一成不變的練習反而沒效率～
The key to learning a new motor skill well is not necessarily how many hours you spend practicing, but the way you practice, according to a study.

subtly(adv.)不明顯地;隱約地;細微地vary(v.)使不同;改變throughout(prep.;adv.)自始至終;在各處process(n.)過程;步驟;(v.)處理;加工

somewhat(adv.)有點;稍微assumption(n.)假定
Instead, it turns out there might be a quicker and more enjoyable way to level up.
取而代之地，研究結果顯示可能有更快也更有趣的方式學習新技能。
instead(adv.)作為替代enjoyable(adj.)有樂趣的
“What we found is that if you practice a slightly modified version of a task you want to master, you actually learn more and faster than if you just keep practicing the exact same thing multiple times,” said the lead researcher.
首席研究員表示：「我們發現到的是，在你練習你想要精通的技能時，若運用稍微不同的方式練習，其結果會比用一成不變的方式練習來得更好更快。」
slightly(adv.)稍微地modified(adj.)改造的;改變的version(n.)版本;說法task(n.)任務;工作exact(adj.)精確的;確切的multiple(adj.)多個的
