You wake up one morning to find a strange manstanding in your kitchen; worse than that, heseemsto have made himself completely at home.
你一早醒來，發(fā)現你的廚房里站著一個陌生人。更糟糕的是，他似乎像在自己家一樣隨意。
Someone's child is sitting in the living room watchingtelevision, on which somebody or other isgiving aspeech while standing next to a bust of some oldguy.
不知誰家的孩子正坐在客廳看電視，電視里播放著一個人站在一位老者的半身像旁高聲演講著。
Who are these people? Andwhere's your family?
這些人是誰?你的家人去哪兒了?
If you suffered from the neurological disorder called “facial agnosia,” a twilight-zonestyleexperience of this sort might be a reality.
如果你患上了一種腦神經失調的面孔失認癥，那么像這樣模糊不清的“過渡”式的經歷或許是一個事實。

面孔失認癥常出現于人們大腦的右半球被打擊或損傷后。
People with facial agnosia lose the ability to recognize even the most familiar faces:
患有面孔失認癥的人會失去辨認面孔的能力，即使是最熟悉的人也不列外：
in this case a husband anddaughter, the president of the United States and a bust of AbrahamLincoln.
比如丈夫或者女兒，美國的總統(tǒng)或者亞伯拉罕林肯的半身像。
In severe cases anexamining physician will be able to hold up a photograph of him or herselfand, seated in front ofthe patient with facial agnosia, ask if they recognize this person—to noavail.
在嚴重的情況下，檢查的醫(yī)生會拿著一張自己的照片，坐在面孔失認癥患者的前面，詢問他們是否認識這個人，但是完全不起作用。
