庫克的建議

Location is key
位置是關鍵
Quite a common experience is for context to mess with memory in quite a severe way.
在某種情景下記憶力嚴重混亂是一個非常普遍的體驗。
For instance, you’re in the kitchen, and you think “I must get my raincoat from the bedroom” and you head upstairs. Once there, you can’t remember what you came for.
比如，你在廚房，想著“我要到臥室裏拿雨衣”，然後你上了樓。可以一到那兒，你就記不起來你爲什麽上來了。
You return downstairs, and immediately remember. You head upstairs, and again can’t remember what you were looking for.
你轉頭下了樓梯，突然之間你又記起來了。你又上樓，接著你又記不起來你到底要找什麽了。
The trick is to imagine what you’re looking for in the location you’re headed to. That way the new context will contain the memory of what you were looking for.
辦法就是你得想象你到你要去的那個位置到底找什麽。如此一來，新的情景中就會包含你在尋找何物的記憶。

Train your brain
練你的大腦
To keep the memory sharp, the same thing’s required that will keep the mind sharp generally.
保持記憶力的敏捷，同保持思維的敏銳所要求具備的東西是一樣的。
Lots of stimulation, keeping mentally active, learning new things.
頻繁的刺激，保持思維活躍，學習新事物。
Whether it’s doing the daily cross-word, conversing on difficult subjects, learning a language,
不論是做每日的字謎遊戲，討論困難的議題，學習外語,
or simply doing an interesting manual task, keeping active is at the heart of mental health, and the sine qua non of keeping on top of memory as you age.
或是僅僅是去做一項有趣的手工，保持活躍是思維健康的核心，也是保持你所屬年紀最佳記憶力的必要條件。
