STORY:
Dozens of children took part in a “holistic brain improvement” class at the Electrical Museum of Taman Mini Indonesia Indah in Jakarta on Monday.
周一，十几位小朋友在雅加达的塔曼迷你印尼英达电气博物馆，参加了“全脑开发”课程。
One of the activities was to allow the students to identify colors while blindfolded. A wooden drum plays in the background. Then the student is asked to guess the color of a ball.
其中一项课程活动，是让学生蒙住眼睛猜颜色。木鼓声在背后播放着，然后学生被要求猜球的颜色。
Surprisingly, every student made the right guess.
令人惊讶的是，每位学生都猜对了。
[Cahya Yudi Widiyanto, Holistic Brain Improvement]:
“The brain works in waves or frequencies. It means the brain doesn’t need help from the eyes or others senses to discern situations. We use a wooden drum to improve the brain’s performance because the sound from the drum can improve the brain’s wave or frequency.”
[卡亚尤迪威弟雅图，全脑开发]：
“大脑以脑电波或频率的形式运作。这意味着大脑并不需要眼睛的帮助或其他感官来辨别情况。我们使用木鼓来改善大脑的效能，因为鼓声可以提高大脑的波或频率。”
This particular method was experimented on youth ages 5 to 15 years. It also allows children to do other activities with their eyes closed – even reading, drawing and bicycling.
这个特殊方法以五到十五岁的青少年为实验对象。这个方法也能让小孩能够闭着眼睛从事其它活动—甚至阅读、画图、骑脚踏车。
Another activity demonstrated the ability of the brain to multi-task. The students were asked to remember dozens of words that were said to them, while they did another activity, such as drawing.
另一个活动展示了大脑一心多用的能力。学生被要求在从事其它活动（例如画图）的同时，记忆十几个同时被告知的单字。
Without a doubt, the students could remember the words that were said to them.
无庸置疑地，学生们能够记住那些单字。
A unique discovery from this method shows that the brain’s performance corresponds with one’s moral qualities. The higher one’s moral values are, the better the brain performs.
这个方法还有一个独特的发现，显示了大脑的效能和人的品德水准相辅相成。一个人的道德价值观愈高，他大脑的运作就愈强。
It lets the children discern good from bad.
它让孩子们辨别好与坏。
[Cahya Yudi Widiyanto, Holistic Brain Improvement]:
“They are able to describe what happens when they do one act. They are able to describe, so one person is able to predict what will happen if they do one act. So one can be more diligent and improve moral quality because one can discern right from wrong. If one does a good deed, one would expect a good outcome. It makes ones heart become more truthful. This is special."
[卡亚尤迪威弟雅图，全脑开发]：
“当他们做一个行为，他们能够描述将发生什么事。因为他们能够描述，所以当他们做一个行为时，能够去预测会发生什么事。所以，一个人可以分辨是非，他可以更努力并且提升道德水准。如果一个人做了好事，那么他可以期望一个好的结果。它使人的心变得更真诚。这很特别。”
This “Holistic Brain Improvement” method can be used on children to help them do better in school and to help build moral character.
这个‘全脑开发’方法可以用来帮助孩子在校表现更好，并且帮助他们建立品德。
