If I run it's because I'm being chased and that is not about today's topic, which is meditation and how it'll help with language learning.

如果我跑，那是因為我被人追趕，這與今天的話題無關，今天的話題是冥想，以及冥想對語言學習有什麼幫助。

Now I'm going to start with what meditation is.

現在我先說說什麼是冥想。

Um simply because I think if you don't understand it, you might think it doesn't have anything to do with language learning.

嗯，只是因為我認為如果你不瞭解它，你可能會認為它與語言學習沒有任何關係。

But it's a great tool to help you learn.

但它是一個幫助你學習的偉大工具。

Um let's get started, shall we?

嗯，讓我們開始吧，好嗎？

Alright, so what is meditation?

好吧，那麼什麼是冥想？

Meditation is a tool that we can use by focusing our thoughts on one object or to allow ourselves to be more aware of things around us so we can end up getting more control over our brain on ourselves.

冥想是一種工具，我們可以通過將思想集中在一個物體上，或者讓自己更多的意識到周圍的事物，這樣我們最終可以在自己身上獲得更多的大腦控制權。

Um especially in today's modern age where we're looking and seeing everything.

嗯，特別是在今天這個現代的時代，我們正在尋找和看到一切。

We tend to have many, many thoughts and we have very little control over them when we meditate, which is to take that time to focus on one thing.

我們往往有很多很多的想法，當我們冥想的時候，我們對這些想法的控制能力很差，也就是利用這個時間來專注於一件事。

Maybe your environments, like how many sounds you can hear or to focus on our breathing.

也許你的環境，比如你能聽到多少聲音，或者專注於我們的呼吸。

We close down the noise.

我們關閉了噪音。

But I don't want to go too far because that's part of my lesson.

但我不想走得太遠，因為這是我教訓的一部分。

But it helps us get more control of ourselves and makes us much more efficient in everything we do.

但它幫助我們更多地控制自己，使我們在做任何事情時都更有效率。

Now let's see how it applies to language learning.

現在讓我們看看它如何適用於語言學習。

I'm going to give you five ways that meditation can help you with language learning.

我將向你介紹冥想可以幫助你學習語言的五個方法。

Are you ready?

你準備好了嗎？

Let's start with number one.

讓我們從第一項開始。

Oh sorry.

哦，對不起。

Before I do that, I've got to do something with you.

在我這樣做之前，我必須對你做一些事情。

I'm gonna do what's called a test retest.

我要做的是所謂的測試重測。

And I've done this for all of these videos I've done, which are not specifically about conversation, reading and writing and grammar.

而且我為我所做的所有這些視頻都是這樣做的，這些視頻不是專門關於對話、閱讀和寫作以及文法。

It's more along the lines of helping you get better to make yourself make yourself better so that you can learn in a more efficient and effective way.

它更多地是沿著幫助你變得更好的思路，使你自己使自己變得更好，以便你能以更有效的方式學習。

So the test retest we're gonna do is right now what I want you to do is tell me how many sounds you can hear.

所以我們要做的測試重測是，現在我要你做的是告訴我你能聽到多少個聲音。

Okay, stop.

好了，別說了。

That's it.

就這樣了。

Don't worry about it.

不用擔心。

We're gonna come back to that.

我們會再來討論這個問題。

So that was very quick.

所以那是非常快的。

What I was trying to sell you or get you to notice is I know birds were in the forest what you expect.

我試圖向你推銷或讓你注意到的是，我知道鳥兒們在森林裡是你所期望的。

It's Canada eh um, what I wanted you to do is see how aware you are of your environment.

這是加拿大，嗯，我想讓你做的是看看你對你的環境的認識程度。

Okay.

好的。

Um, when you're not conscious or you're not really thinking about it, what's going on?

嗯，當你沒有意識或你沒有真正思考它時，發生了什麼？

What do you think?

你怎麼看？

All right.

好的。

So our test retest was, how many sounds did you hear?

所以我們的測試複試是，你聽到了多少個聲音？

If you heard one, you heard five, maybe six?

如果你聽到了一個，你聽到了五個，也許是六個？

Maybe.

也許。

You heard nothing like just this guy on Youtube and I'm about to turn it.

你在Youtube上聽到的只是這個人的聲音，我就要把它變成。

Don't turn it.

不要轉動它。

It's about to get good.

它即將變得很好。

So what's the first thing you're gonna learn when you do meditation or how it helps with language learning.

那麼，當你做冥想時，你要學的第一件事是什麼，或者說它對語言學習有什麼幫助。

Well remember I went, it quiets your mind.

好吧，記得我去了，它讓你的頭腦安靜下來。

Have you ever been in an environment like this one?

你曾在這樣的環境中呆過嗎？

See those people talking.

看到那些人在說話。

Yeah.

