请大家跟我一起闭上眼睛,想象一下。

你站在,自己家门口的外面,请留心一下门的颜色,以及门的材质,现在请想象一群超重的裸骑者,正在进行一场裸体自行车赛,向你的前门直冲而来,尽量让画面想象得栩栩如生近在眼前,他们都在奋力地踩脚踏板汗流浃背,路面非常颠簸,然后径直撞进了你家前门,自行车四下飞散车轮从你身旁滚过,辐条扎进了各种尴尬角落,跨过门槛,进到门厅、走廊和门里的其他地方,室内光线柔和舒适,光线洒在甜饼怪物身上,他坐在一匹棕色骏马的马背上,正向你招手,这匹马会说话,你可以感觉到他的蓝色鬃毛让你鼻子发痒,你可以闻到他正要扔进嘴里的葡萄燕麦曲奇的香气,绕过他绕过他走进客厅,站在客厅里把你的想象力调到最大档,想象小甜甜布兰妮,她衣着暴露在你咖啡桌上跳舞,并唱着”HitMeBabyOneMoreTime”,接下来跟着我走进你的厨房,厨房的地面被一道黄砖路覆盖,依次钻出你的烤箱向你走来的是,《绿野仙踪》里的多萝西铁皮人,稻草人和狮子,他们手挽着手蹦蹦跳跳地向你走来.
Okay.Openyoureyes.
好了睁开眼睛吧,
IwanttotellyouaboutaverybizarrecontestthatisheldeveryspringinNewYorkCity.It’scalledtheUnitedStatesMemoryChampionship.AndIhadgonetocoverthiscontestafewyearsbackasasciencejournalistexpecting,Iguess,thatthiswasgoingtobeliketheSuperbowlofsavants.Thiswasabunchofguysandafewladies,widelyvaryinginbothageandhygienicupkeep.
我要给你们讲一个每年春天在纽约,都会举办的奇异竞赛,叫做全美记忆冠军赛,几年前我作为一名科技类记者,去报道这项竞赛,心里想着大概那儿得像,怪才的”超级碗冠军赛”一样热闹吧,一大堆男人和屈指可数的女性,从小孩儿到老人有些还不怎么注意个人卫生,
Theywerememorizinghundredsofrandomnumbers,lookingatthemjustonce.Theywerememorizingthenamesofdozensanddozensanddozensofstrangers.Theywerememorizingentirepoemsinjustafewminutes.Theywerecompetingtoseewhocouldmemorizetheorderofashuffledpackofplayingcardsthefastest.Iwaslike,thisisunbelievable.Thesepeoplemustbefreaksofnature.
有的奋力在只看一次的情况下,记下上百个任意列出的数字,有的在努力记住成群的陌生人的名字,有的想在几分钟内努力背下整篇诗歌,还有的在比赛谁能以最快速度,记下一整副打乱的牌的顺序,我当时觉得这太不可思议了,这些人肯定天赋异禀。
AndIstartedtalkingtoafewofthecompetitors.ThisisaguycalledEdCookwhohadcomeoverfromEnglandwherehehadoneofthebesttrainedmemories.AndIsaidtohim,“Ed,whendidyourealizethatyouwereasavant?
”AndEdwaslike,“I’mnotasavant.Infact,Ihavejustanaveragememory.Everybodywhocompetesinthiscontestwilltellyouthattheyhavejustanaveragememory.We’vealltrainedourselvestoperformtheseutterlymiraculousfeatsofmemoryusingasetofancienttechniques,techniquesinvented2,500yearsagoinGreece,thesametechniquesthatCicerohadusedtomemorizehisspeeches,thatmedievalscholarshadusedtomemorizeentirebooks.”AndIwaslike,“Whoa.HowcomeIneverheardofthisbefore?
”
所以我开始采访参赛者,这位叫EdCook,是从英格兰来的,他在那儿接受了最好的记忆训练,我问他“Ed你是什么时候开始意识到,自己是记忆天才的?
