Remember Five Choices and Reward for virtue
今天日课更新计划,是记忆英语大段信息. 我仍然选定了<Principle>这本书,读了<Your most important choices>这个章节.认真读了两遍, 不说字字珠玑,确实很有启发. 又随手翻看第二册的<新概念英语>,翻到了第五十一歌<Rewards for virtue>.真是很有趣的现象,这种经历在我更新日课的过程中体会了好几次,就是近期学习到的东西与要更新的日课总有神秘的联系。我想背后的原因也许是世间万物本来就是相互联系的,只是因为专注于某件事物或某个观点,于是依靠这个事物或者观点将其组织了起来。
首先,将书中列出的五类最重要的选择贴出来,他们其实都很抽象,用作者的话说,代表着一个人的性格,而不是智力或者创造性。而性格在作者看来,是可以后天培养的。让我想起了那句著名的鸡汤:
这五个选择分别是:
1,选择如何面对痛苦?
2,选择如何面对真实?
3,选择如何面对虚荣?
4,选择如何面对时间?
5,选择如何面对责任?
翻译成中文如下:
针对五种选择,作者给出了五个问题,有时还配有提醒的咒语:
这第五条,让我想到了曾经非常打动我的西点军校的咒语:
再让我们看看新概念英语二中的第五十一课:
Reward for virtue
对美德的奖赏
My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
要记忆这篇文章,首先将其整理的更加清晰,有条理:
1, My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.
2,He began his diet a week ago.
3,First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.
4, The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets.
5.Yesterday I paid him a visit.
6. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever.
7.He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk.
8. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed.
9.When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk.
10.He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally.
11.Then he showed me the contents of the parcel.
12.It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!
我们将56句放在一个地点,78句放在一个地点,那么只需要10个地点就够了,放了两句话的地点正在记忆宫殿的中央,也很容易记住,更关键的我们并不需要做到点背,所以也不需要一个桩子对应一句话。
一副图找十个地点, 这是记忆宫殿的常规配置。
我找了下面这副图:
十个地点如下:
高楼
窗户
沙发
胖子
遥控器
电视机
地板
酒
爆米花
垃圾桶
这十个地点也可以作为记忆《Principle》五个最重要的选择的地点桩
我会用来记忆五个问句以及五句咒语:
Pain+Reflection=Progress
Is it true?
Be actually good
Consider more,consider longer
No excuse.
