叫醒大腦，提高你的記憶力
夏天一到，人就容易犯困，但休息不足在加上天氣悶熱時，人的整個狀態就會有所下降，相應的，記憶力也會變得有些弱。怎樣提高記憶力，雙語閱讀，聽聽國外專家的意見。
Forget to send that email? Return a call? Meet a deadline? If you chalk up memory mishaps to having too much to think about, you might be making excuses. “We all have a good memory; the problem is no one taught us how to use it,” says four-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis.
忘記發郵件了?忘記回電話?到了截止日期才想起來有任務沒有完成?如果你把記憶錯誤歸結為有太多的事情要考慮，你可能在找借口。“我們都有很好的記憶力;問題是沒有人教會我們如何使用它，”四次獲得美國記憶冠軍尼爾森?戴利斯（Nelson Dellis）說。
MAKE IT EXCITING
將要記住的事情變得有趣
One of the best ways to boost your memory is to take advantage of what the brain is naturally good at: remembering the extraordinary. “Most people can recall a traumatic or memorable event,” says Dellis. “It’s not some sort of super human memory; in those instances, there was something special and our brains absorb that better. Ninety percent of your day is non-interesting; you need to turn it into something memorable.”
提高記憶力的最好方法之一就是利用大腦天生擅長的東西:記住不同尋常的東西。“大多數人都能回憶起創傷或難忘的事情，”Dellis說。“這不是某種超級人類記憶;在那些情況下，有一些特別的東西，我們的大腦吸收的更好。你每天90%的時間都不是很有趣;你需要把它變成值得紀念的東西。”
“Give it a color and make it as real as possible,” says Dellis. “If you want to remember a name, come up with picture of what the word could represent.”
USE A MEMORY PALACE
使用記憶宮殿
Dellis’s most tried-and-true technique is creating a memory palace, which involves creating pictures and memorizing them along a path through a space that you know well, such as your home or office. “You could probably walk through with your eyes closed,” he says. “If you want to remember grocery items, link each one to that space.”
Dellis最可靠的方法是創建一個記憶宮殿，它包括在你熟悉的地方(比如你的家或辦公室)中創建圖片和記憶。“你可以閉著眼睛走過去，”他說。“如果你想記住食品雜貨，把每一件都鏈接到那個地方。”
LINK THINGS
將事情關聯起來
Another memory tool is using a linking method. “You’re still coming up with pictures, but the way you store them is different,” he says. “A linked list connects each item to the next, so it’s a narrative.”
另一個工具是使用關聯法。他說:“你還在拍照片，但你儲存照片的方式不同。”“一個鏈表將每個項目連接到下一個，連起來就是一個故事。”
“The more bizarre, over the top, hilarious, or vulgar it is, the easier it is to remember,” says Dellis. “We remember things that are truly out of the ordinary.”
Dellis說:“越奇怪，越搞笑，或者粗俗，就越容易記住。”“我們記得那些真正與眾不同的東西。”
GET READY FOR INFORMATION
隨時準備接受信息
A lot of memory is about paying attention. “It sounds obvious, but we live in a day when our attention span is very fickle, because there’s so much coming at us all the time,” says Dellis. “Force yourself to be laser-focused on one thing at a time.”
很多記憶都是需要集中注意力的。“這聽起來很明顯，但在日常生活中，我們的注意力持續時間很短，因為每時每刻都有很多信息涌來，”Dellis說。“強迫自己一次只專注于一件事。”
“This process, as insignificant as it seems, does wonders,” he says. “You’re not thinking about what to say or noticing something across the room. You’re paying attention to the person in front of you, getting ready to accept their name.”

“給它一個顏色，讓它盡可能真實，”Dellis說。“如果你想記住一個名字，可以想象一下這個詞可以代表什么。”

他說:“這個過程雖然看起來微不足道，但卻能創造奇跡。”你不是在想該說什么或注意到房間對面的什么東西。你在關注你面前的人，準備認真聽他們的名字。
