You learn a new English word today and by next week it's gone.

你今天學了一個新的英文單字，結果下週就忘了。

現在進行式

And even if you do remember it, somehow it never comes out of your mouth when you're speaking.

就算你記得，但奇怪的是，當你說話時，它就是說不出口。

That's because there's a big difference between the words you understand and the words you can actually use.

這是因為你理解的詞彙和你實際能用的詞彙之間，有很大的差異。

And our goal isn't to eliminate this gap completely, but

我們的目標不是要完全消除這個差距，而是

to make it smaller so so more of the words you know actually show up in your speaking and writing.

要讓它縮小，這樣你認識的詞彙就能更多地出現在你的口語和寫作中。

So in this video I'm going to share the exact strategies I used to learn over 10,000 words in English to reach the level I have right now.

所以在這個影片中，我會分享我用來學習超過一萬個英文單字，達到我現在這個程度的確切策略。

嗨，朋友們，歡迎回到我的頻道。

On this channel I share science backed strategies and personal experience to help you become fluent in English and learn languages in a more enjoyable way.

在這個頻道，我會分享有科學根據的策略和個人經驗，幫助你更流暢地說英文，並以更愉快的方式學習語言。

And if you want to take your learning a little further, check out the links below because I have my language learning corner and notion template to organize your studies and keep track of all of the vocabulary you're learning.

如果你想讓學習更進一步，可以看看下面的連結，因為我有我的語言學習角落和 Notion 範本，可以整理你的學習，並追蹤你學到的所有詞彙。

And my self paced course, the Language Mastery Program to help you understand the science of language learning.

還有我的自學課程「語言精通計畫」，幫助你瞭解語言學習的科學。

Alright, so let's first talk about the difference between passive and active vocabulary.

好的，那我們先來談談被動詞彙和主動詞彙的差別。

Because when it comes to growing our vocabulary and memorizing new words, we really have to understand this one thing here.

因為在擴充我們的詞彙量和記憶新單字時，我們真的必須瞭解這一點。

We all have a larger passive vocabulary than active vocabulary and it will always be this way.

我們所有人的被動詞彙都比主動詞彙多，而且永遠都會是這樣。

Even native speakers understand more words than they can confidently produce.

即使是母語人士，他們理解的單字也比他們能自信說出來的單字多。

Passive vocabulary includes all of the words that you can recognize or understand when you come across them.

被動詞彙包含所有你遇到時能夠辨識或理解的單字。

Even if you don't really use this word when you speak, but

即使你說話時沒有真的用到這個單字，

you still know what this word means, it becomes a part of all of the words that you know.

但只要你還知道這個單字的意思，它就成為你所有認識的單字的一部分。

And your active vocabulary consists of the words that you can confidently use when you're speaking or writing.

而你的主動詞彙則包含你說話或寫作時能自信使用的單字。

And so yes, when we're working on memorizing and acquiring new words, we are trying to make this gap between your passive vocabulary and your active vocabulary smaller.

所以，當我們在努力記憶和學習新單字時，我們試圖縮小你的被動詞彙和主動詞彙之間的差距。

But we're not trying to get rid of this gap because it is not possible.

但我們不會試圖消除這個差距，因為這是不可能的。

Before we start talking about a big memory challenge that prevents us from retaining new vocabulary, I want to quickly share a tool that I have been using in my research, Merlin AI.

在我們開始討論一個阻礙我們記住新詞彙的重大記憶挑戰之前，我想快速分享一個我在研究中使用的工具，Merlin AI。

It's basically an all in one AI platform that gives you access to all of the major models, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, without paying for each one separately.

它基本上是一個全能的 AI 平臺，讓你無需額外付費就能使用所有主要的模型，像是 ChatGPT、Claude、Gemini。

Instead of $20 a month for just one AI, with Merlin you get access to all of them and after using my discount code, it comes out to around $5 a month.

與其一個 AI 每月付 20 美元，使用 Merlin 並輸入我的折扣碼後，每月大約只需 5 美元。

I used it when putting this video together.

我在製作這支影片時就用了它。

For example, I asked Merlyn AI to help you understand why we forget new words in English so quickly and how to work with our memory in the most efficient way.

例如，我請 Merlin AI 協助你理解為什麼我們這麼快就忘記英文新單字，以及如何用最有效的方式來運用我們的記憶。

我很喜歡它速度很快、介面簡潔，而且

it doesn't lock you into a single model so you can explore all of them.

它不會讓你被綁定在單一模型上，你可以盡情探索所有模型。

另一個我超喜歡的功能是「專案」。

You can organize all of your research, your notes, your custom prompts in one place.

