一、课文原文及逐段翻译
Unit Seven Lesson 1 EQ : IQ — Success Comes with a High EQ/情商与智商(成功源于高情商)
第1段原文:Most students do an IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test early in their school life. Even if they never see their results, they feel that their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change their situation. However, new research into EQ (Emotional Quotient) suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.
译文:大多数学生会在学生生涯早期做智商测试。即使从未看到过测试结果,他们也认为是智商决定了自己日后生活中的表现。当看到其他学生比自己优秀,他们通常会认为那些学生智商更高,无论做什么也改变不了自身这一劣势。然而,最新的情商研究表明,成功并不仅仅是高智商的结果。
第2段原文:While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ, gives the following description: at work, it is IQ that gets you employed, but it is EQ that gets you promoted. Supported by his research, Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone’s future success, their character, as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.
译文:智商表明你到底有多聪明,而情商表明你如何善用智慧。最先使用情商一词的沙洛维教授这样描述:帮你找到工作的是智商,但让你升职的是情商。在其研究的基础上,沙洛维教授建议,在预测某人未来的成功时,由情商测定的性格实际上可能比智商更重要。
第3段原文:Professor Salovey may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the smartest students in your class, who you think deserve good grades, sometimes end up failing exams? Perhaps their failure is because of their lower EQ. People are often mistaken in thinking that those with high IQs always have high EQs as well. This association can exist, but it is just as possible for someone with a low IQ to have a high EQ or someone with a high IQ to have a low EQ.
译文:沙洛维教授或许是对的。举个例子,你有没有想过,为什么班里那些最聪明的学生,那些你认为本应取得好成绩的学生,有时却考试不及格?也许他们的失败是因为情商较低。人们常误以为高智商的人也同样拥有高情商。这种关联可能存在,但同样也有可能低智商拥有高情商,或者高智商的人拥有低情商。
第4段原文:It is generally believed that people with high EQs are open to new ideas and have positive attitudes towards life. They are also less likely to be troubled by internal problems. On the other hand, there is little doubt that people with low EQs often have problems getting on with other people and dealing with difficult situations; hence they have a harder time adjusting in life and in their careers.
译文:人们普遍认为,情商高的人容易接纳新思想,对待生活积极乐观,很少为自身问题所困扰。另一方面,情商低的人毫无疑问往往在与人相处、解决困难方面存在问题。因此,他们适应生活和职业生涯中的变化也就更困难。
第5段原文:People generally believe that a person’s IQ is determined by birth. However, most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person’s EQ, especially in terms of “people kills”, such as understanding and communication.
译文:人们普遍认为人的智商是一出生就决定了的。然而,大多数社会学家认为,情商与教育有很大关系。一些科学家正试图研究提升情商的可能性,特别是“人际技能”方面,例如:理解和沟通。
第6段原文:Professor Mayer, recognised by many as a leading expert in the study of changes to people’s EQs, recently announced the results of a study on senior secondary school students. When students were introduced to those who had disabilities, they found that, afterwards, the non-disabled students were more willing to help people with difficulties. Compared to students who had not been involved in the study, they also showed a better understanding of the disabled students’ feelings. There was also an obvious change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about life and more willing to try new things.
译文:梅尔教授是公认的人类情商变化研究领域的顶级专家,他最近公布了一项针对高中生的研究结果。他们发现,介绍学生认识有残障的学生之后,这些身体健全的学生会更愿意帮助残障人士。与未参与这一研究的学生相比,他们能更好地理解残障学生的感受。同时,残障学生的态度也发生了明显的变化,他们对待生活更加积极,更愿意尝试新事物。
第7段原文:Altogether, the results of studies show that EQ is as important, if not more important than IQ. To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life requires getting on well with other people and being able to understand and react to situations in the best way possible. A high EQ is necessary for this—the higher the better. And the fact that it might be possible to raise EQs means that schools need to make sure that their students are receiving an education they really need, not solely based on IQ but on developing the entire character.
译文:总之,一系列研究表明情商即使不比智商更重要,至少也是同等重要。要在这个世界上出人头地,过上快乐又成功的生活,必须要与他人融洽相处,并能够以最好的方式理解和应对各种状况。要做到这些高情商必不可少,而且是越高越好。此外,情商是可以后天提高的,这就意味着学校需要确保学生接受真正所需的教育,是全人发展的教育,而不仅仅是基于智商的教育。

五、长难句拆解
句1
【原句】Supported by his research, Professor Salovey suggests that when predicting someone's future success, their character, as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.
【主干】Professor Salovey suggests that their character might matter more than their IQ.
【分层】Supported by his research 为过去分词短语作状语(他被研究支撑 → 在其研究基础上);that 引导 suggests 的宾语从句;when predicting someone's future success 是「when + 现在分词」的状语从句省略(= when we are predicting);as measured by EQ tests 为插入的方式状语;more than 引出比较对象。
【翻译】在其研究的基础上,沙洛维教授提出,在预测一个人未来的成功时,由情商测试所衡量的性格,实际上可能比智商更重要。
【考点】过去分词作状语 + 宾语从句 + 状语从句省略 + as 短语插入 + 比较级,一句里五层结构,是典型的议论文的「观点句」。
句2
【原句】To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life requires getting on well with other people and being able to understand and react to situations in the best way possible.
【主干】To get ahead and lead a happy life requires getting on well with others and being able to understand and react.
