Interpersonal is about what happens between people, not inside one person. Schools and workplaces love it: interpersonal skills are talking, listening, and getting along.

A doctor can be very clever and still be weak at interpersonal work if patients do not feel heard. It is a fairly formal, textbook-sounding word — you would put it in a report more than in a chat with friends, who would just say ‘good with people’.

A doctor can be very clever一個醫生可以很聰明，and still be weak at interpersonal work但在interpersonal（人際）這方面還是很弱，if patients do not feel heard如果病人覺得自己沒有被聽見的話。It is a fairly formal, textbook-sounding word這是個相當正式、有點教科書味的字，you would put it in a report more than in a chat with friends你會把它寫進報告裡，而不是跟朋友聊天時用，who would just say ‘good with people’朋友會直接說「很會跟人相處」。

Though actually, it is not only about being nice. An argument is interpersonal too, because two people are in it. A fight, a kindness, a quiet look: if it runs from one person to another, this word can cover it.

Though actually不過其實，it is not only about being nice它不是只跟「友善」有關。An argument is interpersonal too一場爭吵也是interpersonal的，because two people are in it因為裡面有兩個人。A fight, a kindness, a quiet look一場爭執、一個善意的舉動、一個無聲的眼神——if it runs from one person to another只要是從一個人傳到另一個人的，this word can cover it這個字都涵蓋得到。