是的。

Sometimes there's even more people talking if you've ever gone to a movie theater or a really crazy bar or something.

有時，如果你曾經去電影院或一個非常瘋狂的酒吧或其他地方，就會有更多的人說話。

There's so many people talking, you're like what?

有這麼多的人在談論，你就像什麼？

Hey, what was that?

嘿，那是什麼？

Were you trying to say?

你想說的是什麼？

That stuff goes on in your brain all the time?

這些東西一直在你的大腦中進行？

Lots of messages are coming in, especially in the modern day where we have, oh my God, that's beautiful.

很多資訊都進來了，特別是在現代，我們有，哦，我的上帝，那很美。

You woody woodpecker, Hi, sorry, love being outside.

你這個木頭啄木鳥，嗨，對不起，喜歡在外面。

Anyway when you have all that noise, it's hard to concentrate and that makes it hard for us to think, okay well meditation because we're concentrating on one thing, we actually quiet those voices just like those people disappeared in my bird disappear, it gets quieter so you can concentrate.

總之，當你有所有的噪音時，很難集中注意力，這使我們很難思考，好吧，冥想，因為我們集中在一件事上，我們實際上使那些聲音安靜下來，就像那些人在我的鳥中消失了一樣，它變得更安靜，這樣你就可以集中注意力。

It's easy for you to take in information.

你很容易接受資訊。

That's number one.

這是第一條。

Why do we do meditation?

我們為什麼要做冥想？

What would be another reason why we do meditation?

我們做冥想的另一個原因會是什麼？

Well, we've got quieting the brain.

好吧，我們已經有了讓大腦安靜下來的方法。

The other thing we've got is something called the prefrontal cortex.

我們得到的另一個東西是叫做前額葉皮層的東西。

I know big words, prefrontal cortex, you can think pre is before front is here.

我知道大詞，前額皮層，你可以認為前是在前是在這裡。

And as part of your brain well, meditation helps to strengthen that area of the brain.

而作為你大腦的一部分嘛，冥想有助於加強大腦的這一區域。

And when it does that it allows us to concentrate more.

而當它這樣做的時候，它可以讓我們更加集中精力。

So not only is it quieter, we actually build it up so we can get better concentration, which is exactly what we need when we're studying.

是以，它不僅更安靜，我們實際上是在建立它，以便我們能夠獲得更好的注意力，這正是我們在學習時需要的。

Okay, that's pretty cool.

好的，這很不錯。

I think he's getting something out of the tree now we're gonna go to number three, What else does meditation do for us?

我認為他從樹上得到了一些東西，現在我們要去看第三條，冥想還能為我們做什麼？

Well it reduces stress in reducing stress?

那麼它在減少壓力的時候能不能減少壓力？

What happens?

會發生什麼？

It's funny about stress.

關於壓力，這很有趣。

Stress is something we do need.

壓力是我們確實需要的東西。

We get a little bit stressed when we're actually doing any activity and it helps us remember things.

我們在實際做任何活動時都會有一點壓力，這有助於我們記住事情。

That's why we get stressed because we get emotional when you have emotions and you mix them with something you're doing.

這就是為什麼我們會有壓力，因為當你有情緒，並且把它們與你正在做的事情混在一起時，我們就會有情緒。

You tend to remember remember that great party you went to last week?

你往往會記得記得你上週去的那個很棒的聚會？

It's a great party.

這是一個偉大的聚會。

Oh that's beautiful.

哦，真漂亮。

It's a great party because you had fun.

這是一個偉大的聚會，因為你玩得很開心。

So you recall all the information, you remember where people were standing, what was going on?

所以你記得所有的資訊，你記得人們站在哪裡，發生了什麼事？

Okay.

好的。

But if you have too much stress like you're driving and cars are coming anywhere.

但如果你有太多的壓力，就像你在開車，汽車在任何地方都會出現。

It's hard to remember anything We call it a blur.

很難記住什麼 我們稱之為模糊。

You don't remember anything clearly because it was too much.

你不清楚地記得任何事情，因為那是太多了。

Well meditation helps to reduce that stress so we can improve our memory.

那麼冥想有助於減少這種壓力，所以我們可以改善我們的記憶。

Cool.

酷。

Nice.

不錯。

Another thing it does is it helps us with energy production and you might say how energy.

它的另一個作用是幫助我們產生能量，你可能會說怎麼會有能量。

Well that's another thing about stress which we've done 123.

好吧，這是另一件關於壓力的事情，我們已經做了123。

This would be number four.

這將是第四項。

Um It helps us because it helps us release stress from the body.

嗯，它有助於我們，因為它幫助我們釋放身體的壓力。

So we have more energy when you are stressed out you get really tight when you release you allow your blood to move a little bit more efficiently goes through the body better which carries energy for us and oxygen which we need to supply our brains with so we can think better.

