　　How can we avoid forgetting what we have learned? Now I would like to give you four suggestions. Then I'll give you a bit explanation on each of them.

　　Suggestions

　　First, we need to learn words repeatedly with increasing intervals between learning sessions. Here, the most important term “increasing” intervals, 就是說這個(gè)間隔的時(shí)間要恰當(dāng)。I will explain it later. (按照適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間間隔來溫習(xí)新學(xué)的單詞。)

　　The second we should have the words. We have the words we want to learn with us whenever we go. So if we want to learn these words, we should have these words with us. So we can make full use of our time learning these words. (時(shí)時(shí)刻刻，利用邊邊角角的時(shí)間去復(fù)習(xí)生詞。)

　　The third is set aside a regular time for vocabulary learning. (留出專門的時(shí)間用于單詞學(xué)習(xí)。)

　　The last one, spend more time on the words you find difficult. All these suggestions are not new to you, I guess. But you might find something new later. (對(duì)疑難詞匯進(jìn)行重點(diǎn)攻關(guān)。)

　　Suggestion One

　　Ok. The first one. Increasing intervals. Now research in psychology shows that we do not forget things gradually. You see a psychologist did research. Most of our forgetting occurs within 20 minutes after we have first learned something. More is forgotten with one hour. Still more within 8 hours. After 8 hours, the rate of forgetting stays surprisingly steady. You see, we do not forget things gradually, bit by bit. Bit by bit. It’s not the case. So we forget more in the first 8 hours. (心理學(xué)研究者做過一個(gè)測(cè)試：我們最易遺忘的時(shí)間段是我們接觸新知識(shí)后的頭20分鐘。之后的1個(gè)小時(shí)我們又會(huì)忘記一些，然后8小時(shí)內(nèi)又忘記一些。過了8小時(shí)，我們的遺忘速度就會(huì)趨于穩(wěn)定。也就是說，遺忘是一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)發(fā)生的，前8個(gè)小時(shí)忘得最快。)

　　So what should we do? What should we do? And actually, I will suggest you should do revision everyday when you first learn the new words. And then you may spend some time review the words once in a week. Then later on, once in a month. So increasing intervals, I mean you learn frequently at the very beginning. Then gradually, you can delay a little bit. The interval is longer and longer. But still you have to review them. Now this is the first suggestion. Increasing intervals. (針對(duì)這種遺忘規(guī)律，文教授提議：接觸新單詞之后，起初反復(fù)記憶，然后逐步拉長(zhǎng)復(fù)習(xí)的時(shí)間間隔。)

　　Suggestion Two

　　The second suggestion is make full use of “dead” time. Dead. Why I use the word in the quotation marks? The “dead” time. Now when I say “dead” time, I mean those time is not useful any more. You know, when you are walking on the way, when you are in a bus, when you are, let me see, when you are lying on the bed before you sleep. All these time can’t be used for very important things. But you can make full use of “dead” time to learn some words. And you can use your vocabulary notebook, you can use your electronic dictionary, just very small, learn few words every day. Every day. Try to use this kind of time learning words, eventually your vocabulary will be expanding quickly. (利用一切可以利用的時(shí)間。行走中，公車上，睡覺前......這些相對(duì)來說不能做重要事情的時(shí)間段，你就可以分心用來背單詞。一天記幾個(gè)，積少成多，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的單詞量突飛猛進(jìn)。)

　　You do not need whole day learning vocabulary. Don’t do in this way. And you may use just small amount of time every day. Let’s say, in the morning, 20 minutes, in the afternoon, 20 minutes, in the evening, 20 minutes. Suppose you want to spend one hour, you’d better separate it into three sessions, 20 minutes each. Suppose you want to learn vocabulary half an hour a day, maybe you’d better divide them into two sections, 15 minutes a section. Don’t put them together. (不要成天成宿地背單詞，花費(fèi)大段大段的時(shí)間記單詞會(huì)降低學(xué)習(xí)效率。如果你每天計(jì)劃利用1個(gè)小時(shí)背單詞，那么就把這1個(gè)小時(shí)拆分成早、中、晚三部分，每次安排20分鐘背單詞。)

　　And then every day you learn a little bit. Then eventually, at the end of the week, you have spent about half an hour putting all these words together, go over them. Later I will mention, don’t go over all the words. You have to select some of them to focus your attention. Now electronic dictionary also is a good way to learn words, because there is a sort of file for you to put those difficult words, right? Just put in your pocket. You can learn them anytime you can do it. (一天記一點(diǎn)，周末抽出半小時(shí)有側(cè)重點(diǎn)地鞏固一周的學(xué)習(xí)成果�？梢岳�用電子辭典的歸檔功能篩選出疑難詞匯，然后放在身邊隨時(shí)翻閱。)
