超凡的联想能力

可可电台

Several Quora users suggested that smart people are able to see patterns where others can't. That's because they can draw parallels between seemingly disparate ideas.

一些Quora用户指出,聪明人能够看到其他人看不到的模式。那是因为他们能找到两个看似不沾边的想法的相通之处。

As April Astoria notes: "You think there's no relation between sashimi and watermelon? You'd be wrong. Both are typically eaten raw and cold."

就像阿普里尔•爱斯托利亚所说:“你认为生鱼片和西瓜之间没有关系?你错了,这两样东西都可以冰镇后生吃。”

Interestingly, journalist Charles Duhigg argues that making these kinds of connections is a hallmark of creativity (which can be closely linked to intelligence). Duhigg studied the process through which Disney developed their hit movie Frozen and concluded that the movie only seems clever and original because it "takes old ideas and pushes them together in new ways".

有趣的是,记者查尔斯•杜希格认为,建立这种联系是创造力的标志,而创造力也和智商紧密相关。杜希格研究了迪斯尼的大热影片《冰雪奇缘》的制作过程,并得出结论说,这部电影给人感觉机智又新颖是因为它“把老故事重新组合”。


【知识点讲解】

link to 与…连接, 联系;

例句:

The Alumnae Association is my link to the school's present administration.

女校友协会是我和现在学校行政部门之间的纽带

Broadly, it makes connections between ideas about healing and how they link to plants.

笼统说来,它将治疗理念和如何与医疗设备相结合联系了起来。

But one link to the past remains -- Dante's Down the Hatch.

但是仍然有一个与过去联系的环节 —— 丹特开设的“干杯”.
