English term or phrase: It's counterintuitive to a lot of students.
Connie Sadler, director of IT security at Brown University, says one of her biggest challenges is convincing students that their brand-new machines may already need several hours worth of updates. "It's counterintuitive to a lot of students. But if that computer shipped from the manufacturer three months ago, it's already vulnerable coming out of the box," she says.

很多学生根本无法相信


Explanation:
Very simple Chinese, but that's what it means. If something is counterintuitive, it goes against common sense, and the result is that people have a hard time believing it, even if you explain it thoroughly.
The usual caveat (I am not a native Chinese speaker) of course applies.

Explanation:
这与很多学生的思维方式(或说惯性思维)正相反。

假设一个例子:有人说煤球是白的。这就与很多人的思维方式(或说惯性思维)正相反。 如果将来真出现了白色的煤球,很多人需要很长时间才会适应,因为it\'s counterintuitive to a lot of people

another example:

在中国去商店花5.5 yuan 买东西, 你给店员10元,他会用10-5.5=4.5
\"找您块4块5\"。 用总数减去价钱,等于该找的钱,这就是我们中国人的intuitive(思维方式,惯性思维,定势思维)

同样的事,在美国的商店,算法就变了。他们习惯用加法:先给你两个quarters, 告诉你that\'s 6 dollars. 然后把四个$1 纸币逐一给你,口中念念有词:that\'s 7, that\'s 8, ...., that\'s 10. 这时整个过程才算完事。

第一次去7-11 就经历了这事,心想这人怎么这么笨?后来再到其它商店,才发现他们都是这样算的。他慢慢蹭蹭地在那儿算加法,你还不能不耐烦,你不耐烦,他就会数错了。

这就是他们的intuition. 对我们来说,这就是counterintuitive 的。

定势思维也不错。