你可以把所有的研究、筆記、自訂提示詞都整理在同一個地方。

It keeps everything very easy to revisit, which makes it much less overwhelming than using 10 different tools.

這樣一切都很容易回顧，比用十種不同的工具來得輕鬆多了，不會那麼讓人不知所措。

If you want to give it a try, you can use my link in the description and my discount code to get 75% off.

如果你想試試看，可以用我影片說明裡的連結，搭配我的折扣碼，就能享有七五折優惠。

Huge thank you to Merlin AI for sponsoring today's video.

非常感謝 Merlin AI 贊助今天的影片。

Alright, so now let's talk about this one big memory challenge that explains why we forget new words so easily.

好了，那我們現在就來聊聊這個導致我們這麼容易忘記新單字的一大記憶挑戰。

Herbin Ebbinghaus, a 19th century memory researcher, showed that if we don't review the information we learn, we will forget a portion of it within hours or days of memorizing it.

十九世紀的記憶研究者赫爾曼．艾賓浩斯發現，如果我們不複習學到的資訊，我們會在記憶後的幾小時或幾天內忘記其中一部分。

He basically explained that our memory doesn't work like this.

他基本上解釋了我們的記憶並不是這樣運作的。

You know, you see a new and then you remember it forever.

你知道，你看到一個新東西然後就永遠記住了。

I wish, in fact, our memory, because of the forgetting curve, it works exactly like this.

事實上，我們的記憶，因為遺忘曲線的關係，它就是這樣運作的。

You learn a new word and then the process of forgetting begins.

你學了一個新單字，然後遺忘的過程就開始了。

And this process is actually extremely fast.

Essentially, it's like right after you learn a new word in English, the clock starts ticking on how quickly you'll forget it unless you reinforce it.

基本上，就像你剛學會一個英文單字後，時鐘就開始倒數，除非你加強，否則你會多快忘記它。

That is exactly why everyone always tells you that cramming does doesn't work.

這就是為什麼大家總是告訴你死記硬背沒用。

You know, sure, you can cram before an exam, and

你知道，當然，你可以在考試前死記硬背，然後

then the next morning you wake up, you go, you pass your exam and everything is great.

第二天早上醒來，你去考，考過了，一切都很順利。

But in reality, you haven't actually internalized all of this knowledge because you kind of crammed all of this in one go and then, sure, the next morning you still remember some of it, but

但實際上，你並沒有真正內化所有這些知識，因為你是一口氣把它們塞進去的，然後，當然，第二天早上你還是記得其中一些，但是

then a month later, two months later, because you don't actively reinforce all of this knowledge, you forget everything.

一個月後、兩個月後，因為你沒有主動加強這些知識，你就會忘記一切。

Okay, so now let's actually talk about all of the strategies to reinforce all of these words and to fight the forgetting curve and to showcase the strategies.

好的，那我們現在就來聊聊所有加強這些詞彙、對抗遺忘曲線的策略，並展示這些策略。

I'm going to be using an example of a person who really likes surfing.

我要用一個非常喜歡衝浪的人來當例子。

就像這是他們最大的興趣一樣。

I have found this video about surfing on YouTube that a person who is interested in surfing is probably going to be interested in watching.

我在 YouTube 上找到一個關於衝浪的影片，一個對衝浪有興趣的人很可能會想看。

So the first strategy is building your personal vocabulary.

所以第一個策略是建立你個人的詞彙。

Think instead of trying to memorize random lists of words that you see online.

與其試著死記硬揹你在網路上看到的隨機單字列表，不如這樣想。

Just ask yourself what you like to do every single day.

像是，你的一天是什麼樣子的？

And all of those things are going to be a part of your personalized vocabulary.

而所有這些東西都會成為你個人化詞彙的一部分。

然後你就可以針對這些主題深入學習。

You increase immersion, you increase comprehensible input.

你會增加沉浸感，增加可理解的輸入。

And so the same words that you need to know, they will repeat naturally.

同樣的，那些你需要知道的單字，它們會自然地重複出現。

Let's say the person who really likes surfing, their personal vocabulary bank is going to be very different from a person who really likes AI.

假設一個很喜歡衝浪的人，他的個人詞彙庫會跟一個很喜歡AI的人非常不一樣。

And that is okay, because we're all different.

這完全沒關係，因為我們每個人都不一樣。

The most important thing is creating your own personal vocabulary bank.

最重要的是建立你自己的個人詞彙庫。

Repetition will be possible because you're going to be constantly watching YouTube videos about the things that you like, reading books or listening to podcasts.

重複會變得可能，因為你會不斷地觀看你喜歡的事物的 YouTube 影片、閱讀書籍或收聽 Podcast。

All of these words are going to be retained in your memory because they're connected to the context of your self, of the things that you do every single day.

