點(diǎn)此解咒

　　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(yè)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(guó)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(yǔ)吧）
