Concentration（专注）
1 Is it difficult for you to stay focused on something?
对你来说，保持专注于某件事情是否很困难?
Yes, I've got a poor concentration span. Well, a lot of the time, anyway. There are times when I can focus really well - when I've had a good night's sleep, or when I am feeling calm and confident. But if I am stressed or nervous, I find it hard to concentrate on things and I am easily distracted.
是的，我的注意力很不集中。好吧，不管怎样，很多时候都是如此。有的时候，我可以很好地集中注意力--当我睡了一个好觉，或者当我感到平静和自信时。但如果我有压力或紧张，我发现很难集中精力做事，而且容易分心。
2 What do you do to help you concentrate?
你做什么来帮助你集中注意力?
I put on noise-cancelling headphones - you know, those kind of headphones that play music but do not allow other external sounds to enter your ears! I put on light classical music, and I make sure I shut the door and I tell my friends and family that I need to study in peace.
我戴上了消除噪音的耳机——你知道，这种耳机可以播放音乐，但不允许其他外部声音进入你的耳朵!我放上轻古典音乐，关上门，告诉我的朋友和家人我需要安静地学习。
3 What may distract you when you are trying to stay focused?
当你试图集中注意力时，什么会分散你的注意力?
When I am trying to stay focused I can get easily distracted by many things. Firstly, my own thoughts start to wander off, and I suddenly realise I am staring out of the window thinking about something completely different and not focusing on my studies. Sometimes if I hear music or my parents or friends talking outside the room I start to lose my concentration. Things like that.
当我试图集中注意力时，我很容易被很多事情分散注意力。首先，我自己的想法开始走神，我突然意识到我正盯着窗外思考着完全不同的事情，而不是专注于学习。有时，如果我听到音乐或我的父母或朋友在房间外谈话，我就会开始失去注意力。诸如此类的事情。
4 When do you need to be focused?
你什么时候需要专注?
Usually I need to concentrate and be focused when I am doing homework. Some people can study when there is a lot of noise around them, but I can't, I have to be in complete silence. I must be in a place where there is no music, no household noise, no people talking… total silence. Maybe I am not good at concentrating and I get distracted too easily… but that's just the way I am. It's my personality.
通常情况下，我在做作业时需要集中精力和注意力。有些人可以在周围有很多噪音的时候学习，但我不能，我必须在完全沉默的情况下。我必须在一个没有音乐、没有家庭噪音、没有人说话的地方......完全安静。也许我不善于集中注意力，我太容易分心了......但这就是我的方式。这是我的个性。
