想碼出好文章？慢點(diǎn)打字吧
Want to improve the quality of your writing? Type slower
Let's face it, not everybody's equally gifted when it comes to getting their thoughts down on paper (or the digital equivalent). But according to a new study, there's an easy trick anybody can do to improve the quality of their writing: just type more slowly.
老實(shí)說(shuō),每個(gè)人將思想記錄在紙上（或電子設(shè)備）的天賦不一.但最新研究顯示,有一個(gè)人人都能掌握的小竅門(mén)能幫助提高寫(xiě)作質(zhì)量：放慢打字速度.
Researchers in Canada have found that when people are forced to write at a slower speed, it can actually enhance their way with words, with the use of word choice in particular benefiting from a calmer pace.
加拿大的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),當(dāng)人們被迫慢速書(shū)寫(xiě)時(shí),他們會(huì)借助這種慢節(jié)奏來(lái)推敲自己的文字,從而提高寫(xiě)作質(zhì)量.
"Typing can be too fluent or too fast, and can actually impair the writing process," said Srdan Medimorec, a cognitive psychologist from the University of Waterloo. "It seems that what we write is a product of the interactions between our thoughts and the tools we use to express them."
"打字太流暢太快,確實(shí)會(huì)給寫(xiě)作過(guò)程帶來(lái)不良影響."滑鐵盧大學(xué)的認(rèn)知心理學(xué)家瑟旦·麥迪莫還克說(shuō),"我們寫(xiě)作的內(nèi)容就像是我們的思想同表達(dá)工具之間交互的產(chǎn)物."
To examine how an enforced speed limit might affect writing ability, the researchers recruited participants and asked them to write essays using both hands or with only one.
為了研究強(qiáng)制限速如何影響寫(xiě)作能力,研究者招募了一批參與者,要求他們或用雙手或用單手寫(xiě)文章.
When the researchers examined the essays with text-analysis software, they discovered that the impeded, one-handed typing was better, especially with regard to the sophistication of the vocabulary used.
當(dāng)研究者用文本分析軟件檢驗(yàn)文章時(shí),他們發(fā)現(xiàn)單手打字者的文章更勝一籌,特別體現(xiàn)在選用詞匯的復(fù)雜性上.
"This is the first study to show that when you interfere with people's typing, their writing can get better," said Evan F. Risko, one of the team. "We're not saying that students should write their term papers with one hand, but our results show that going fast can have its drawbacks."
"這是首個(gè)表明受干擾的打字過(guò)程能夠提高寫(xiě)作質(zhì)量的研究,"團(tuán)隊(duì)成員伊萬(wàn)·瑞斯克說(shuō)："我們并不是在建議學(xué)生們單手完成學(xué)期論文,但研究結(jié)果確實(shí)顯示出快速打字的缺陷所在."