”,Ed答道“我并不是什么专家,其实我的记忆力很一般,来参赛的每一个人,都会告诉你他们的记忆力只是一般水平,我们都在训练自己后才能,完成这些奇迹般的记忆游戏,我们运用了一系列古老的技巧,这些技巧是希腊人在两千五百年前发明的,西塞罗正是用了这些技巧,来记忆他的演讲稿的,中世纪学者用这种技巧来背诵正本书籍的内容”,我惊讶不已“哇噻怎么我从来没听说过呢?
”
Andwewerestandingoutsidethecompetitionhall,andEd,whoisawonderful,brilliant,butsomewhateccentricEnglishguy,saystome,“Josh,you’reanAmericanjournalist.DoyouknowBritneySpears?
”I’mlike,“What?
No.Why?
”“BecauseIreallywanttoteachBritneySpearshowtomemorizetheorderofashuffledpackofplayingcardsonU.S.nationaltelevision.Itwillprovetotheworldthatanybodycandothis.”
我们站在竞技大厅外,聪明过人令人惊叹,而又稍有些古怪的英国人Ed,对我说“Josh你是个美国记者,你知道小甜甜布兰妮吧?
“,我茫然不解“什么?
当然为什么要问这个?
”,“因为我真的很想在,美国国家电台上教会布兰妮,怎样记住一整副打乱的牌的顺序,就能证明这是人人都可以做到的了”
Iwaslike,“WellI’mnotBritneySpears,butmaybeyoucouldteachme.Imean,you’vegottostartsomewhere,right?
”Andthatwasthebeginningofaverystrangejourneyforme.
我说“虽然我不是布兰妮,但你也可以教教我呀,总得找个人开教嘛不是吗?
”,接着一段非常奇特的历程在我面前展开了序幕.
Iendedupspendingthebetterpartofthenextyearnotonlytrainingmymemory,butalsoinvestigatingit,tryingtounderstandhowitworks,whyitsometimesdoesn’tworkandwhatitspotentialmightbe.
结果第二年的大部分时间,我都花在了训练自己的记忆力,同时调查研究记忆上,我想尝试理解产生记忆的原理,为何有时会记了又忘,及其它到底隐藏着什么样的潜力.

途中我遇到了很多有趣的人,其中一个叫E.P.,他患有健忘症他的记忆力,恐怕是世界上最差的了,他的记忆能力差到,甚至记不得自己有健忘症,真的很神奇,虽然他是个悲剧角色,但通过他我们能了解到,记忆在何种程度上塑造了我们的人格.

情况的另一个极端是我遇到了这样一个人,他叫KimPeek,他是DustinHoffman在电影《雨人》里的角色的原型,我和他花了一下午,在盐湖城公共图书馆里背电话簿,让我大开眼界.
AndIwentbackandIreadawholehostofmemorytreatises,treatiseswritten2,000-plusyearsagoinLatininAntiquityandthenlaterintheMiddleAges.AndIlearnedawholebunchofreallyinterestingstuff.OneofthereallyinterestingthingsthatIlearnedisthatonceuponatime,thisideaofhavingatrained,disciplined,cultivatedmemorywasnotnearlysoalienasitwouldseemtoustobetoday.Onceuponatime,peopleinvestedintheirmemories,inlaboriouslyfurnishingtheirminds.
回家后我读了许多关于记忆的论文,写于两千多年前的论文,用拉丁文写的从古代,一直到后来中世纪期间,我学到很多很有意思的事儿,其中一个就是,曾经,训练规束培养记忆力的这种概念,完全不像如今那样陌生,曾几何时人们寄希望于自己的记忆,能不遗余力地装饰自己的心灵.
Overthelastfewmilleniawe’veinventedaseriesoftechnologies–fromthealphabettothescrolltothecodex,theprintingpress,photography,thecomputer,thesmartphone–thathavemadeitprogressivelyeasierandeasierforustoexternalizeourmemories,forustoessentiallyoutsourcethisfundamentalhumancapacity.Thesetechnologieshavemadeourmodernworldpossible,butthey’vealsochangedus.They’vechangedusculturally,andIwouldarguethatthey’vechangeduscognitively.Havinglittleneedtorememberanymore,itsometimesseemslikewe’veforgottenhow.
