The last characteristic which I think is the most fundamental one is to accept much of the responsibility for learning.
最后一個特點，也是我認為的最基本的特點，就是接受大部分的學習責任。
Active learners understand that the responsibility for learning must come from within,
主動學習者明白學習的責任必須來自于內心，
while passive learners often want to blame others for their lack of motivation, poor performance, time-management problems, and other difficulties that they might experience.
而被動學習者往往要將缺乏動力、表現欠佳、時間管理等問題以及其他可能遇到的其他困難歸咎于別人。
When active learners don't perform as well as they'd hoped, they evaluate why they didn't do well and change those studying behaviors the next time.
當主動學習者表現不如意時，他們就會評估自己表現不好的原因，并且改變那些不好的學習行為。
Passive learners, on the other hand, often approach every course in the same manner and then get angry with professors when their performance is poor.
而被動學習者以同樣的方式學習一門課，自己表現不好的時候，他們會生教授的氣。
It is only when students accept the responsibility for their own learning that they can truly be called "active learners".
只有接受了自己的學習責任，學生才能真正被稱為“主動學習者”。
So, from what I've said so far, you can see that being an active learner involves both skill and will.
所以，我說了這么多，你可以看到，做一個主動學習者需要技能和意志。
By skill, I mean the tools to handle the studying and learning demands placed on you, like how to read with purpose, when and where to get assistance if you are having difficulty;
技巧指的是完成研究和學習任務的方法，比如如何閱讀，遇到困難何時求助，向誰求助；
by will, I mean the desire and motivation to follow through.
意志，是指學習的愿望和去實現這個愿望的動力。
Here I'd like to emphasize that skill is nothing without will.
在這里，我想強調的是，沒有意志，技巧是毫無意義的。
For example, you may have a friend who is knowledgeable, but not motivated in the classroom.
例如，你可能有一個知識淵博的朋友，但在課堂上卻沒有學習的動力。
Even though he reads widely and can intelligently discuss a variety of issues, he does little school work and rarely studies.
盡管他見多識廣，但他不怎么做作業，也很少做研究。
In other words, students such as these may have the skills to do well, but for some reason, they simply do not have the will.
換句話說，像這樣的學生可能有能力做得很好，但出于某種原因，他們根本沒有意志力。
And because skill and will go hand in hand, unmotivated students — those who do not have the will, may experience difficulty in college.
而由于技能和意志缺一不可，沒有動力的學生，也就是那些沒有意志的學生，在大學里可能會遇到困難。
Ok. Today we've discussed the differences between an active learner and a passive one, and some useful study strategies that may eventually help you become an active learner.
好的。今天我們討論了主動學習者和被動學習者之間的區別，以及一些有用的學習策略，希望這些策略最終會幫助你成為一個積極的學習者。
