What is 'nunchi', the Korean secret to happiness?

Have you ever wanted to read minds? Or wished you had a little bit more of whatever ineffable quality it is that makes some people seem effortlessly popular at parties, lucky in love, and successful at work? Perhaps you need to brush up on you nunchi – a traditional Korean concept of situational awareness.

Nunchi is the “art of understanding what people are thinking and feeling” – a quality held by those who are sensitive to the dynamics within a given group. Koreans cultivate nunchi from a young age. The word “nunchi” itself roughly translates to “eye-measure”, a sort of sizing-up, not of individuals but of the overall context and atmosphere of a situation. It’s applicable to just about every social setting one can be in, from a wedding to a job interview.

In action, nunchi involves noticing who, in any given context, is speaking, who is listening, who interrupts, who apologizes, who is rolling their eyes. From there, one can make potentially useful assessments about the nature of relationships and hierarchies within a group, the overall mood, and how to behave accordingly.

原文标题：What is 'nunchi', the Korean secret to happiness?

参考翻译

韩国人通往幸福的秘密

你是否想过去猜别人的心思?或者，是否想过希望你拥有某种无法言喻的品质，就是那种可以使某些人似乎可以在派对上毫不费力地成为受到欢迎的人，成为爱情里的幸运儿，以及职场上的人生赢家?也许你需要提升你的nunchi –这是一种韩国传统的事态感知的概念。

Nunchi是“了解人们的想法和感受的艺术” –一种对特定组群中的动态敏感的人所拥有的品质。韩国人从小就开始培养这样的能力。“nunchi”一词本身粗略地翻译为“眼力测量”，是一种判断，不是针对个人，而是针对整体上下文以及环境局势。从婚礼到工作面试，几乎适用于每个社交场合。

在日常运用中，nunchi涉及到，在任何给出的特定场景下，你注意到谁在讲话，谁在听，谁打断别人，谁在道歉，谁在转动眼睛。从那里，一个人可以做出潜在地有用的判断，包含了：关系的性质、特定一群人的上下级关系、整个环境里的情绪以及如何根据情况来作出反应。
