: "People in good moods are better at inductive reasoning and creative problem-solving."
正如彼得·沙洛维总结的那样：“心情好的人更善于归纳推理和创造性解决问题。”
So what do you think? Is emotional intelligence something we can and should try to teach in schools? And if so, how?
你怎么看？情商是我们可以而且应该在学校教授的东西吗？如果是，该如何教授？
