Virtually every day we are required to remember a name, a face, a number, or some other piece of information. For many people it is a struggle. It no longer needs to be so – here is a list of ten great tips to improving your memory.
幾乎每一天，我們都必須記住一個(gè)名字，一張臉，一個(gè)數(shù)字或者一些其它的信息。對于很多人來說十分痛苦。以下清單是提高你的記憶的10個(gè)技巧，好好運(yùn)用，你將不再為記不住信息而苦惱。
10.Patterns
10.模式法
An excellent way to remember a large number or phrase, is to look for patterns. Here is a simple example:3810151722242931363843
一個(gè)記住一長串?dāng)?shù)字或者詞組的最好方法，是尋找它的模式。下面是個(gè)例子：3810151722242931363843
The number appears to be random until you realize that it is following a pattern: add 5, then add 2, repeat. Once you know the pattern, you only need to remember the first number in the sequence. This can be a useful way to create a numeric password that changes regularly. Another way to use this system is to remember the numbers in the form of a numerical keyboard. You can use your spatial awareness to remember the number rather than just blind memorizing.
這組數(shù)字看起來是隨機(jī)的，但你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它其實(shí)是有個(gè)模式的：加5，然后加2，再重復(fù)。一旦你發(fā)現(xiàn)了它的模式，你只需要記住這組序列的第一個(gè)數(shù)字。這對于創(chuàng)建一個(gè)定期更換的數(shù)字密碼非常有用。還有一個(gè)方式是記住數(shù)字中的一個(gè)數(shù)字鍵盤的形式。你可以運(yùn)用你的空間意識(shí)來記憶數(shù)字，而不是盲目的記憶。
9.Associations
9.關(guān)聯(lián)法
This is an excellent method for memorizing numbers. In this system, you associate portions of the number with a word that has some relation to it. For example:74736052007365
這是一種記憶數(shù)字的好方法。這種方法是，你將數(shù)字的一部分與一個(gè)相近的字相關(guān)聯(lián)。例如：74736052007365
Split the number up and make an association for each sequence. Doing so can give us a list like this: Jumbo Jet (747), XBox (360), Deck of Cards (52), James Bond (007), Days in the year (365). This method can again be used for passwords that are easy to remember. To help you remember your images, try to imagine a scene that incorporates all of the items. For example, you may see a calendar with a photograph of James Bond playing poker on his XBox on a private 747. Sounds weird, but it works.
把數(shù)字拆分，并且把每個(gè)序列相關(guān)聯(lián)。這樣做之后我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)：噴氣客機(jī)（747），XBOX（360），撲克（52），詹姆斯邦德（007），一年時(shí)間（365）。這種方法同樣適用于記憶密碼。為了幫助你記憶圖像，試著想象一個(gè)包含了其中所有的東西畫面。例如，你可以想象一個(gè)日歷，畫著詹姆斯邦德在私人飛機(jī)（747）上玩XBox，聽上去很扯，但這很有用。
8.Alphabetize
8.字母順序法
We are all very familiar with the system of alphabetization – we see it every day in phone books, online directories, and a variety of other places. If you have a list of words to remember, put them into alphabetical order. If you wanted to learn a very long list – such as the States of the USA, start with one state per letter. Once you have that memorized, go back and add another state for each letter. Repeat until the whole list is stored in your mind. You would be surprised how much more effective this is than just trying to remember the whole list in one go.
我們和字母順序排列系統(tǒng)息息相關(guān)——我們每天都會(huì)看到它，在電話本、網(wǎng)上字典和其他地方。如果我們需要記憶一系列詞語，把它們放到字母順序表中。如果你想要記憶一個(gè)列表——比如美國所有的州，從一個(gè)州的每個(gè)字母開始。一旦你記住了，從頭再來以及另外一個(gè)州的每個(gè)字母。重復(fù)記憶直到整個(gè)列表都記住了。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這種記憶方法要比一氣呵成的記住整個(gè)列表要有效的多。
7.Categorize
7.分類法
In a way, alphabetizing is categorizing, but with this method you can go a lot further. If you have a big list of things to remember, you can find similarities and group them. For example a shopping list:Apples, Shampoo, Cheese, Milk, Sugar, Bananas, Soap, Coconut, Flour
在某種程度上，按字母排列就是分類，但這種方法更為深遠(yuǎn)一些。如果你有很多東西需要記憶，你可以尋找相似處然后組成一類。例如購物清單：蘋果、洗發(fā)水、奶酪、牛奶、糖、香蕉、香皂、椰子、面粉
Now, reorder them into categories and we have this:Fruit: Apples, Bananas; Dried Goods: Coconut, Sugar, Flour; Dairy: Milk, Cheese; Bathroom: Shampoo, Soap
現(xiàn)在把它們分類：水果：蘋果、香蕉；干貨：椰子、面粉、糖；乳制品：奶酪、牛奶；洗浴用品：洗發(fā)水、香皂
Another great way to remember your categories (especially in the case of a shopping list) is to remember your categories in the order that they are found in the supermarket. For example, if your first aisle is Fruit, remember the fruit first and think of the fruit aisle while you are doing so.
還有一個(gè)記憶分類的方法（特別是這種購物清單）是記憶你分類的順序以便在超市中找到。比如，第一個(gè)過道的分類是水果，就記住水果是第一個(gè)，在你買的過程中想一下賣水果的區(qū)域。
6.Chunking
6.分塊記憶法
Chunking is such a useful method of remembering things that we all use it every day. The best example is telephone numbers. When we are told a phone number we have to remember we chunk it up – usually into area code – 3 digits – four digits. This is not out of conformity – it is because it is the most effective way to remember such random numbers. This is also an excellent way to remember long sequences like pi to n digits. Taking just four extra digits a day you can easily remember pi to many decimal places. Great for a party trick.
分塊記憶是我們每天最常用的記憶方法。最好的例子就是電話號(hào)碼。當(dāng)別人告訴我們一個(gè)電話號(hào)碼，我們會(huì)把它分塊——通常是區(qū)號(hào)——3個(gè)數(shù)字——4個(gè)數(shù)字。這個(gè)不是整合——因?yàn)檫@是最有效記憶隨機(jī)數(shù)字的方法。這也是記憶一長串?dāng)?shù)字的好方法，比如記憶圓周率的n位數(shù)字。每天只需要記住4位數(shù)字，你就能記住圓周率小數(shù)點(diǎn)后很多位數(shù)字。這是聚會(huì)上可以展示的小把戲。
