單詞是每個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的孩子必過(guò)的第一關(guān)，尤其是對(duì)于英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)薄弱的孩子，單詞總是記不住實(shí)在很讓媽媽們頭疼。
艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線告訴人們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)中的遺忘是有規(guī)律的，遺忘的進(jìn)程很快，并且先快后慢。觀察曲線，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),學(xué)得的知識(shí)在一天后，如不抓緊復(fù)習(xí),就只剩下原來(lái)的25%。
隨著時(shí)間的推移,遺忘的速度減慢，遺忘的數(shù)量也就減少。
如果你想迅速提高記憶力，那么可以遵循超強(qiáng)記憶力大師埃德·庫(kù)克（Ed Cooke）的記憶方法。
作為Memrise的創(chuàng)始人兼首席執(zhí)行官，庫(kù)克幾乎花了20年參加記憶力錦標(biāo)賽，以展現(xiàn)英勇的腦力特技在競(jìng)賽中贏得勝利，比如在一個(gè)小時(shí)之內(nèi)記住16副撲克牌的順序。
超強(qiáng)記憶力訓(xùn)練
Here's what Cooke suggests if you want to sharpen your own memory:
如果你想迅速提高記憶力，以下就是庫(kù)克的建議：
1
Location is key
位置是關(guān)鍵
Quite a common experience is for context to mess with memory in quite a severe way.
在某種情景下記憶力嚴(yán)重混亂是一個(gè)非常普遍的體驗(yàn)。
For instance, you're in the kitchen, and you think 'I must get my raincoat from the bedroom' and you head upstairs. Once there, you can't remember what you came for.
比如，你在廚房，想著“我要到臥室里拿雨衣”，然后你上了樓?？梢砸坏侥莾?，你就記不起來(lái)你為什么上來(lái)了。
You return downstairs, and immediately remember. You head upstairs, and again can't remember what you were looking for.
你轉(zhuǎn)頭下了樓梯，突然之間你又記起來(lái)了。你又上樓，接著你又記不起來(lái)你到底要找什么了。
The trick is to imagine what you're looking for in the location you're headed to. That way the new context will contain the memory of what you were looking for.
辦法就是你得想象你到你要去的那個(gè)位置到底找什么。如此一來(lái)，新的情景中就會(huì)包含你在尋找何物的記憶。

Train your brain
練你的大腦
To keep the memory sharp, the same thing's required that will keep the mind sharp generally.
保持記憶力的敏捷，同保持思維的敏銳所要求具備的東西是一樣的。
lots of stimulation, keeping mentally active, learning new things.
頻繁的刺激，保持思維活躍，學(xué)習(xí)新事物。
Whether it's doing the daily cross-word, conversing on difficult subjects, learning a language,
不論是做每日的字謎游戲，討論困難的議題，學(xué)習(xí)外語(yǔ),
or simply doing an interesting manual task, keeping active is at the heart of mental health, and the sine qua non of keeping on top of memory as you age.
或是僅僅是去做一項(xiàng)有趣的手工，保持活躍是思維健康的核心，也是保持你所屬年紀(jì)最佳記憶力的必要條件。

Play mind games
玩思維游戲
Every kind of memory is different, so there's no general test for memory. But there are many specific games that can be played.
每種記憶都不同，所以其實(shí)并沒(méi)有什么通用的記憶力測(cè)試。但是又很多具體的游戲可以玩一玩。
For instance:
Have someone write out a list of 20 words, give yourself a minute and then try to reproduce them in order. 14 is a great result.
寫(xiě)一個(gè)有20個(gè)詞語(yǔ)的清單， 給自己一分鐘，然后嘗試著將他們按照原順序再現(xiàn)出來(lái)。能寫(xiě)對(duì)14個(gè)就是非常好的結(jié)果了。
Have someone do the same for a list of 20 numbers. Do the same thing with a collection of 10 flowers and their names.
讓每一個(gè)人也同樣做一個(gè)有20個(gè)數(shù)字的清單。或收集10種花和花名。
Or faces and their names.
或是記憶人臉和他們的名字。
Each exercise will specifically test your memory (at the moment) for these things. The more you practice any such task, the better you'll get at it.
每一個(gè)訓(xùn)練都會(huì)專門檢測(cè)你對(duì)（有時(shí)候）這些事物的記憶力。這種游戲你最玩得多，那你收獲的也越多。
4
Repeat, repeat, repeat!
重復(fù)，重復(fù)，重復(fù)！
If you need to remember something, repeat it, test yourself on it, review it regularly.
如果你需要記下某事，就重復(fù)，檢測(cè)你自己是否記得，定期回顧。
One great habit is that of 'recollection'. At the end of the day, reflect on all the things you did.
“回憶”是一個(gè)很重要的習(xí)慣。一天結(jié)束之后，回想一下你所做的所有事。
That single repetition will be enough for memories not to slip through the gaps, and can give a general boost to your mental clarity.
僅僅重復(fù)進(jìn)能夠助你無(wú)缺漏的記憶，提升你的思維清晰度。
5
Tell a story
講故事
As a rule of thumb, we remember anything we pay attention to.
一般來(lái)說(shuō)，我們會(huì)記住我們所關(guān)注的事物。怎樣關(guān)注呢？
How to pay attention? The answer is always to find what is interesting in what you want to remember.
答案就是要找到你想記住的事物中最有趣的部分是什么。
If it's a story, experience its meaning and enjoy it. If it's a conversation, try to immerse yourself in its meaning.
如果是一個(gè)故事，那就體會(huì)其中的意義，享受其中。如果是一個(gè)對(duì)話，嘗試去理解其中的意思。
If it's a fact, try to work out what would be interesting about it.
如果是一個(gè)客觀事實(shí)，試著找出其中最有趣的是什么。