近几千年来,人类发明了一系列技术,从字母表到卷轴,到法典印刷机摄影技术,电脑智能手机,让我们能越来越轻松地,外化记忆能力,让我们从根本上,把这种基础的人类能力拱手让出,这些技术让现代生活变为可能,但同时也改变了我们,不仅在文化上,我觉得也在认知上,不再需要费劲去记忆,有时会觉得我们已经忘了如何去记忆.
OneofthelastplacesonEarthwhereyoustillfindpeoplepassionateaboutthisideaofatrained,disciplined,cultivatedmemoryisatthistotallysingularmemorycontest.It’sactuallynotthatsingular,therearecontestsheldallovertheworld.AndIwasfascinated,Iwantedtoknowhowdotheseguysdoit.
在这片地球上已经很少有地方,能让你觉得人们仍热衷于,训练规束培养记忆力了,那非同寻常的记忆大赛算是一个,其实它也没有那么非同寻常,世界各地都开始举办这样的竞赛,我对此深深着迷想要知道这些人是怎么做到的.
AfewyearsbackagroupofresearchersatUniversityCollegeLondonbroughtabunchofmemorychampionsintothelab.Theywantedtoknow:
Dotheseguyshavebrainsthataresomehowstructurally,anatomicallydifferentfromtherestofours?
Theanswerwasno.Aretheysmarterthantherestofus?
Theygavethemabunchofcognitivetests,andtheanswerwasnotreally.
几年前伦敦大学学院的一组研究人员,请来一批记忆大赛的冠军接受研究,他们想要弄明白,这些人的大脑,是否跟我们其他人在解剖学上的结构不一样?
,答案是否定的,那他们比我们都聪明吗?
,他们给研究对象实施了一系列认知测试,依旧得出了否定结论.
Therewashoweveronereallyinterestingandtellingdifferencebetweenthebrainsofthememorychampionsandthecontrolsubjectsthattheywerecomparingthemto.WhentheyputtheseguysinanfMRImachine,scannedtheirbrainswhiletheywerememorizingnumbersandpeople’sfacesandpicturesofsnowflakes,theyfoundthatthememorychampionswerelightingupdifferentpartsofthebrainthaneveryoneelse.Ofnote,theywereusing,ortheyseemedtobeusing,apartofthebrainthat’sinvolvedinspatialmemoryandnavigation.Why?
Andistheresomethingtherestofuscanlearnfromthis?
但对比受控制的比对目标的大脑,记忆大赛冠军们的大脑,确实有一处很有趣的不同很说明问题,这些人被送去做功能磁共振,扫描大脑时,当他们在记忆数字或人脸或雪花图案时,研究人员发现记忆大赛冠军们,的大脑激活的区域,跟普通人不太一样,值得注意的是他们看来是在用,脑中在空间记忆和导航时会用到的部分,为什么?
我们可以从中得出什么样的结论呢?
Thesportofcompetitivememorizingisdrivenbyakindofarmsracewhereeveryyearsomebodycomesupwithanewwaytoremembermorestuffmorequickly,andthentherestofthefieldhastoplaycatchup.
竞争性记忆的较量,被一种类似军事比赛的方式推向了白热化,每年都会有人,带着更有效的记忆方法现身赛场,而其他人就必须迎头赶上.
ThisismyfriendBenPridmore,three-timeworldmemorychampion.Onhisdeskinfrontofhimare36shuffledpacksofplayingcardsthatheisabouttotrytomemorizeinonehour,usingatechniquethatheinventedandhealonehasmastered.Heusedasimilartechniquetomemorizethepreciseorderof4,140randombinarydigitsinhalfanhour.Yeah.
这是我的朋友BenPridmore,赢得过三次国际记忆大赛冠军,在他的台前,有三十六副打乱顺序的牌,他要在一个小时内记下全部,用的是一种他自己发明的也只有他会的技巧,用与此类似的方法,他曾一字不差地背下了,4140个任意排列的二进制数,只用了半个小时,很牛吧.