【分层】To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life 为两个并列不定式作主语,谓语用单数 requires;requires 后接动名词;getting on well... 与 being able to... 是并列的动名词宾语;in the best way possible 作方式状语。
【翻译】要在这个世界上出人头地、过上快乐而成功的生活,就必须与他人融洽相处,并能以尽可能好的方式理解和应对各种状况。
【考点】不定式作主语视为单数;require / need / involve 后接 doing;并列成分必须保持形式一致(doing 与 doing 并列)。
句3
【原句】And the fact that it might be possible to raise EQs means that schools need to make sure that their students are receiving an education they really need, not solely based on IQ but on developing the entire character.
【主干】The fact means that schools need to make sure that students are receiving an education.
【分层】that it might be possible to raise EQs 是 fact 的同位语从句(it 为形式主语,真正主语是不定式);means 后接宾语从句;make sure 后再接一层宾语从句;they really need 为省略关系代词的定语从句;not solely based on IQ but on developing... 为过去分词短语作后置定语,由 not...but... 连接两个并列介词宾语。
【翻译】情商有可能提高这一事实意味着:学校必须确保学生接受的是他们真正需要的教育,是着眼全人发展的教育,而不只是基于智商的教育。
【考点】同位语从句与定语从句的区别(that 在同位语从句中不作成分);三层从句嵌套;not...but... 平衡结构。
六、语法点清单(从句与非谓语)
一、名词性从句
1. 表语从句:their IQ is what determines how well they are going to do in life(what 引导表语从句,从句内又含 how 引导的宾语从句)。
2. 宾语从句并列:they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do... 两个 that 并列时第二个 that 不宜省略。
3. 同位语从句:the fact that it might be possible to raise EQs means...(that 不作成分,只解释 fact 的内容)。
4. 形式主语:it is just as possible for someone with a low IQ to have a high EQ(真正主语是带逻辑主语的不定式)。
二、定语从句
1. 非限制性:Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ;some of the smartest students in your class, who you think deserve good grades(you think 为插入语)。
2. 限制性:Compared to students who had not been involved in the study;an education they really need(省略关系代词 that / which)。
三、强调句与比较结构
1. 强调句:it is IQ that gets you employed, but it is EQ that gets you promoted(强调主语,去掉 it is...that 后句子仍成立)。
2. 让步 / 条件:Even if they never see their results;when predicting someone's future success(状语从句省略)。
3. 比较:as important, if not more important than IQ;the higher the better;might matter more than their IQ。
四、非谓语与被动
1. 过去分词作状语:Supported by his research / Compared to students who... / as measured by EQ tests。
2. 不定式作主语:To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life requires...
3. 动名词作宾语:have problems getting on with other people / have a harder time adjusting / requires getting on well... and being able...
4. 被动语态:a person's IQ is determined by birth;recognised by many as a leading expert;students were introduced to those who had disabilities。
七、逻辑链
① 普遍认知:多数学生相信 IQ 决定人生表现,见同学更优秀便归因于「人家智商高」,认定无法改变。
② 提出反命题:然而有关 EQ 的新研究表明,成功并不仅仅是高智商的结果。
③ 概念界定:IQ 说明你有多聪明,EQ 说明你如何善用聪明;沙洛维用「IQ 助你入职,EQ 助你升职」把两者分工讲清。
④ 反例佐证:班上最聪明的学生也可能挂科;高 IQ 未必高 EQ,低 IQ 反而可能高 EQ,相关性并不等于必然。
⑤ 特征对比:高 EQ 者开放、乐观、少受内在困扰;低 EQ 者人际与应变吃力,适应生活与职业更困难。
⑥ 关键分歧:IQ 一般被认为由先天决定,EQ 却与教育密切相关,尤其在理解与沟通等「人际技能」上有提升空间。
⑦ 实验证据:梅尔教授的高中生研究显示,接触残障同学后,健全学生更愿意施援、更能体谅,残障学生也更积极、更愿尝试新事物——双向改变证明 EQ 可塑。
⑧ 结论与落地:EQ 至少与 IQ 同等重要;既然 EQ 可提高,学校教育就不该只围绕 IQ,而应转向「全人发展」。
写法提炼:全篇是「旧观点 → 新研究 → 下定义 → 举反例 → 作对比 → 找差异 → 上实证 → 提建议」的议论文八步链,每一步都靠 However / On the other hand / Altogether 等信号词衔接,可在自己的议论文里直接照搬。
八、写作迁移(仿写与输出)
仿写模板:It is generally believed that A determines B. However, new research into C suggests that... While A tells us..., C tells us... The fact that C can be improved means that...
示范:It is generally believed that a good memory determines how well a student learns. However, new research into learning strategies suggests that success is not simply the result of remembering more. While memory tells you what you keep, strategy tells you how well you use it. The fact that strategies can be trained means that schools need to teach students how to learn, not solely what to learn.
可迁移句式:① it is ... that ...(强调句)② the fact that ... means that ...(同位语从句 + 宾语从句)③ the + 比较级, the + 比较级 ④ not solely ... but ...(平衡结构)⑤ have problems doing / have a hard time doing。
输出任务:以「成绩好不等于会学习」为题写 120 词短文。要求:用 1 个强调句点明被误认的因素,用 1 个同位语从句引出研究结论,用 1 组 the + 比较级收尾;至少使用 3 个本课词块(be open to / have a lot to do with / get on well with / make sure that 等)。
