Why time seems to fly as you get older? | BBC Ideas

And it's because when you're a child, everything's new to you. You're figuring out the rules of the world, you're writing down a lot of memory, and so when you look back at the end of a year, you have a lot of memory of what you've learnt. But when you're much older and you look back at the end of the year, you're probably doing approximately the same stuff you've been doing for the X number of previous years. And so it seems like the year just went by in a flash.
这是因为当你还是个孩子时，一切对你来说都是新的。你在摸索这个世界的规则，你记下很多记忆，所以当你在一年结束时回头看，你对你所学到的东西有很多记忆。但是，当你长大很多，在年末回首往事时，你可能会做着和前几年差不多的事情。所以这一年似乎只是在一瞬间就过去了。



Really the way to feel as though you've lived longer is to seek novelty. So you can start with something simple like putting your wristwatch on your other hand or brushing your teeth with your other hand.
想要感觉自己活得更长，最好的办法就是寻找新鲜事物。所以你可以从一些简单的事情开始，比如把手表戴在另一只手上，或者用另一只手刷牙。
