At first glance, there would seem to be little that's new here to any close reader of fortune cookies. There may be no less original idea than the notion that our hearts hold dominion over our heads. \straight.\to saying, it's good to be nice. \director of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. But if it were that simple, the book would not be quite so interesting or its implications so controversial.
8. 这绝不是抽象的调查。戈尔曼在寻找“让文明重返我们的街道，让关爱再度光临我们的社区生活”的矫正方法。他到处都能找到实际应用的例子：公司应如何决定雇佣谁，夫妇如何使他们的婚姻更持久，父母应如何培养孩子，学校应如何教育孩子。如今，街区的流氓团伙取代了家庭，校园内的辱骂常以凶杀告终，一半以上的婚姻最终离异，国内大多数被杀儿童是被父母和继父母所杀，而许多父母和继父母却说他们是因为孩子独霸电视或哭得太多而在管教他。这一切都表明情感教育需要补课。
This is no abstract investigation. Goleman is looking for antidotes to restore \to our streets and caring to our communal life.\He sees practical applications everywhere for how companies should decide whom to hire, how couples can increase the odds that their marriages will last, how parents should raise their children and how schools should teach them. When street gangs substitute for families and schoolyard insults end in stabbings, when more than half of marriages end in divorce, when the majority of the children murdered in this country are killed by parents and stepparents, many of whom say they were trying to discipline the child for behavior like blocking the TV or crying too
much, it suggests a demand for remedial emotional education.
9. 正是在这里会产生争议。迈克休说，戈尔曼十分流行的结论“将使每一位对于他的研究可能得到何种应用十分不安的心理疗法资深学者和每一位神经系统科学家不寒而栗。”虽然这一较新领域的许多研究者很高兴看到情感问题最终受到了重视，他们仍担心象情商这样一个便于使用的概念会招致误用。戈尔曼承认，提出能给一个人的性格和智力标上数值是危险的；戈尔曼甚至在他的书中从未用过情商一词。但是他多少有些勉强地同意了在《今日美国》上刊登一份“不科学的”情商测试卷，其中有这样的选择题，“我甚至能意识到自己微妙的感情，”和“我能感觉到一个群体或一种关系的意向，并表达难以言表的感情。”
And it is here the arguments will break out. Goleman's highly popularized conclusions, says McHugh, \any neuroscientist who worries about how his research may come to be applied.\While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, they fear that a notion as handy as EQ invites misuse. Goleman admits the danger of suggesting that you can assign a numerical value to a person's character as well as his intellect; Goleman never even uses the phrase EQ in his book. But he did somewhat reluctantly approve an \EQ test in USA Today with choices like \am aware of even subtle feelings as I have them,\and \can sense the pulse of a group or relationship and state unspoken feelings.\
10. “你不想给情感技能打个平均分，”哈佛大学的心理学教授、儿童发展研究的先驱杰罗姆-卡根说。“这也是把智力这一概念看作精神技能的错误所在。有些人能很好地对付愤怒却不能对付恐惧。有些人不能承受喜悦。所
以应该区别看待每一种情绪。”情商不是智商的对立面。一些人有幸两者都拥有很多，一些人则每一样都拥有很少。研究者们一直试图理解的是它们如何互补；比如，一个人对付压力的能力如何影响其集中思想和发挥才智的能力。研究者们大多同意，在成功的要素中智商约占20%；其余则取决于多种因素，从所属的阶级到运气到在人类进化的几百万年中已在大脑中形成的神经通道。
\don't want to take an average of your emotional skill,\argues Harvard psychology professor Jerome Kagan, a pioneer in child-development research. \what's wrong with the concept of intelligence for mental skills too. Some people handle anger well but can't handle fear. Some people can't take joy. So each emotion has to be viewed differently.\Some people are blessed with a lot of both, some with little of either. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they complement each other; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from class to luck to the neural pathways that have developed in the brain over millions of years of human evolution.
