本篇文章是与脑力训练有关的,属于科普知识。慢速英语,语速正常。可以作为口译入门或基础英语听力口语听写的素材。大家快来挑战自己吧!
听写好了咩?
接下来,
我们来看看文本和答案吧:
Everybody knows that if you want to stay fit, you need to exercise.
众所周知,如果你想保持身体健康,就需要运动。
To increase flexibility, develop strength, and maintain balance, we need to challenge our bodies regularly.
为了增强柔韧性、提高力量并保持平衡,我们需要有规律的锻炼身体。
Makes sense, right?
这很有道理,对吧?
That said, not many of us apply the same knowledge when thinking about our brains but it works the same way!
尽管如此,当我们提起大脑训练时,并没有几个人持同样的观点,但其实这两种训练的方式是一样的。
Mental qualities like problem-solving, memory, focus, and attention span change over time, for better or worse.
心理素质,如解决问题、记忆力、专注力和注意力持续的时间会随着时间的推移而发生变化。
The good news is that brain training exercises can help you increase performance and fend off mental decline as you age.
好消息是大脑训练可以让你取得更好的成绩,并且随着年龄的增长,防止智力下降。
If you want to boost your brainpower, here are some simple things you can work into your day-to-day life!
如果你想提高脑力,可以在日常生活中做一些简单的活动。
Number 1 – Break A Strict Routine
第一 打破常规
A routine can help add structure to your life,
常规有助于让你的生活更加规律,
but emerging brain imaging studies revealed that brain activity decreases for automatic tasks, such as those associated with a routine.
但最新的大脑成像研究表明,处理默认任务时,大脑运动会减缓,比如与平日常规相关的任务。
Conversely, novel tasks show increased brain activity in several areas of the cortex.
相反,处理新任务时,显示大脑皮层若干区域的活动有所增加。
This means, changing up your routine is an easy way to increase your brainpower!
这意味着,改变你的日常生活方式,是提高脑力的一个简单方法。
解析在这里哦!
1. attention span,名词词组,表示“注意力的持续时间”,比如:Small children have a short attention span.(幼儿注意力持续时间短。)
2. brainpower,名词,表示“脑力、聪明才智”,比如:She admired Robert’s brainpower.(她仰慕罗伯特的聪明才智。)
3. routine,名词,表示“惯例、常规”,比如:The players had to change their daily routine and lifestyle.(这些运动员不得不改变他们的每日常规和生活方式。)
4. cortex,名词,表示“皮层”,比如:the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层)。
棒棒哒
