雅思考試閱讀材料：年紀(jì)越大越覺時(shí)光飛逝
As you get older, it feels like time tends to move faster. As Dan Ariely explains over at The Wall Street Journal, we tend to fall into familiar routines as we age and that makes time move quickly.
雖然你年紀(jì)越來越大，時(shí)間似乎也越走越快。就像作者丹·艾瑞里在《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》撰文解釋的一樣：我們的歲數(shù)越是增長(zhǎng)，生活就越傾向于變得一成不變。所以，時(shí)間過得更快了。
We perceive time something like a stack of memories, so the less new experiences you have, the less likely you are to fill in those memories with interesting things.
我們感知中的時(shí)間就像是回憶的堆疊。所以新鮮的經(jīng)歷越少，你就越不可能在那些回憶中填滿有趣的事情。
Time does go by (or, more accurately, it feels as if time is going by) more quickly the older we get.
我們?cè)介L(zhǎng)大，時(shí)間確實(shí)會(huì)過得越快(或者更準(zhǔn)確地說，我們確實(shí)會(huì)感覺時(shí)間過得越快)。
In the first few years of our lives, anything we sense or do is brand new, and many of our experiences are unique, so they remain firmly in our memories. But as the years go by, we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences—both because we have already accomplished a lot and because we become slaves to our daily routines.
在我們?nèi)松淖畛鯉啄昀?，我們感覺到的一切，所做的一切都是全新的。而且，我們的許多經(jīng)歷都很獨(dú)特，獨(dú)特到足以牢牢留在我們的記憶中。但是隨著時(shí)間的流逝，我們能遇到的全新經(jīng)歷越來越少了。這是由于我們不僅已經(jīng)完成了許多事情，而且已經(jīng)習(xí)慣于像奴隸般遵守自己的生活習(xí)慣。
For example, try to remember what happened to you every day last week，chances are that nothing extraordinary happened, so you will be hard-pressed to recall the specific things you did on Monday, Tuesday, etc.
舉例來說，請(qǐng)你努力回想一下上周每天你都做了些什么事情。什么特別的事情也沒有發(fā)生的概率很大，所以你會(huì)覺得回憶自己在周一、周二等日子里具體做了哪些事情非常困難。
What can we do about this? Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences, point out things we've never done, recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been. Such an app could make our lives more varied, prod us to try new things, slow down the passage of time and increase our happiness.
對(duì)此，我們?cè)撛趺崔k呢?或許我們需要一些新的應(yīng)用來鼓勵(lì)我們嘗試新經(jīng)歷、指出我們還沒做過的事情、給我們推薦沒有嘗試過的菜和沒有去過的地方。這樣的應(yīng)用可以讓我們的生活更加豐富，刺激我們?nèi)L試新鮮的事物，讓時(shí)光放慢腳步并且讓我們更加快樂。
Until such an app arrives, try to do at least one new thing every week.It's not too difficult to push yourself to do new things.
在這種應(yīng)用被發(fā)明出來以前，每周至少嘗試一件新的事物吧。逼自己去嘗試新事物并不是一件非常困難的事情!
