If you use this approach to study, you can start building those connections earlier. Instead of waiting until you have something memorized before you start connecting ideas, you start exploring immediately. This reduces the burden of memorization and helps you learn faster.

如果你用这种方法来学习，你可以更早的构建知识的连结点。而不是等到你有点印象之后才开始将知识关联起来，你可以在探索中立马开始。这样可以减少你的记忆量，帮助你更快的学习。

When is Memorization Necessary?

什么时候记忆是必需的？

Like all rules, the practice of connecting ideas has places where it doesn’t work terribly well in. When you need to remember bulk information, with no particular meaning, sometimes rote memorization is the best way to go. Human brains are meaning-makers, and learning through connections is an approach built off that function. So when you have to understand copious amounts of information that have no logical relationship, you may struggle to form connections.

就如所有规则一样，关联知识，不是那么容易就能精通。当你必须去记忆大量的知识，但它们没有什么特别的意义，在这种时候，死记硬背是最好的方式。人类的大脑是一个「意义产生机」，通过学习构建知识连结的方式，来关闭这个功能。所以当你要学习大量、丰富而缺乏逻辑关系的知识的时候，你可能难以将知识关联起来。

I hesitate to say this, however, because 95% of information isn’t meaningless, otherwise you wouldn’t bother learning it. There is a pattern, and if you invest some time in finding it, you greatly increase the chances it will stick to the inside of your skull.

我犹豫着要不要说这个，但是，因为95%的知识并不是无意义的，否则你根本就不用去学习。有一种模式，如果你将你的时间投入其中，那将增大在脑袋里保留的机会。
