1.Are you good at memorizing things?
I have to say, I’m renowned for having a photographic memory. For some people, information just goes in one ear and out the other, but I always retain things that I have seen or heard.
不得不說(shuō)，我因過(guò)目不忘而出名。對(duì)于很多人來(lái)說(shuō)，聽(tīng)信息都是左耳聽(tīng)右耳冒。但是我總能記住我聽(tīng)過(guò)的和看過(guò)的事。
2.How do you memorize things?
I don’t have any tried and tested method for memorizing information, I think it just comes naturally to me. I’ve seen shows on TV where memory specialists have certain techniques, for example imagining your mind is a house and putting information into rooms within that house.
我從沒(méi)有反復(fù)考慮過(guò)記信息的方法。我認(rèn)為我很自然的就記住了。我在電視節(jié)目中看過(guò)一些記憶專家有一些記東西的技巧，比如：想象你的腦袋是一間房子，把信息放在那間房子的空間里。
3.Have you ever forgotten something that is important?

Oh my goodness, yes! I once forgot an ex-girlfriend’s birthday whilst I was at university – it just totally slipped my mind. I was blissfully unaware, until I saw some flowers and they jogged my memory. Let’s just say, I wasn’t in her good books for a long time.
噢，天哪!有過(guò)一次。那是在我上大學(xué)的時(shí)候，我忘記了前女友的生日。我完全忘了這回事。我完全沒(méi)察覺(jué)到，直到我看見(jiàn)一些花才想起來(lái)有這么一會(huì)事。因?yàn)檫@事，她很久沒(méi)有理我。
4.How do you remember something important?
I’m a huge fan of lists. They can help to organize my thoughts and refresh my memory if I lose my train of thought. In any case, I find it’s always easier to commit something to memory once it’s been written down.
我喜歡列個(gè)表格。這樣可以縷清思路。即使我忘了思路，也可以回憶出來(lái)。在任何情況下，我發(fā)現(xiàn)寫下要做的事就很容易記住了。
5.Who do you think can remember things easier? The old or the young?
I think people of all ages can either have a memory like an elephant, or like a sieve. My grandmother is 93, but I’m regularly blown away by how much she can recall from her past. She'll often take a trip down memory lane by telling stories from her childhood.
我認(rèn)為所有年齡段的人都會(huì)有一些記憶好的人和記憶力不好的人。我姥姥93歲了，我有時(shí)候會(huì)被她經(jīng)常能清晰回憶起她年輕的事情感到驚訝。她時(shí)常回憶過(guò)去，講起兒童時(shí)期的一些故事。
