Repeatedly counting up to 21 consecutive exhalations [Ed. note: presume inhalations occurred as well.]

在数到21的时间里连续吐气，反复做（设想在这期间也有吸气发生）。

Allowing the mind to rest naturally rather than trying to suppress the occurrence of thoughts.

让头脑自然休息，不要试图去压制头脑里产生出来的思维。

The students in both classes took the GRE (Graduate Record Examinations; the standardized tests considered for grad school application) before and after the two-weeks of class, as well as tests of memory and distractibility, where they counted their "task-unrelated thoughts" while doing things that required concentration.

两个班级的学生在上这两星期课的先后都参加了GRE考试，还进行了记忆力和注意力分散的测试，在测试中他们对需要集中注意力时产生的“与任务无关的思维”进行了计数。

RESULTS: Scores improved in the mindfulness-trained group, but not the nutrition-trained group. For one, their average GRE verbal score went from 460 to, two weeks later, 520. They also improved on tests of working memory and focus (had fewer task-unrelated thoughts).

结果：参加正念培训班的学生成绩有了提高，但参加营养学培训班的学生却没有改进。正念培训班学生的GRE成绩由两周前的460分提高到了520分，对短期记忆力和注意力集中进行测试的成绩也比以前有了提高（与任务无关思维的次数减少了）。
