　　After earning a Ph.D in neuroscience from UCLA, actress Mayim Bialik shares her learning strategies that also come in handy for life outside the classroom.

　　在加州大学洛杉矶分校得到了神经学的博士学位后，演员马伊姆-比亚利克（《生活大爆炸》Amy的扮演者）和大家分享了她的学习技巧，这些内容在课堂之外的生活中也能派上用场。

　　1. "Sit in the front row, raise your hand, and ask questions."

　　“坐在第一排，举手问问题。”

　　A lot of people are intimidated and don't want to do it, but for me it was to the only way to get my questions answered and keep going. They called me a goody two-shoes, but who cares?

　　很多人都不好意思，不想这样做。但对我来说，这是解答疑问并能继续向前的唯一方式。他们都说我自命不凡，无所谓啦，反正我不在意。

　　2. "It's normal to want to drop out."

　　“想退学很正常。 ”

　　But once you've gotten that far, it's worth it to finish. There are people you can go to, ways to get around those feelings; you don't need to be in a dire situation to use Psychological Services.

　　但是一旦你已经开始学习，完成学业还是值得的。一旦你有那样的想法，你可以去找人倾诉，或找一些方法来进行调整，没有必要去使用心理服务。

　　3. "It's helpful to have at least one person who doesn't let you drop out."

　　“如果至少有一个人不想让你退学,那么对你来说会很有帮助。”

　　You often feel like your mom and dad, or your boyfriend, don't really get it. But it really helped me to speak to people in my department who finished, even though they too felt discouraged.

　　你经常觉得你的爸爸、妈妈或男朋友根本就不明白自己的处境。但是对我来说，和系里高年级已经完成学位的人交流一下很有帮助，虽然有时候她们也觉得很气馁。

　　4. "Never underestimate the importance of taking good, thorough notes."

　　“不要低估做好、做全笔记的重要性。”

　　I prefer organized, efficient, longhand note taking. I'm really grateful to my mom, who was a list-taker. I don't come from a fancy academic family, but my mom knows how to make a good list, and that really helped me. Don't be afraid to use too much paper.

　　我更喜欢有条理的、高效的、普通写法的笔记。我非常感谢我的妈妈，她很喜欢列清单。我没有出生在学术氛围浓厚的家庭中，但是我妈妈知道怎样才能列出一张好的清单，这对我真的很有帮助。不要怕浪费纸。
