Memories 记忆 (2)
My most traumatic memory is of my uncle dying in a car crash when I was ten. He was only 32 years old – younger than my dad – and the memory of the funeral still haunts me (the sad/profound memory stays with me). I still wear a bracelet that was a Christmas present from him; it serves as a sobering reminder (it provides a serious reminder) not to take a single day of life for granted.
我最具创伤性的记忆是我叔叔在我十岁时死于车祸。他只有32岁--比我父亲还要年轻--葬礼的记忆仍然萦绕在我心头(悲伤/深刻的记忆一直伴随着我)。我仍然戴着他送给我的圣诞礼物的手镯；它深刻的提醒着我不要把生命中的每一天都视为理所当然。
Unfortunately, I have a terrible memory for people’s names, unless the name is unusual or particularly memorable. Just the other day, I was talking to an acquaintance from church and my mind went blank (I couldn’t think of anything) when I tried to think of her name. I racked my brain (tried hard to remember something), but nothing came to mind. My husband gently reminds me that I really need topay more attention, because it makes a bad impression when I call people by the wrong name.
不幸的是，我对人名的记忆力很差，除非名字不寻常或特别容易记住的。就在前两天，我和一个教会的熟人聊天，当我努力要想起她的名字的时候，我的脑子一片空白（我什么也想不起来）。我绞尽脑汁，但什么也想不起来。我丈夫温柔地提醒我，我真的需要更加注意，因为叫错别人的名字会给人留下不好的印象。
