Some from each group were told to name the odours they encountered; others were not. Then they were given a distraction to clear their minds, followed by a chance to recollect what they had smelled. As expected, the experts performed better than the amateurs—but those who articulated their thoughts did no better than those who had not.
每组中一些人被要求说出他们闻到的气味,其他人没有。然后让他们分散注意力,理清思绪,通过偶然的机会再回忆自己闻到的气味。正如预期的那样,专家比业余者表现得更好,但是那些明确表达过自己想法的人,并不比那些没有明确表达过自己想法的人表现得更好。
——《经济学人》
基本释义
v. 回忆,想起
追根溯源
单词recollect里的词根lect来自拉丁语legere,表示“选择”,所以,在英语里包含lect的单词,多与此相关。例如:
select /sɪˈlekt/ v. 选择
elect /ɪˈlekt/ v. 选举
neglect /nɪˈɡlekt/ v. 忽略;忽视
collect /kəˈlekt/ v. 收集
前缀re表示再次,col表示共同、一起,所以,re+col+lect=再一次将一些事情选择出来→回忆,想起
