聰明人都這樣!
You're smarter !
You can connect seemingly unrelated concepts
超凡的聯想能力
Several Quora users suggested that smart people are able to see patterns where others can't. That's because they can draw parallels between seemingly disparate ideas.
一些Quora用戶指出,聰明人能夠看到其他人看不到的模式。那是因為他們能找到兩個看似不沾邊的想法的相通之處。
As April Astoria notes: "You think there's no relation between sashimi and watermelon? You'd be wrong. Both are typically eaten raw and cold."
就像阿普里爾•愛斯托利亞所說:“你認為生魚片和西瓜之間沒有關系?你錯了,這兩樣東西都可以冰鎮后生吃。”
Interestingly, journalist Charles Duhigg argues that making these kinds of connections is a hallmark of creativity (which can be closely linked to intelligence). Duhigg studied the process through which Disney developed their hit movie Frozen and concluded that the movie only seems clever and original because it "takes old ideas and pushes them together in new ways".
有趣的是,記者查爾斯•杜希格認為,建立這種聯系是創造力的標志,而創造力也和智商緊密相關。杜希格研究了迪斯尼的大熱影片《冰雪奇緣》的制作過程,并得出結論說,這部電影給人感覺機智又新穎是因為它“把老故事重新組合”。
【知識點講解】
link to 與…連接, 聯系;
例句:
The Alumnae Association is my link to the school's present administration.
女校友協會是我和現在學校行政部門之間的紐帶
Broadly, it makes connections between ideas about healing and how they link to plants.
籠統說來,它將治療理念和如何與醫療設備相結合聯系了起來。
But one link to the past remains -- Dante's Down the Hatch.
但是仍然有一個與過去聯系的環節 —— 丹特開設的“干杯”.
