Hey everyone, you're listening to Achieve, the podcast where we explore simple ideas that can change how you see life.
2
I'm Emma.
3
I'm Jason.
4
Hello listeners.
5
Really glad you're here with us today.
6
So Jason, have you ever felt like time is moving faster and faster as you get older?
7
Yeah, actually, I do.
8
I mean, when I was a kid, summer holidays felt so long.
9
Now, a whole year feels quick.
10
Exactly.
11
And that's our topic today.
12
Why time feels faster when we get older.
13
You know, this reminds me of a famous quote by Albert Einstein.
14
Oh, what quote?
15
He said, When you sit with a beautiful girl for one hour, it feels like one minute.
16
But when you sit on a hot stove for one minute, it feels like one hour, which basically means time feels different depending on our experience.
17
That's such a good example.
18
And honestly, very true.
19
Yeah, time isn't really changing.
20
Our brain is changing how we feel it.
21
Exactly.
22
Scientists say one big reason is about new experiences.
23
When we're young, everything is new.
24
School, friends, hobbies, places.
25
Mmm, yeah.
26
Lots of first times.
27
Our brain saves more memories when things are new.
28
But when we get older, life becomes routine.
29
Work, home, same schedule.
30
Right.
31
So fewer new memories.
32
Yes.
33
And when we look back, fewer memories make time feel shorter.
34
Oh, wow.
35
So it's not time moving faster.
36
It's our memory.
37
There's also something called the proportion theory.
38
I mean, each year becomes a smaller part of your life.
39
For a 10-year-old, one year is a big part.
40
For a 50-year-old, it's much smaller.
41
Ah, right.
42
That makes sense too.
43
Actually, um, I remember reading about an experiment once.
44
A neuroscientist asked people in their 20s and older adults, around 60 to 80 years old, to count seconds in their heads.
45
Oh, what happened?
46
They had to press a stopwatch when they thought three minutes had passed.
47
The young students pressed it at about three minutes and three seconds on average.
48
But the older adults pressed it at around 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
49
Wow, that's a big difference!
50
Yeah, so for the same real 3 minutes, older people felt less time passing,
51
which kind of shows that time really does feel faster when we age.
52
That's really interesting.
53
Some research also shows older brains notice fewer changes during the same time.
54
Fewer changes?
55
Yeah, fewer events.
56
So time feels smoother and faster.
57
That's normal.
58
Routine makes time feel faster.
59
Yeah, and from that point of view, I think the solution is to create lots of new experiences and memories.
60
Oh, I like that idea.
61
What do you mean exactly?
62
Well, for example, learning a new musical instrument, traveling to unfamiliar places, joining a book club,
63
or reading books about topics you don't usually explore.
64
That's beautiful, Jason.
65
I love that.
66
I do feel time moving faster now, especially after college.
67
Years feel shorter, but I try to do new things, cooking new food, visiting new places.
68
Listeners, you can try this too.
69
Life can feel longer when it's interesting.
70
Before we go, let's share one tip.
71
Right.
72
My tip is break your routine sometimes.
73
Nice.
74
My tip is take photos and write memories.
75
It helps your brain remember.
76
Yeah, memories make life feel bigger.
77
That's right.
78
Well, that's all for today on Achieve.
79
Thank you for listening.
80
We hope time feels a little slower for you today.
81
See you next time.
82
Bye-bye, everyone.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
