【#英语资源# 导语】如果你想要拥有十倍的记忆力,这个视频告诉你一个快速提升的方法。记忆信息主要有两种方式:记忆单词,运用你的言语记忆;记忆图片,运用你的视觉记忆。不同的思维过程可以得出两种完全不同的结果。人们从来不会相信这两者的巨大差异,这对你而言是一个挑战,你可以自己证明这一点。以下内容由®文档大全网整理发布,欢迎阅读参考!更多相关讯息请关注®文档大全网!
First let's test your verbal memory. I'll give you a list of ten words and let’s see how many you're able to remember. Here we go:
首先让我们来测试一下我们的言语记忆。我会给你们一个单词表,里面有10个单词,让我们来看看你能记住多少。现在开始吧:
Piano
钢琴
Elephant
大象
Truck
货车
Bottle
瓶子
Basketball
篮球
Chair
椅子
Pineapple
菠萝
Dog
狗
Painting

Trampoline

Ok. Pause the video and write down all the words you can remember.
好的,现在请暂停视频,写下你记住的所有单词。
How did you go? If you are like the average person you were able to recall about five to seven words, not necessarily in the right order, so that was your verbal memory. Now let's test your visual memory. I'll give you another list of words but this time I’ll also give a short story and draw a picture. To activate your visual memory just create a mental picture of everything I described and draw. You can even close your eyes if you want and just listen to my voice. Here we go:
怎么样了?如果你能像其他人一样记住5-7个单词,而且顺序也不同,这就是言语记忆法的效果了。现在让我们一起来测试一下视觉记忆.我会给你另外一个单词表,但是这次我会给你讲一个小故事,外加一幅图画。为了刺激你的视觉记忆,你只需要在脑海中构造一幅画面,画面要和我讲述的故事以及那副图画有关。如果你愿意的话,你可以闭上你的眼睛,听我讲解即可。现在开始:
FERRARI
法拉利
Imagine you're driving a bright red Ferrari with the top down. The music is pumping about the throaty growl of the engine and your hair is blowing in the wind.
想象一下,你正在驾驶一辆大红色的敞篷法拉利,音乐随着引擎低沉的咆哮声跳动,你的秀发随风飘散。
CHICKEN
小鸡
With a loud ‘thump’ a giant chicken lands in the seat next to you. It's the size of a person, enormous, and yellow, it must've fallen out of the sky.
随着一声巨响,一只巨大的鸡坐到了你的身旁。这是一只超大的,有人那样大小的*的鸡,它可能从天上掉下来。
WATERMELON
西瓜
The chicken opens the car door and leaps out onto the road. As it stands there, an enormous green watermelon roles over the top of it and keeps rolling down the road.
这只鸡打开了车门,跳到了路上。当这只鸡站在那边的时候,一只巨大的绿色西瓜压在这只鸡身上,不断滚向这条马路的前方。
BARACK OBAMA
巴拉克·奥巴马
You watch the watermelon roll down the road and straight into Barack Obama. The watermelon splits in half and Obama is left standing there dripping in watermelon juice.
你眼睁睁地看着这只西瓜朝着奥巴马的方向不断滚动着。这只西瓜对半分开了,奥巴马就在左边那一半的西瓜旁站着喝西瓜汁。
POODLE
卷毛狗
Obama picks up a passing poodle and uses it to wipe juice off his face. The poodle is pure white but as it soaks up water melon juice it slowly turns bright pink.
奥巴马捡起一只路过的贵宾犬,用它来擦拭脸上的果汁。本来纯白的贵宾犬,一沾到西瓜汁就慢慢变成了明亮的粉红色。
FLAGPOLE
旗杆
Obama throws the poodle away, flies through the air in lands on the top of a tall flagpole. The weigh of the white poodle causes the flagpole to slowly topple over.
奥巴马将贵宾犬扔向一边,它随风飘逝,最后停留在了一根高耸的旗杆上。白色贵宾犬的重量将这根旗杆慢慢地压弯。
CAKE
蛋糕
With a loud and messy ‘splat’ the flagpole falls into the middle of an enormous birthday cake. Icing, cream and candles go flying everywhere, raining down on people passing by.
