Make sure to button up your coat." It can also be a command, like "Button up your shirt before the meeting!" This phrase is mostly used when someone is putting on or adjusting their clothes to look neat or stay warm.

艾宾豪斯的遗忘曲线遗忘的过程最常用「遗忘曲线」来解释（又叫艾宾浩斯曲线，以 19 世纪 80 年代的德国心理学家赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯命名）。这条曲线描述了随着时间过去，我们对学过内容的记忆会逐渐减弱。
根据遗忘曲线研究显示，我们在学习后短短一天内就会忘记约 65% 的内容，一周后甚至可能高达 75%。这也是为什么学语言常常觉得学了又忘、进步缓慢。如果没有用对方法，努力可能很快就被大脑「清除」。
如何学得更快、记得更牢
为了帮助你突破学了就忘的困境，我们打造了 MyLingo Tutor - 一套聪明又高效的学习系统，专为加快语言学习与提升记忆力而生。它会针对你学过的每个单字建立专属的「学习曲线」，自动安排最佳的复习时机，让你在对的时间复习对的内容，有效防止遗忘，让学习变得更轻松、更有成效。
