花点时间看下面的单词列表，每列花同样的时间

现在不看单词，回忆下你记住了哪些单词对，它们来自哪一列？

我自己的情况是：A列一个单词对都没记住，B列记住了3对（填好了的单词）。

大多数人的情况应该也是记住的B列比A列多。

You didn't practice harder when you looked at column B. You practiced Deeper.

当你查看B列时，并没有更努力地练习，而是进行了更深入的练习。

当我在看B列的时候，我会去把B列的空填上，看应该填哪个字母，而使其成为一个单词。

Deep practice is built on a paradox: struggling in certain targeted ways —operating at the edges of your ability, where you make mistakes— makes you smarter. Or to put it a slightly different way, experiences where you're forced to slow down, make errors, and correct them—as you would if you were walking up an ice-covered hill, slipping and stumbling as you go—end up making you swift and graceful without your realizing it.

深度练习建立在一个悖论之上：以特定的方式努力挣扎——在你能力的边缘操作，犯错——会让你变得更聪明。或者换个说法，那些迫使你放慢速度、犯错并纠正错误的经历——就像你在冰山上行走时，滑倒和绊倒一样——最终会让你变得敏捷而优雅，而你却浑然不觉。

“Things that appear to be obstacles turn out to be desirable in the long haul,” Bjork said. “One real encounter, even for a few seconds, is far more useful than several hundred observations.”

“看似障碍的事物，从长远来看却是可取的，”Bjork说。“一次真正的接触，哪怕只有几秒钟，也远比几百次观察有用。”