随着响亮、刺耳的一声“啪嗒声”,整个旗杆倒向了一个巨型的生日蛋糕。糖霜、奶油、蜡烛四处飞散,落在了过往的行人身上。
DOLL
洋娃娃
A large dollop of cream lands on the head of an oversized Barbie doll. It creates a wierd chemical reaction and the doll shoots into the sky like a space rocket, blonde hair trailing behind her.
一团巨大的奶油落到了一个超大的芭比娃娃头上。这造成一种奇怪的化学反应,洋娃娃“嗖”的一下像火箭一样飞向了天空,金色的发丝全部飞到了脑后。
PIZZA
披萨
The doll rockets upwards and just as it starts to fall a large pizza exploits open above her head like a parachute. The pizza is attached to the doll by long streams of melted cheese.
洋娃娃火箭不断上升,正当它要下落的时候,一个巨大的披萨像降落伞一样作用在它的头部。整个披萨通过众多的奶酪丝和洋娃娃联结。
GIRAFFE
长颈鹿
The pizza eventually lands on the ground covering the doll, and a giraffe walks over and starts eating the pizza bending its long neck and stretching its tongue to lick up the delicious cheese.
最终,整个披萨覆盖在了洋娃娃身上,落到了地上,一只长颈鹿刚好经过这里,它开始弯着长长的脖子品尝披萨,伸着舌头舔舐美味的芝士。
SKATEBOARD
滑板
After eating too much cheese, the giraffe pulls out a skateboard, jumps on it and starts gliding down the street, ducking signs and street lights as it rolls along.
吃了太多的芝士后,长颈鹿拿出了一块滑板,跳上它,开始在街上滑行,前行的时候不断躲避着路边的标志物和街灯。
CIGARETTE
香烟
The skateboard begins coughing and it stops and uses one of its wheels to light a cigarette. The cigarette becomes engulfed in flames and the skateboard throws it away.
这块滑板咳嗽了起来,它停下来,用它其中一个轮子点燃了一根香烟。整根香烟都燃烧了起来,滑板立即扔掉了它。
STATUE OF LIBERTY
自由女神像
The flaming cigarette flies through the air and lands on the torch being held aloft by the statue of liberty. The torch bursts into flames too.
燃烧着的香烟随风飘散,最后停在了自由女神像高举着的火炬上。整个火炬也燃烧了起来。
ICE CREAM
冰激凌
The Statue of Liberty comes alive and thrusts the burning torch deep into a big bucket of Ice-cream. It’s cherry-chocolate ice-cream that melts and starts to bubble ominously.
自由女神像活了过来,她将燃烧着的火炬挤压成了一桶冰激凌。樱桃巧克力口味的冰激凌开始融化,不断吐着泡泡。
FIREWORKS
烟火
The ice cream explodes into fireworks lighting up the sky above the Statue of Liberty with brightly coloured fireworks forming the words: ‘The End’.
冰激凌成了烟火散开在自由女神像的上空,形成了这样的字体:“完结”。
OK, pause the video again and write down how many words you're able to recall using your visual memory. The trick is to recreate the picture in your mind of each image in this story.
好了,现在再一次将视频暂停,看看靠着视觉记忆,你能写下多少单词。这样的技巧都是为了将整个故事的图像重新在你的脑海中形成画面。
Did you see the difference? And I did something sneaky: I gave you 15 words not 10, but the average person would have been able to recall from 10 up to all 15 words, and mostly in the correct order.
你看出其中的差别了吗?我耍了一点小花招:我刚刚列出了15个单词而不是10个,但是大部分人都能回忆起10到15个单词,而且是正确的顺序。
Visual memory techniques have been around for thousands of years but for some strange reason most people only know verbal memory techniques. They can be fantastic for a small number of words but they don't activate the amazing power of your visual memory.
视觉记忆法已经存在了约数千年,但由于某种奇怪的原因,大部分人只知道言语记忆法。言语记忆法只对于少部分的单词有效,但远不及视觉记忆所拥有的神奇效果。
Thanks for watching.
感谢观赏。
