不知道大家的记性如何呢?

像小编是一定需要行事历跟手机应用程序来帮忙的,

否则一定会忘记很多事情!忘记除了 forget ,还有其他种说法喔!

现在来告诉你八个和记性相关的短语!

-

have no memory / recollection of something 对某事没印象

  • memory (n.) 回忆;记忆
  • recollection (n.) 回忆;记忆

【例句】

go in one ear and out the other 左耳进右耳出

【例句】

别浪费力气教他怎么使用这台新机器了,他是不会记得的。

have a memory / mind like a sieve 容易健忘

  • sieve (n.) 筛子;滤网

因为东西过了筛子就一去不复返了,所以引申来形容记性很差。

【例句】

Sean has a memory like a sieve. I left at least 5 reminders on the fridge about buying milk before he comes home, and now he comes home with empty hands.

Sean 真的是非常健忘。我在冰箱上至少留了五张纸条提醒他下班回家时顺路买罐牛奶。他现在到家了,但双手空空!

slip one’s memory / mind 被(某人)忘记

  • slip (v.) 滑

滑过你的记忆、心,也是在说记忆力不好。

【例句】

I forgot to book a table for the business lunch; it totally slipped my mind.

我忘记跟要和客户谈生意的餐厅订位了,我完完全全忘记这回事⋯⋯

We are worried about Mom because everything keeps slipping her mind recently.

我们有点担心妈妈,因为她最近总是记不住任何事。

on the tip of one’s tongue 知道,但没办法完整想起

  • tip (n.) 末端

在舌头的末端就是指都快要讲出来了,

但就是想不起来,相信很多人都有这个经验吧!

【例句】

The teacher said, "His name is on the tip of my tongue. Just give me a second. Do not give me any hints!"

老师说: "我快想起他的名字了!给我一点时间,千万不要提示我!" 

something escapes / eludes you 知道,但没办法完整想起

  • escape (v.) 逃开
  • elude (v.) 躲避

这边并不是指有东西躲开你,

而是跟 on the tip of one's tongue 一样,想说却记不得全部。

【例句】

I know whom you are talking about, but his name escapes me.

我知道你在说谁,但我想不起她的名字。

I know which restaurant we went to last time, but its name eludes me.

我知道我们上次去的那间餐厅,但我就是想不起来它的名字。

one’s mind is a blank / goes blank 脑袋空白,想不起来

  • blank (n.) 空白 (adj.) 空白的

one's mind is a blank; one's mind goes blank 就跟中文有句话一样: "脑筋一片空白" 。

【例句】

When she said we had met at Sara's birthday 3 months ago, my mind was a blank. It was so embarrassing!

当她说我们三个月前曾在 Sara 的生日派对上见过面,我完全没有印象,超尴尬的。

I try to remember what my wife asked me to buy after picking up the kids, but my mind goes blind.

我尝试努力回想我太太交代我接完小孩要去买的东西,但我完全想不起来。

(all) a bit of a blur 印象模糊,记不太清楚

  • blur (n.) 模糊

补充单词

2.想抹去、忘记不好的回忆,可以用的动词有:

【例句】

他想忘掉跟他前妻所有的回忆,因为她跟他最好的朋友偷情。

Let's bury this bad memory, and look forward to the future. I believe we will have a better life!

一起把这段不好的回忆忘了吧!我们一起向前看,相信我们一定会有更棒的日子的!