是以，我們有更多的能量，當你有壓力時，你會變得非常緊張，當你釋放時，你允許你的血液更有效地移動一點，更好地通過身體，為我們攜帶能量和氧氣，我們需要供應我們的大腦，以便我們可以更好地思考。

Okay number five, which is really cool, meditation helps you sleep.

好的第五項，這真的很酷，冥想有助於你的睡眠。

What well if you meditate during the day, you will get to bed foster at night.

如果你在白天打坐，晚上就能養精蓄銳地上床睡覺，這有什麼好的。

Sleep is sorry.

睡眠是遺憾的。

That's number five by the way.

順便說一下，那是第五個。

In case we lost count.

為了防止我們失去計數。

Sleep is incredibly important for almost everything we do.

睡眠對我們所做的幾乎所有事情都非常重要。

People don't talk about it enough because some people are on what we call the grind and they're trying to work really hard all the time saying I get two hours sleep.

人們沒有充分談論這個問題，因為有些人在我們所說的磨練中，他們試圖一直非常努力地工作，說我只睡了兩個小時。

So I work so hard.

所以我很努力地工作。

It's like, no, you want to get some sleep actually because if you don't sleep, your body doesn't rebuild itself and during sleep we actually get our memories are made better.

這就像，不，你想得到一些睡眠，實際上，因為如果你不睡覺，你的身體不會自我重建，在睡眠期間，我們實際上得到我們的記憶是更好。

Um We can actually take things we've done from today and yesterday and they're put together two for greater understanding and what's language.

嗯，我們實際上可以把我們今天和昨天做的事情，它們放在一起二是為了更好地理解和什麼是語言。

If you go, man and hand french hand.

如果你去了，人和手法手。

Boom, right, We need to put two things together that we actually don't really.

嘣，對了，我們需要把兩件事情放在一起，其實我們並沒有真正的。

There's no direct association.

沒有直接的關聯。

Uh the sword son, son, we put it together when you're sleeping, This is what happens.

呃......兒子，兒子，我們把它放在一起，當你睡覺的時候，這就是發生的事情。

So you need that.

所以你需要這個。

And meditation helps you get into deeper rates of sleep.

而冥想有助於你進入更深的睡眠率。

Pretty cool.

相當酷。

Huh?

嗯？

Okay, so now look, I've given you five ways that meditation can help you learn and in case you didn't put it together, giving you more energy relaxes the body less stress in the brain so that the brain can actually concentrate prefrontal cortex strengthen that region of the brain.

好了，現在看，我已經給了你五種方法，冥想可以幫助你學習，如果你沒有把它放在一起，給你更多的能量放鬆身體減少大腦中的壓力，這樣大腦實際上可以集中前額葉皮質加強大腦的那個區域。

That actually helps us focus quiets the mind so we can take in the information and then it gives us that great night's sleep.

這實際上有助於我們集中精力，使頭腦安靜下來，以便我們能夠接受資訊，然後讓我們有一個良好的睡眠。

All of these things are required for learning, learning anything and especially languages.

所有這些東西都是學習的需要，學習任何東西，尤其是語言。

Now I gave you a test retest before.

現在，我之前給了你一個測試複試。

即使是你不喜歡的東西，這導致了第二條，不要評判任何聲音。

Sometimes people say I like the sound, I don't like the sound.

有時人們說我喜歡這個聲音，我不喜歡這個聲音。

Don't judge them.

不要評判他們。

They're just sounds okay.

他們只是聽起來還不錯。

Number three tell that voice in your head to shut up, that's the one telling you what's a good sound, what's a bad sound?

第三，告訴你腦子裡的那個聲音，讓它閉嘴，就是那個告訴你什麼是好聲音，什麼是壞聲音的人。

If you can do that and don't say shut up, just say thank you very much and then just go back to listening until eventually all you hear is sounds nothing else.

如果你能做到這一點，不要說閉嘴，只是說非常感謝你，然後就繼續聽，直到最後你聽到的只是聲音，沒有別的。

Okay, so the buddha has a quote on on meditation and he talks about minding your thoughts because you become now it's not a direct quote, I'm sorry, on that one he said, minding your thoughts like be careful of how you're thinking because what you think you become and the value of meditation is you get to choose what you're going to think.

好的，所以佛陀有一句關於冥想的名言，他說要注意你的想法，因為你會變成現在的樣子，這不是直接引用的，對不起，他說，注意你的想法，比如要小心你的思維方式，因為你想什麼就會變成什麼，冥想的價值在於你可以選擇你要想什麼。

You get to choose how you're going to think and then you get to choose who you're gonna become.

你可以選擇你要如何思考，然後你可以選擇你要成為誰。
