Mm Hello this is six minute english from BBC learning english.

你好，這裡是BBC學習英語的六分鐘英語。

Can you remember people's names or where you left your car keys?

你能記住別人的名字或你的車鑰匙放在哪裡嗎？

Well I can remember people's faces but I have a terrible memory for names and sometimes I'll be eagerly reading a book but then a week later I can't remember a single thing about it.

我可以記住別人的臉，但我對名字的記憶力很差，有時我會熱切地閱讀一本書，但一週後我就記不起它的任何東西了。

Many people find it hard to remember things they've read or learned while others sometimes useless information sticks with them mm.

許多人發現很難記住他們讀過或學過的東西，而其他人有時無用的資訊卻讓他們記憶猶新。

In this program we'll be finding out why we forget the things we've learned, whether that's someone's name, a word in english or where you put your wallet.

在這個節目中，我們將找出為什麼我們會忘記我們所學到的東西，無論是某人的名字、英語中的一個單詞還是你把錢包放在哪裡。

But first let me ask you my quiz question rob before I forget You and I might struggle to remember someone's phone number but Chinese student Xiao Lu has a record breaking memory in 2005 she recited the numbers of pi The mathematical equation describing the proportions of a circle.

但首先讓我問你我的問答問題，在我忘記之前，你和我可能會努力記住某人的電話號碼，但中國學生小陸的記憶力打破了記錄，在2005年，她背出了π的數字，這是描述圓的比例的數學方程式。

But how many digits did she manage to remember?

88,000 Wow it sounds like Xiao Lu has an incredible memory.

88,000 哇，聽起來肖魯有一個不可思議的記憶。

I'll say she remembered be 68,000 digits of pi Okay rob.

我說她記得是圓周率的68,000位數，好搶。

Let's remember to find out the answer at the end of the program.

讓我們記得在節目的最後找出答案。

Okay we'll do now someone like chow liu might have a photographic memory.

好吧，我們現在就去做，像周流這樣的人可能會有一個照相式的記憶。

The ability to remember things in exact detail.

有能力準確地記住事情的細節。

Like looking at a photograph but for the rest of us, things are more complicated.

就像看照片一樣，但對我們其他人來說，事情就更復雜了。

Dr Jared Horvath is an educational neuroscientists at the University of Melbourne according to him, there are two rules which explain how we remember information.

賈裡德-霍瓦斯博士是墨爾本大學的教育神經科學家，據他說，有兩條規則可以解釋我們如何記住資訊。

Listen to Dr Horvath talking to BBC World Service program, The Y factor and see if you can hear the two rules he mentions, Rule # one is repetition is key.

聽聽霍瓦特博士在BBC世界服務節目《Y因素》中的講話，看看你是否能聽到他提到的兩條規則，規則一是重複是關鍵。

The odds of remembering something after a one off are incredibly slim.

一次之後記住一些東西的機率是非常小的。

Unless you can immediately link it to something you already understand.

除非你能立即把它與你已經理解的東西聯繫起來。

If I ever meet someone named Cooney, I'll never forget that because I have an immediate link.

如果我遇到一個叫庫尼的人，我將永遠不會忘記，因為我有一個直接的聯繫。

But if I meet someone named joe uh so one office, we all pretty much suck at it Unless we focus.

但是，如果我遇到一個叫joe uh so的人，一個辦公室，我們都很差勁，除非我們專注。

So rule two then becomes, we remember what we focus on.

所以第二條規則就變成了，我們要記住我們所關注的東西。

The first rule for remembering is repetition.

The odds meaning the probability of remembering something are low if you learn it as a one off something that only happens once Dr.

如果你把它當作只發生過一次的事情來學習，那麼機率意味著記住某件事的概率很低。

This involves making links between new information and something you already understand.

這涉及在新資訊和你已經理解的東西之間建立聯繫。

These are the most effective methods of remembering and most of us suck at or are bad at other ways of remembering things now.

這些是最有效的記憶方法，我們現在大多數人都不擅長或不擅長其他的記憶方法。

Of course, one group of people who need good memory is students, do you remember cramming for school exams?

當然，有一類人需要良好的記憶力，那就是學生，你還記得學校考試時的補習嗎？

Ah yes, staying up late, trying to revise everything the night before an exam.

啊，是的，熬夜，試圖在考試前一天晚上覆習所有內容。

I remember doing that but it didn't work.

我記得我是這麼做的，但沒有用。

Yes Dr Horvath research found that students who cram for tests forget around 90% of what they studied within 72 hours.

是的，Horvath博士的研究發現，為考試補習的學生在72小時內會忘記他們所學的大約90%的內容。

Trying to cram students heads with facts and figures it should involve something more meaningful as he explains to BBC World Service's the Y factor.

試圖用事實和數字塞滿學生的腦袋，應該涉及更有意義的東西，正如他向BBC世界服務的Y因素解釋的那樣。

And the thing that I like about education is it's really moving from a model of just memorize as much as you can into what we now call deep learning which is instead of giving you 100 things and I just need to know that you can remember them.

我喜歡教育的一點是，它真的從一個只是儘可能多地記憶的模式轉變為我們現在所說的深度學習，即不是給你100個東西，我只是需要知道你能記住它們。

I'm going to give you 10 things and instead of just being able to remember them I want you to be able to describe it deeply and come up with new ways of looking at it.

我將給你10件事情，而不是僅僅能夠記住它們，我希望你能夠深入地描述它，並提出新的方法來看待它。

Traditionally education involves memorizing learning information exactly as it is.

傳統的教育是指完全照本宣科地記憶學習資訊。

But being able to repeat something like a parrot doesn't always mean you understand it.

但是，能夠像鸚鵡一樣重複一些東西並不總是意味著你理解它。

Doctor Horvath advocates a technique called deep learning.

霍瓦特博士提倡一種叫做深度學習的技術。

A complete way of learning something that means you fully understand and will not forget.

一種完整的學習方式，意味著你完全理解並不會忘記。

Focus and deep learning are the memory muscles we need maybe that's how chinese student xiao lu developed her record.

專注和深度學習是我們需要的記憶肌肉，也許這就是中國學生小陸創造記錄的原因。

You do remember your quiz question don't you Georgina?

你還記得你的測驗問題吧，喬治娜？

I asked you how many digits of the mathematical equation pie she could remember And I said be 68,000 digits Which was the correct answer.

我問你她能記住多少位的數學公式，我說是68,000位，這是正確的答案。

Actually the number was so long it took her over 24 hours without a break to recite it all.

事實上，這個數字太長了，她花了24個多小時沒有休息，才把它全部背出來。

Her brain must have been aching after all that.

做完這一切後，她的大腦一定很痛。

Okay let's recap the vocabulary from this program starting with a photographic memory which is the ability to remember things in exact detail.

好吧，讓我們回顧一下這個項目中的詞彙，從照相式記憶開始，這是一種能夠準確記住事情細節的能力。

The odds of something happening mean the chances that it will happen one off is something that only happens once to suck out something is an informal way to say be bad at doing something.

某事發生的機率是指它會發生的機率，一次是指只發生一次的事情，吸走某事是一種非正式的方式，表示在做某事時很糟糕。

If you memorize something you learn it exactly so that you can repeat it later.

如果你背誦某樣東西，你就會準確地學會它，以便你以後可以重複它。

And finally deep learning describes a complete way of learning something so that you fully understand it and will not forget it.

最後，深度學習描述了一種完整的學習方式，使你完全理解它，並且不會忘記它。
