Mr. Brown’s lectures are so boring.
布朗先生的課太無聊了。
Yes, he is not a very exciting speaker. But the subject is interesting.
是的,他不是一個很令人興奮的演講者。但是這個主題很有趣。
During every one of his lectures, I try to listen.

I really ty, but after about ten minutes, my mind begins to wander and I lose concentration.

How do you stay focused through the entire hour?
你如何在整個小時內保持注意力集中?
Well, what I do is keep my pen moving.
我要做的就是讓我的筆一直動。
What do you mean?
你具體指什么?
It’s a method of active concentration I read about.
這是我讀到過的一種積極專注的方法。
One of the most effective ways to concentrate is to write things down.
集中注意力最有效的方法之一就是把事情寫下來。
But it has to be done by hand, not typing on a keyboard.
但這必須手工完成,而不是在鍵盤上打字。
You see, writing by hand forces you to actually engage with what you are learning in a more physical way.
你看,手寫迫使你以一種更實際的方式參與你正在學習的東西。
Do you review your notes afterwards then?
之后你會復習筆記嗎?
Sometimes, but that’s not important.
有時會,這并不重要。
My notes may or may not be useful.
我的筆記可能有用,也可能沒用。
But the point is that by writing down what Mr. Brown says, I can follow his line of thinking more easily.

In fact, sometimes I draw a little too.
事實上,有時候我也會畫一點。
You draw in class? And that helps you pay attention?
你在課堂上畫畫?這能幫助你集中注意力嗎?
Yes, honesty, it works for me.
是的,坦白講,對我有用。
I just draw little lines and nonsense really.
我只是畫了幾條線,實際上沒什么意義。
It was also in that article I read.
我讀的那篇文章里也有。
It can keep the mind active, prevent getting bored and help to concentrate.
它可以保持思維活躍,防止無聊,幫助集中注意力。
Again, the point is to listen hard while keeping the pen moving.
再次強調,重點是在保持筆移動的同時要認真聽。
If I’m at home and I need to study, what I do is read out loud. It has a similar effect to writing by hand. It helps memorize information in a physical way.
如果我在家,我需要學習,我所做的就是大聲朗讀。這和手寫有相似的效果。它有助于以一種物理的方式記憶信息。
