概念思考者與實驗創新者
Are you a creative person? Creative thinking is the key in various fields of expertise.
你是個有創意的人嗎？創意思考在許多專業領域來說都相當重要，
key(n.)關鍵expertise(n.)專業知識、專長
But did you know that there are actually two types of creative thinkers? According to a new finding by researchers at Ohio State University and the University of Chicago, there are typically 2 types of creative thinkers, conceptual innovators and experimental innovators.
但你知道其實有兩種創意思考者嗎？根據俄亥俄州立大學及芝加哥大學共同發表的最新研究發現，有兩種典型的創意思考者：概念思考者與實驗創新者。
typically(adv.)=generally通常
Conceptual innovators are generally younger and seek to communicate specific ideas in their twenties.
概念思考者大多較為年輕，在二十幾歲的時候就試圖溝通特定的想法，
seek to=try to=attempt to試圖要communicate(v.)=convey傳遞、傳達specific(adj.)=particular特定的
They have precise goals for their work. They plan carefully in advance and carry out their ideas systematically.
他們對於他們的工作有明確的目標，事先且仔細的規劃好目標，並有系統地執行。
precise(adj.)明確的=exactcarry out=execute執行systematically(adv.)有系統地
They usually come up with innovative ideas before settling into the conventions of their field.
他們通常會在陷入專業領域的傳統思考框架前，就想出創新的點子。
innovative(adj.)=groundbreaking創新的settle into=get adapted to=be accustomed to適應於、習慣於convention(n.)傳統、常規、慣例
Meanwhile, for experimental innovators, it takes decades of trial and error and knowledge gained to make unusual connections and go beyond the conventions of their domain.
另一方面，實驗創新者要花上好幾年的反覆實驗和收集知識，才能想出獨特的關聯性，進而超越傳統框架。
decade(n.)=10 years十年trial and error反覆試驗domain(n.)=field=area領域
They are ambitious yet vague, so they take much longer to develop, usually reaching their peak in their fifties.
他們通常很有野心但目標不夠明確，所以需要花較長的時間來發展，通常在五十幾歲時達到巔峰。
ambitious(adj.)有野心的vague(adj.)不明確的peak(n.)巔峰
As the lead author of the study said, “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about.”
如同這個研究的第一作者所說的：「很多人相信創意性是僅限於年輕人的，但這其實端看你所談的是哪種創意性。」
exclusively(adv.)僅僅=onlydepends on取決於
Hopefully, the study results can chip away at the favoritism shown to young geniuses and reveal the truth that creativity can blossom at a later stage in life.
但願這個研究結果能夠減弱世人對於年輕天才的偏好，並且揭開真相：人也可以在年紀較大時發揮創造力。
chip away at削弱favoritism(n.)偏袒reveal(v.)揭露=discloseblossom(v.)發展、增強at a later stage在稍後的階段
