ring a bell
It means that somebody has mentioned something that sounds familiar to you,
perhaps you’ve heard it before. In other words, when someone says something that
you believe you’ve heard in the past, alarm bells start ringing and you try to
remember how or why that name or place sounds familiar.
这意味着有人提到了一些听起来很熟悉的东西，也许你以前听过它。
换句话说，当有人说你相信你曾经听过的东西时，警钟开始响起，你试着记住这个名字或地方听起来如何或为何听起来很熟悉。
A: You’ve met my friend Amy, right?
你见过我的朋友艾米，对吧?
B: Hmmm, I’m not sure, but that name rings a bell. Was she the one who went
to Paris last year?
呃，我不太确定，但是这个名字很耳熟。她是去年去巴黎那个么?
