Whether or not you’re a student who just headed back to school, everyone should strive to learn new things throughout their lives. Unfortunately, some people find that harder than others. That’s because some people are simply more effective learners than others.
不管你是不是剛返校開始新學(xué)期的學(xué)生，每個(gè)人在一生中都應(yīng)該積極地去學(xué)習(xí)新知識(shí)新東西。不幸的是，有一些人學(xué)起來會(huì)比其他人更艱苦，這是因?yàn)橛行┤说膶W(xué)習(xí)效率要更高。

Luckily, you can become a more effective learner as long as you focus on improving these four traits that make learning easier:
幸運(yùn)的是，只要你專注提高下面這四個(gè)特質(zhì)，你的學(xué)習(xí)過程會(huì)變得容易得多，你也會(huì)成為更有效率的學(xué)習(xí)者：

1. Be curious.
要好奇。

Without curiosity, you’ll have no motivation to learn.
沒有好奇心，你就不會(huì)有學(xué)習(xí)的動(dòng)力。

2. Become process-oriented.
要以過程為導(dǎo)向。

Don’t just focus on the end result, but on how you get there.
不要光專注結(jié)果，也要多注意你在達(dá)到最終結(jié)果的過程中付出的努力。

3. Apply what you learn.
把你學(xué)到的內(nèi)容付諸實(shí)踐。

Learning for the sake of learning is great, but it’s also easier to stay interested in education if you actually apply the things you learn.
為了學(xué)習(xí)而學(xué)習(xí)是很不錯(cuò)，但如果能把你學(xué)到的東西真正應(yīng)用起來，你的興趣也會(huì)更加容易地保持興趣。

4. Retain what you learn.
記住你學(xué)到的東西。

Letting things come in one ear and out the other is a surefire way to waste your time learning.
左耳進(jìn)右耳出，這樣敷衍的方式只是在浪費(fèi)你的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間。
