　　The challenge claims to prove whether or not you have a photographic memory,， although it’s more accurate to say it tests eidetic memory - the ability to recall images,。
　　據(jù)說這項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)能證明你是否具有“過目不忘”的能力。不過更準(zhǔn)確的說法是檢測(cè)“清晰記憶”-即記憶圖像的能力,。

　　To take the test,， you have to look at at a seemingly random pattern of red and blue dots and try to memorise the picture。 You then do the same with a second combination of blue and red dots,。
　　要參加這個(gè)測(cè)試,，你要先觀察一個(gè)紅藍(lán)點(diǎn)看似隨機(jī)分布的圖案，努力記住它,。然后再觀察并努力記住下一張類似的圖案,。

　　Once you feel as if you have successfully memorised the second image， you have to combine the two in your mind’s eye to see if you can form a letter from the red dots,。
　　一旦你覺得記住了第二張圖,，嘗試把兩張圖在腦海中合并,，看看能否把紅點(diǎn)拼成一個(gè)字母。

　　If you’ve managed to remember them correctly,， you should come up with the letter G’,。
　　如果記憶正確，你應(yīng)該能拼出字母G,。

　　The question is part of a ’photographic memory’ test,， created for Playbuzz， and according to the site only one per cent of the population will pass,。
　　這個(gè)難題是“過目不忘”測(cè)試的一部分,，為Playbuzz創(chuàng)立。據(jù)實(shí)驗(yàn)表明,，只有1%的人能夠通過測(cè)試,。

　　Although the puzzle claims to test photographic memory， it is in fact a challenge for eidetic memory,， the ability to recall images from visual sources in great detail after only a short exposure to them,。
　　盡管這個(gè)難題聲稱是測(cè)試“過目不忘”的能力，實(shí)際上它是挑戰(zhàn)一個(gè)人的清晰記憶能力,，即短時(shí)間內(nèi)用眼觀察很多細(xì)節(jié)后,，回憶這些圖像的能力。

　　It’s most common in early childhood with between two and 10 per cent of youngsters said to be able to recall visual information after only short periods of absorbing it,。
　　據(jù)說在幼兒時(shí)期,，約2%-10%的孩子能夠在短時(shí)間內(nèi)記住視覺信息，這很常見,。

　　However,， unless it’s nurtured the ability usually fades by the age of six。
　　然而,，除非經(jīng)過特別鍛煉,，否則這種能力在六歲時(shí)會(huì)慢慢退化。

　　Eidetic memory is said to be non-existent in adults,。 The existence of so-called photographic memory - the ability to recall a page of text after reading - has also never been proven,。
　　據(jù)說清晰記憶在成人中是不存在的，而所謂“過目不忘”的能力-即看完一頁書能夠完全記住的能力-也從未得到證實(shí),。

　　However,， people such as Nikola Telsa， the inventor of the Telsa coil and alternating current machinery,， have claimed to be able memorise entire books,。
　　但像尼古拉·特斯拉-發(fā)明特斯拉線圈和交流電動(dòng)機(jī)的人，據(jù)說能夠記住整本書的內(nèi)容。

　　Theodore Roosevelt,， the 26th president of the US,， said he could remember and recite entire pages of the newspapers he’d read。
　　美國第26任總統(tǒng)西奧多·羅斯福稱,，他能記住并背誦出他讀過的整張報(bào)紙,。

　　Leonardo Da Vinci is commonly believed to have had an photographic memory。
　　人們普遍認(rèn)為,，萊昂納多達(dá)芬奇擁有過目不忘的能力,。

　　However， it would be more accurate to describe his abilities as eidetic as he could draw a detailed portrait from memory after a single meeting,。
　　然而,，稱其為“清晰記憶”會(huì)更準(zhǔn)確，因?yàn)樗�能在只見過對(duì)方一面后,，僅憑記憶畫出非常詳細(xì)的人物畫像,。（愛語吧）