這些詞彙都會被保留在你的記憶中，因為它們與你自身的情境、你每天做的那些事情連結在一起。

You know, these words are going to be associated with specific places, specific people, or maybe specific emotions that you were experiencing while practicing something that you really like.

你知道嗎，這些詞彙都會跟特定的地點、特定的人，或是你在練習喜歡的事物時，所經歷的特定情緒連結在一起。

Let's say from this vlog that I have chosen to show you guys about surfing, from this vlog video alone, you can learn words like longboard, short board, gopro, wetsuit, wax, my board, current wave, break.

假設從我選擇要給你們看的這支關於衝浪的 vlog 影片裡，光是這支影片，你就可以學到像 longboard、short board、gopro、wetsuit、wax、my board、current wave、break 這些詞彙。

If this sport is a part of your life, you will need to use these words constantly, every single day.

如果這項運動是你生活的一部分，你每天都會不斷地用到這些詞彙。

Now, let's move on to this next strategy, using thematic islands.

現在，我們來看看下一個策略，使用主題式群組。

The principle here is, instead of trying to memorize random words, you're trying to memorize clusters of related words together, like a single theme that all of these words are connected to.

這裡的原則是，與其試著記住隨機的單字，不如試著將相關的詞彙群組一起記住，就像一個所有詞彙都連結在一起的單一主題。

This way, all of this vocabulary is going to be connected in your brain like small little islands of vocabulary, instead of being just, like, completely random.

這樣一來，這些詞彙都會在你腦中連結成小小的詞彙群島，而不是完全隨機的。

And so because of that, it's going to be easier for you to recall them when you're speaking, when you're writing, when you actually need to use them.

是以，當你說話、寫作，或是真的需要用到它們的時候，會更容易回想起來。

Again, let's say from this YouTube video, a big theme that we can notice here is surfboards.

再說一次，假設從這支 YouTube 影片裡，我們可以注意到的其中一個大主題是衝浪板。

And so you can notice some words that are connected to this topic.

所以你可以注意到一些跟這個主題相關的詞彙。

Or maybe you can ask ChatGPT to help you create a specific theme.

或者你也可以請 ChatGPT 幫你建立一個特定的主題。

And all of the words that are connected to this theme.

以及所有跟這個主題相關的詞彙。

Short board, longboard, leash, wax, paddle out, duck dive, wipeout.

短板、長板、腳繩、蠟、劃出、下潛、摔倒。

So now, instead of just memorizing one board, like shortboard, let's say you have a whole island that you can activate together, like all of the words that are connected to your surfing.

所以現在，與其只是記住一個板子，像是短板，假設你擁有一整座島，可以一起啟用，像是所有跟你的衝浪相關的詞彙。

And of course, all of this will actually start to click in your memory.

當然，這一切都會在你記憶中真正開始連結起來。

When you surround yourself with enough comprehensible input, you will see those words again and again and again.

當你讓自己沉浸在足夠的「可理解輸入」中，你會一次又一次地看到這些詞彙。

And that will really help you with retention.

這會對你的記憶留存非常有幫助。

why I talk about immersion so often, is that you are trying to internalize your vocabulary.

以及我為什麼經常談論沉浸式學習，是因為你試圖內化你的詞彙。

And basically what it means is you absorb a word so deeply that you can use it automatically without thinking.

基本上這意味著你吸收一個詞彙到非常深入的程度，讓你能夠自動使用它，無需思考。

There's also this really interesting phenomenon called Balder Meinhof phenomenon.

還有一個非常有趣的現象叫做巴德-邁因霍夫現象。

I really hope I'm pronouncing this correctly.

我真的很希望我發音是正確的。

What it basically means is your frequency illusion.

It's, you know, when you notice something for the first time, let's say a word, a word in English, you notice it, you memorize it, and

就是，你知道，當你第一次注意到某樣東西時，假設是一個詞，一個英文單詞，你注意到了它，你記住了它，然後

then you just see it everywhere for some reason.

你就因為某種原因到處都看到它。

And it just feels like everyone around you is using this word that you have just memorized.

然後你就會覺得周圍的每個人都在用你剛剛記住的這個詞。

It's because your brain tagged it as important.

這是因為你的大腦把它標記為重要的。

所以現在你到處都看到這個詞。

You notice it everywhere because your brain thinks it's important to notice this word.

你到處都注意到它，因為你的大腦認為注意到這個詞很重要。

The next strategy you can use is sentence mining.

你可以使用的下一個策略是句子挖掘。

And basically what it means is instead of trying to memorize words, you memorize phrases or sentences.

這基本上意味著，與其試圖記住單詞，不如記住詞組或句子。
