当年我特别喜欢简·M·奥尔写的《洞熊家族》(The Clan of the Cave Bear)及其续集。我记得在她的描写里,尼安德特人的记忆力更好,也更依赖“存储过程”(stored procedures)。但我完全不知道这到底有没有科学依据。
Back in the day, I loved The Clan of the Cave Bear and sequels by Jean M. Auel. As I recall, she characterized Neanderthals as having better memories, and more dependent on stored procedures. But I have no clue whether there was any basis for that.
……读得快得多。举个例子,我说说我唯一一次测自己读长篇大作的速度。我有边泡澡边看书的习惯,高中时有一天,我刚进浴缸就翻开了《洞熊家族》。结果彻底陷进去了,一口气读完了整本书才洗完出来。我妈纳闷我这一整天都跑哪儿去了。我把事情告诉她,她根本不信我居然能……
…read much more quickly. As an illustration let me describe the one time I measured my speed on a long piece of work. I have a habit of reading in the bath, and one day in high school I began reading Clan of the Cave Bear at the beginning of a bath. I got sucked in, read the whole book, then finished the bath. My mother wondered where I had been all day. I told her the story. She didn't believe that I could have done…
简·奥尔的《洞熊家族》系列探讨了尼安德特人与克罗马农人互动的种种可能性,但这篇文章又提出了一整套引人入胜的全新剧情反转。
Jean Auel's The Clan of the Cave Bear book-series explores the possibilities of Neanderthal/Cro-Magnon interaction, but this article brings up a whole new set of intriguing plot twists.
我的阅读速度挺快的。一旦看入迷了还会更快,因为太想知道后续了。我测出过的最快速度,就是一口气读完《洞熊家族》那次。事后我和我妈算了算,我的平均阅读速度达到了 900 wpm。所以,我完全不觉得读得快会影响我享受小说的乐趣。至少某些类型的小说是这样的。
I have a good reading speed. When I'm caught up in a book, it increases because I want to know what happens next. The fastest that I ever was timed when I read Clan of the Cave Bear in a single sitting. Afterwards my mother and I worked out that I'd done it at an average of 900 wpm. So no, I don't find that reading fast hurts my enjoyment of fiction. At least some kinds of fiction.
诡异的地方在于:我看书的速度比我“消化”它的速度还要快。我第一次偶然发现自己的阅读速度,就是有一回一口气读完了《洞熊家族》。读完当下我根本没办法概括它讲了什么,虽然书里随便挑一段我都能认出来。但到了第二天,我就能总结出来了。我把它形容为一种 pipeline 式的感觉。……
Here's what's weird. I can read a book faster than I can "digest" it. I first learned my reading speed by accident after I read Clan of the Cave Bear in a single sitting. Immediately afterwards I could not summarize it, though I could recognize any passage in the book. The next day, I could summarize it. I describe it as feeling like I have a pipeline.…
稍微扯开一点话题,我很好奇小说/系列《洞熊家族》里的描述有多准确——里面巫医的技能基本上都是代代相传的。不过同时传下来的还有一种能力:通过尝极少量的未知草药或潜在食物,来观察其效果……
Slight off topic, but I wonder how accurate the references in novel/series "The Clan of the Cave Bear" where medicine man/woman skills are mainly handed down from one generation to next. However also handed down is the skill to take tiny amounts of unknown herbs or potential foodstuffs and observe effects…
