短释义：
This is mainly a word for pleasant kindness. Besides people or animals, climates and weather can be genial, which means they too are warm and sunny — good for growing things. In older literature, genial might have something to do with marriage and family, and sometimes brilliance, as in genius. Those uses are very rare nowadays, as is the sense of genial as having to do with the jaw. These days, warmth and friendliness are the main meanings.
如果你友善外向，那你就是和蔼可亲。你可以是和蔼可亲的主人，也可以是和蔼可亲的客人。

这主要是一个愉快的善意的词。除了人或动物，气候和天气也可能是和蔼可亲的，这意味着它们也温暖而阳光明媚——有利于植物生长。在较早的文学作品中，genial 可能与婚姻和家庭有关，有时与天才有关。如今，这些用途非常罕见，就像与下巴有关的亲切感一样。如今，温暖和友善是主要含义。
