Well, it’s boredom, usually.
太无聊。
You should try temptation bundling.
你应该尝试诱惑捆绑。
Temptation bundling - what’s that?
诱惑捆绑是什么?
Temptation bundling means doing two activities together– one you should do but are avoiding, and one you love doing which isn’t productive.
就是同时做两件事,一件你应该做但不想做的,一件你喜欢做但用处不大的。
For example, eating biscuits while I work?
例如,边工作边吃饼干?
Yes, that’s right. That sounds like a good one for you, Rob.
好吧。听上去比较适合你。
It might be a good idea actually.Well, let’s listen to Dr Catherine Loveday talking about how we often underestimate how long things will take us.
也许真的是一个好主意。我们听听Catherine Loveday讲述我们如何预估某件事会花费我们多长时间。
There’s this thing called the planning fallacy.My favourite one is always the example of the Oxford English Dictionarythat they started in 1857 and it was supposed to take five years, but five years later they’d only got to the word ’ant’.In the end it took another 70 years and then it was out of date and they had to start again anyway. We never seem to get any better at judging time in the future and how long things will take us.
有一种情况叫做规划谬误。我最喜欢的一个例子是关于牛津英文字典,1857年人们开始编纂字典,预计五年完成,结果五年后,人们只编到单词“ant”。最终人们花费了70年完成字典,但那时字典里的单词又过时了,他们又得再次开始编纂。我们无法判断未来的时间以及这件事花费多久。
That’s Dr Catherine Loveday. So what’s a fallacy, Alice?
上述是Catherine Loveday教授的观点。那什么是谬误呢?
It’s a mistaken belief or idea.
就是指错误的观点。
And for the famous Oxford English Dictionary– their mistake was to think they would get the work done in five years when it actually took 70!
对于著名的牛津字典来说,错误在于人们以为五年就能完成,结果花了70年。
Gosh! Wow! What a long time!And talking about time – ours is running out – let’s go back to today’s question.I asked: Which American said, "You may delay, but time will not?" Was it … a) John F Kennedy, b) Benjamin Franklin or c) Franklin J Roosevelt?
天啊!好长的时间!说到时间,我们节目的时间也快到了,我们回到今天的问题。我问是谁说的“时不我待”这句话?a) 约翰肯尼迪?b) 本杰明富兰克林?还是 c) 富兰克林罗斯福?
And I very confidently said John F Kennedy.
我非常自信,答案是约翰肯尼迪。
Yes, you did. And you were wrong today Rob, I’m afraid.It was Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. I doubt he wasted much waste time procrastinating!
你是挺自信的,但你回答错了,罗伯。答案是美国之父本杰明富兰克林。富兰克林是杰出的作家、印刷家、政治理论家、政客、共济会会员、邮政局长、科学家、发明家、公民活动家、政治家和外交官。我想他一定有拖延症,浪费了很多时间。
No. OK, without further delay, here are the words we learned today:
肯定不是。好了,不进一步拖延了,我们听听今天学到的单词。
procrastination
拖延症
priority
优先考虑
minimize
最小化
knuckle down
开始认真工作
tedious
无聊的
temptation bundling
诱惑捆绑
