英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí):史上最糟糕的學(xué)習(xí)方法，你中招了嗎？

1.Don"t Get Out of Your Seat Until You"ve Learned Everything.

在學(xué)完所有內(nèi)容之前別離開你的座位。

Now this is just one of the worst study tips ever. And I"ve head well-meaning people use it over and over again. "Stick with it! If you sit down and stay focused until you know it all, you"ll get a better score." So people will try to do it. They"ll stay in their seats, sweating, hungry, thirsty and exhausted until their brains are no longer even processing information anymore. Better advice: Take breaks. Study for forty-five minutes and take a quick ten-minute break to regroup/find sustenance/use the john, etc. Breaks are your friends. Breaks will help you actually stay focused.

這已經(jīng)是目前最爛的學(xué)習(xí)建議之一。我卻對(duì)那些好心的人一次又一次地宣揚(yáng)過(guò)它：“堅(jiān)持下去！如果你坐下來(lái)，集中注意力，直到完成一切，你的成績(jī)會(huì)更上一層樓。”所以人們會(huì)去嘗試這個(gè)方法。他們坐在自己的位置上，渾身出汗，饑渴交加而又疲憊不堪，直到大腦再也不能處理信息為止。上上之策：休息。學(xué)習(xí)了四十五分鐘后，快速地休息十分鐘。你可以重組一下、吃點(diǎn)東西或者上個(gè)洗手間等等。休息是你的朋友，事實(shí)上它會(huì)幫助你集中注意力。

2.It Doesn"t Matter If You Cram.

死記硬背也沒關(guān)系。

Well sure, it does, if you"re actually interested in learning the material. If, however, you simply want to put the content into your short-term memory banks for the test, then it actually may not matter if you cram. But if you"re in it for the long-haul, and want to remember because you"re interested in retaining the knowledge, then cramming is the worst possible way to study. You need time and repetition to truly commit anything to your long-term memory unless your mind is a steel trap.

如果你對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)資料確實(shí)很感興趣，那么請(qǐng)不要這樣。但是，如果你只是為了應(yīng)付考試才想將內(nèi)容速記下來(lái)，那么死記硬背也沒關(guān)系。如果長(zhǎng)久地掌握它并記住它，因?yàn)槟銓?duì)鞏固知識(shí)很感興趣，那么死記硬背就是最糟糕的學(xué)習(xí)方法。你需要時(shí)間和重復(fù)來(lái)真正將所學(xué)形成長(zhǎng)期記憶，因?yàn)槟愕乃枷氩皇侵恍枰凰查g就能抓住獵物的捕獸夾。

3.Study With Your Best Friend.

和最好的朋友一起學(xué)習(xí)

No. Let"s repeat this. No. Studying with your best friend is just asking for trouble, especially if your friend is the goof-off type. You"ll end up playing basketball. Or gossiping. Or jumping off the roof into the swimming pool at three A.M. (Don"t ask.) But seriously, it"s not a great idea, even if your best friend is a great student. If you really want to study with a pal, go with someone who will help you stay on track and you aren"t going to be tempted to goof around with like...your mom. Not interested in studying with her?

不行，再重申一次，不行。和最好的朋友一起學(xué)習(xí)就是自尋煩惱，尤其是你的朋友屬于游手好閑型的時(shí)候。你們最后肯定是一起去打籃球、閑聊或者凌晨三點(diǎn)去游泳池玩跳水。認(rèn)真的說(shuō)，這確實(shí)不是個(gè)好主意，即使你的朋友是個(gè)優(yōu)等生。如果你真的想有個(gè)伴一起學(xué)習(xí)，你可以找那種能讓你堅(jiān)持下來(lái)，而且也不會(huì)讓你被*著開小差的人，例如······你老媽。和她一起提不起興趣么？

4.You Don"t Need To Learn Any Testing Strategies. Just Take the Test.

不需要學(xué)習(xí)任何的應(yīng)試策略，參加考試就好了。

Now that"s just a lie. Many people improve their tests scores by learning test-taking strategies and implementing them on test day. It makes sense! If you understand that your chances of getting an answer correct improves drastically if you can eliminate a couple of answers on a multiple-choice question, your score will be higher. And that is a strategy. There are dozens more for every possible test. Learn them. Do yourself a favor.

現(xiàn)在這只是一個(gè)謊言而已。很多人通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)試策略，并將之運(yùn)用到考試中就可以提高成績(jī)。這是行之有效的！如果你明白，如果能在多項(xiàng)選擇中排除兩個(gè)答案，那么得到正確答案的幾率也會(huì)大大上升，你的分?jǐn)?shù)也會(huì)更高。這就是策略。每場(chǎng)考試都有許多策略，學(xué)習(xí)一下，會(huì)對(duì)你有幫助的。

5. Study From Your Notes For a Final or Midterm.

研究期末或期中考試的筆記。

Sure, studying from your notes for a midterm or final is a good idea, but only if you combine those notes with quizzes, the book, and handouts in class. Let"s be honest. You may not be a perfect note-taker. You"ve probably missed a few things. If your teacher or professor doesn"t give you a test study guide, (or even if he or she does and you"re left to fill in the blanks), you"ll need a combination of everything you"ve received in class to ensure you have all the content you need to score your best.

確實(shí)，研究期中或期末的筆記是個(gè)好主意，但前提是你的將它們和課上的測(cè)驗(yàn)、書本和講義結(jié)合起來(lái)。坦白來(lái)說(shuō)，你可能不是一個(gè)特別擅長(zhǎng)做筆記的人。你很可能會(huì)遺漏一些東西。如果你的老師或教授沒有給你提供考試指南（或者說(shuō)提供了指南但你需要補(bǔ)充），那么你就需要把課堂上所有的內(nèi)容都結(jié)合起來(lái)，確保能覆蓋到所有讓你得高分的內(nèi)容。

6. Pull An All-Nighter If You Want To Ace Your Test.

要想考得好，就得通宵學(xué)習(xí)。

That"s probably the worst thing you can do if you want that elusive 100%. The smartest thing is to start early and study often (time and repetition being key to real learning), but your brain is going to malfunction if you show up to the test with a sleep deficit the size of Utah. Study late, but get to bed. Get at least seven hours of sleep if you want your brain to function normally. Otherwise, you"ll be in survival mode, having a difficult time keeping track of anything let alone what you were discussing in Part two of your essay test.

如果你想做到最好，這可能是你做的最糟糕的事了。最聰明的辦法就是早早開始，經(jīng)常練習(xí)（時(shí)間和重復(fù)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)至關(guān)重要）。但是，如果你在考試的時(shí)候極度犯困的話，你的大腦會(huì)停止運(yùn)作的。你可以學(xué)習(xí)得晚，但一定要睡覺。如果你想大腦正常運(yùn)作的話，就得至少休息七個(gè)小時(shí)。否則，你就會(huì)進(jìn)入生存模式，記什么都有困難，更不用談在作文測(cè)試第二部分討論的內(nèi)容了。
