左手畫(huà)圓、右手畫(huà)方這樣的場(chǎng)景大家在電視劇里都見(jiàn)過(guò)吧。專(zhuān)業(yè)人士把這樣的表現(xiàn)描述為“分配注意力的能力很強(qiáng)”,也就是說(shuō),這些人能夠同時(shí)關(guān)注不同的兩件事,而且還能把它們都做好。用我們今天要說(shuō)的這個(gè)詞來(lái)表示,他們就是supertasker了。
The term "supertasker" is given to individuals able to successfully accomplish two or more tasks at once—a quality possessed by less than 2.5 percent of people.
Supertasker(超級(jí)工作者)這個(gè)詞是用來(lái)指代那些能夠同時(shí)成功完成兩件以上任務(wù)的人,具備這種素質(zhì)的人在全部人口中所占的比例不到2.5%。
A new University of Utah study on distraction in the driver's seat finds that a very small percentage of participants were able to do other things successfully while driving (in the study, it was solving math problems and memorizing words) without a drop in performance on any task. In fact, some of these supertaskers performed better while multitasking than they did while completing the tasks alone.
美國(guó)猶他大學(xué)新近一項(xiàng)針對(duì)開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)一心二用的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),確實(shí)有很少一部分人能夠在開(kāi)車(chē)的同時(shí)完成其他任務(wù)(在該研究中,駕車(chē)者需要解答數(shù)學(xué)問(wèn)題,還要背單詞),而且各項(xiàng)任務(wù)都未出差錯(cuò)。事實(shí)上,有些超級(jí)工作者在一心二用時(shí)完成任務(wù)的表現(xiàn)比單獨(dú)完成一件任務(wù)時(shí)要更好。 |
