高效自學(xué)外語6個(gè)的秘訣（2）

2. Expect problems and you won’t be disappointed.
第二布：降低期望值，這樣就不會(huì)對(duì)自己失望

Don't expect to understand things, much less remember them, the first time you study them. Trust that things will get clearer as your brain comes to grips with new information. It is like a jig-saw puzzle or a cross-word puzzle. As you start to put the pieces together, or string the words together, the full picture becomes clearer. The brain learns all the time, but on its own schedule. Learning does not take place according to a schedule laid down by a curriculum or teacher. Some things are easier to learn than others. Some things just take longer to click in. Keep at it, and you will gradually find that things that seem difficult at first, will become second nature with time.
當(dāng)一開始學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候，別指望能一下就全部理解、更別說記住所有知識(shí)點(diǎn)了。要相信，隨著你了解越來越多的新知識(shí)、你的頭腦也會(huì)變得清晰起來。這就像是拼圖、或者填字游戲那樣：當(dāng)你把圖形一個(gè)一個(gè)拼起來、或是把單詞一一填進(jìn)去，整個(gè)大局就會(huì)清楚。大腦其實(shí)隨時(shí)都在學(xué)習(xí)，不過它也有自己的節(jié)奏。學(xué)習(xí)的過程是不會(huì)按照一個(gè)課程、或是老師給你規(guī)定的進(jìn)行的。有的東西比其他好學(xué)，有的東西就是需要花更多時(shí)間。堅(jiān)持下去，你慢慢就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)那些一開始看上去很難的東西也會(huì)隨著時(shí)間變得簡單了。
