Memory expert Jemima Gryaznov answers some of the most common questions about memory.
1. Why can I remember events in my childhood but not what happened last week
We remember things that have strong connections in our mind, especially emotional connections.
adj. 共同的，常见的，普通的
n. 关系，联系；连接
记忆专家Jemima Gryaznov回答了一些关于记忆的常见问题。为什么我能记得儿时的事，却记不住上周发生的事 我们记住的东西在我们的头脑中有很强的联系，尤其是情感联系。
adv. 尤其，特别；专门，特地
延迟符号
Childhood memories are often very emotional. This is because when we experience things for the first time, we often have strong feelings of fear or excitement. Also, interesting or funny stories from our childhood are often told again and again. As a result, we remember them much better, as retelling events helps fix experiences in our memories.
n. 激动，兴奋
第一次
一次又一次
结果
fix sth in one’s memories:牢记某事
A. What can we learn from all this When remembering something new, try to connect it to our emotions. It is important to connect it with what we already know. Also, we can try to retell what we have learnt to a few others.
connect…to/with/and:把…连接起来
v. （以不同的方式）复述，重新讲述
延迟符号
童年的记忆往往是非常情绪化的。这是因为当我们第一次体验事物时，我们通常会有强烈的恐惧或兴奋感。此外，我们童年的有趣或滑稽的故事经常被一遍又一遍地讲述。因此，我们能更好地记住它们，因为复述事件有助于在我们的记忆中固定经历。
A.我们能从这一切中学到什么 记住新事物时，试着把它和我们的情感联系起来。把它和我们已知的联系起来是很重要的。此外，我们可以试着把我们学到的东西复述给其他人听。

Question 1

2. Do some people really have a photographic memory
A person with a photographic memory could remember every detail of a picture, a book or an event many years later, but no one has proved that there are people who really have photographic memories. Yet, there are some people who do have amazing memories. For example, Daniel Tammet can remember the first 22,514 digits of pi (T) and Stephen Wiltshire can draw a detailed picture of a city from memory after flying over it in a helicopter. They are both good at remembering particular things for a limited time.
fly over:…飞越
be good at doing sth. : 擅长做某事
n. 细节; 详情
v. 证明
adv. 然而; 仍然
的确：用于强调主要动词
最前面的
圆周率
adj. 详尽的，详细的
adj. 有限的
延迟符号
2. 有些人真的有过目不忘的能力吗 一个有过目不忘能力的人可以在许多年后记住一幅画、一本书或一件事的每一个细节，但是没有人证明真的有人有过目不忘的记忆力。然而，有些人确实有惊人的记忆力。例如，Daniel Tammet可以记住圆周率(T)的前22514位数字，Stephen Wiltshire可以在乘坐直升机飞过一个城市后，凭记忆画出一个城市的详细图片。他们都擅长在有限的时间内记住特定的事情。
延迟符号
D. As most of us do not have amazing memories like them, when memorising detailed learning materials, we simply need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn. Asking questions about what we learn also helps with memorisation. Another effective technique to remember things is to group similar ideas or information together so that they can be easily connected to things that are already known.
be curious about: 对…好奇
n. 材料，原料；素材
专注于
adj. 有效的；实际的
v. （使）成组，聚集
adj. 相像的，类似的
延迟符号
D.因为我们大多数人都没有像他们那样惊人的记忆力，所以在记忆详细的学习材料时，我们只需要把注意力集中在重要的思想上，并对我们所学到的东西保持好奇。对我们所学的内容提出问题也有助于记忆。另一种有效的记忆技巧是将相似的想法或信息放在一起，这样就可以很容易地将它们与已知的事物联系起来。

Question 2

Nobody has a photographic memory.

We need to focus on the important ideas and be curious about what we learn when memorising complex learning materials.

3. Why do I forget the new words that I learnt yesterday
Don't worry. This is natural for many people. In1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus published a book called Memory and presented a famous forgetting curve. According to him, the sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning. This means timely review during this period, with a few revisits to what is learnt, can significantly help us to remember the information.
C. So take it easy. You are at a good age in terms of your memory. Make good use of it!

及时复习
review=revisit=go over
adv. 显著地，相当数量地
significant (adj.)
in terms of:就…而言
充分利用 = take the advantage of
放轻松
v. 出版；发行
v. 展示;引见，介绍
n.一段时间，时期
延迟符号
3. 为什么我忘记了昨天学的新单词 别担心。这对很多人来说是很自然的。1885年，赫尔曼·艾宾浩斯出版了一本名为《记忆》的书，提出了一个著名的遗忘曲线。根据他的说法，最严重的记忆丧失发生在学习后的最初阶段。这意味着在这段时间里及时复习，复习一些学过的东西，可以显著地帮助我们记住信息。
C.所以放轻松。就记忆力而言，你正处于一个不错的年龄。好好利用它!

Question 3
Truth
The sharpest loss of memory occurs during the very early period after learning.
Advice
We need to review the information at regular intervals, especially in the first day after learning it.

4. I'm 16, but I sometimes forget things. Is my memory getting worse
Definitely not. Our memory reaches its full power at the age of 25. At that point, we can remember up to 200 pieces of information in a second. After this age, however, the brain starts to get smaller. By the age of 40, we lose 10,000 brain cells every day. By middle age, our memory is significantly worse than when we were young.
reach it’s full power: 达到顶峰
adv. 显著地，相当数量地
by the age of:到…年龄
立刻，马上
up to:达到
4. 我16岁了，但我有时会忘事。我的记忆力变差了吗 绝对不会。我们的记忆力在25岁时达到顶峰。在这一点上，我们可以在一秒钟内记住多达200条信息。然而，在这个年龄之后，大脑开始变小。到40岁时，我们每天会失去1万个脑细胞。到了中年，我们的记忆力明显比年轻时差。
adv. 肯定地，当然
在那时
延迟符号
B. Therefore, one of the golden rules to increase how much we remember is to review the material periodically, especially during the first day after learning. This “spaced review” soon after learning helps build stronger memories and it is more effective than waiting to review everything before exams.
soon after : 不久之后
因此，提高记忆量的黄金法则之一就是定期复习，尤其是在学习后的第一天。这种学习后的“间隔复习”有助于建立更强的记忆，比等到考试前再复习更有效。
adv. 因此，所以
黄金法则
adv. 定期地，周期性地
adj. 隔开的;间隔排列的
