和老外聊天的地道口语第72期:智商情商大比拼

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 ahead¹.

D: my IQ score is slightly above average².

J: seriously? But you are such a genius³.

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 cracking⁴ 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!
