三、短文逐段翻译
脑力运动
你的记忆力怎么样?15 分钟你能记住多少单词?有的人能记住 335 个单词,还有人更加厉害。比如,曾有人在一小时内记住 2530 张扑克牌的顺序!
就像有锻炼身体的体育赛事一样,也有锻炼大脑的脑力竞赛,世界脑力锦标赛就是其中之一。2019 年这项赛事在中国武汉举办,设置了各式各样的比赛项目。例如,脑力选手要尽可能记住更多人名和人脸,或是在 15 分钟内记住尽可能多的单词。
你或许会以为这些参赛者天生记忆力超群,但事实往往并非如此。有一位冠军记忆力十分普通,可他会充分运用记忆技巧。比如要记住美国五大湖的名字,他就记住单词 HOMES,这个单词的每个字母分别代表一座湖泊。
很多选手会使用一种名为 “记忆宫殿” 的方法记忆。大多数人很难记住清单类内容,却很擅长记住物品摆放的位置。想想你的卧室,你大概能在脑海里清晰想出每样东西的位置。现在,把清单上的物品分别想象摆放在卧室的不同角落。之后想要回忆内容时,你只需要回想这幅画面。
记忆竞赛并非适合所有人,也不是人人都能成为脑力选手。但另一方面,他们的一些记忆技巧对你的学习会很有帮助,你不妨试一试!

picture sth. in your mind 在脑海中想象某物
All you need to do is to... 你只需要……
On the other hand,... 另一方面……
