Hi, I'm Thomas Frank and I wanna welcome you to a series that's a little bit different than anything you've seen here on Crash Course before.
大家好，我是托马斯·弗兰克，欢迎大家来到这个系列的学习课堂，这个系列和你们之前在 Crash Course 上看到的有一点不同。
While every other series up to this point has helped you explore and learn about actual academic subjects, like World History, Computer Science, and Literature, here we'll be learning how to learn.
虽然目前为止其他系列的课程都是帮助您探索和学习实际的学术主题的，如世界历史、计算机科学和文学，但在这里，我们将学习的是如何进行学习。
This is an important ability to have and to hone.
这是一个需要拥有和磨练的很重要的能力。
As our economy becomes more and more dominated by information, the people who can retain that information, learn new skills quickly, and combine what they know in new and innovative ways are gonna be the ones who succeed.
随着我们的经济越来越被信息所主导，那些能够保留信息、快速学习新技能，并以新的方式结合他们所知道的知识的人，就将会成为成功人士。
Plus, when you know how to study efficiently for a test, you've got more time for Mario Kart.
另外，当你知道如何有效地学习以为考试做准备时，你就有更多的时间玩马里奥赛车了。
So, I should probably introduce myself.
所以，现在我应该先介绍一下我自己。
My name is Thomas Frank and I'm the founder of College Info Geek. com.
我是 Thomas Frank，是 College Info Geek. com 网站的创立人。
I'm also the author of a book called 10 Steps to Earning Awesome Grades, and I'm the creator of a YouTube channel that's all about becoming a more effective student.
我还写了一本书，叫做《取得好成绩的十个步骤》，而且我还是一个 YouTube 频道的创始人，这个频道是关于如何成为一个更有效率的学生的。
I also have a podcast where I get together with my best friend Martin and we discuss many of these topics in even more depth.
我还有一个播客，是和我最好的朋友马丁一起办的，我们会对这些话题进行更深入的讨论。
For the past 7 years, I've spent a huge amount of time writing and researching all about how we as humans can improve our ability to learn and become more productive.
在过去的七年里，我花了大量的时间来论述和研究我们该如何提高学习能力、变得更有效率。
I've interviewed college professors, authors, sleep doctors, neuroscientists, and other experts.
我采访过大学教授、作家、睡眠医生、神经学家和其他专家。
And along the way, I've picked up a few tips that go beyond the basics that you might have already been taught.
在这个过程中，我学会了一些技巧，它们超越了你可能已经学过的基础知识。
So, over the course of the next 10 episodes, I'll be sharing what I've learned.
所以，在接下来的10集里，我将分享我学到的东西。
Among other things, we'll be digging into how to effectively take notes, tackle reading assignments, write papers, and – of course – study for tests.
除此之外，我们还将深入探讨如何有效地记笔记、处理阅读作业、写论文，当然还有为考试做准备。
We'll explore how your memory works, and look at study strategies that take advantage of its limitations, rather than working against them.
我们将探索你的记忆是如何运作的，并研究能够利用其局限性的学习策略，而不是与之相悖。
We'll also cover productivity skills like planning, beating procrastination, and improving your concentration – skills that will serve you both in your life as a student and wherever you decide to go afterwards.
我们还将介绍一些提高效率的技能，比如计划、战胜拖延症和提高注意力——这些技能将在你的学生生活中和毕业后都有帮助。
And that's really the thing with study skills.
这就是学习技巧的问题。
As I've discovered since graduating college with an Information Systems degree a few years ago, and as you'll inevitably discover as well, the skills that enable you to ace your tests and keep all your assignments organized will transfer to your career and help you succeed there as well.
我几年前从信息系统专业毕业后发现，你们也会不可避免地发现，那些能让你在考试中取得好成绩、井井有条地完成作业的技能将会转移到你的职业生涯中，并帮助你在那个领域取得成功。
Welcome to Crash Course - Study Skills.
