词义辨析

• He lost his memory after the war.那次战争后他丧失了记忆。
• His address slipped my memory.我一时想不起他的通讯处。

memory, mind, recollection, remembrance, reminiscence

常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 这好像是很久以前的事了。

   误 It seems already distant memory.

   正 It seems already a distant memory.

   析 memory意为“回忆”“回忆中的人或事”,是可数名词。

2. 他没有把我的话记住。

   误 He didn't commit what I said to the memory.

   正 He didn't commit what I said to memory.

   析 commit sth to memory是固定短语,表示“把某事记住”, memory前没有定冠词。

3. 他能靠记忆逐字复述老师在课堂上讲过的东西。

   误 He could repeat what the teacher had said in class word by word from the memory.

   正 He could repeat what the teacher had said in class word by word from memory.

   析 表示“靠记忆”,应该说from memory,而不是from the memory或from one's memory,即在memory前既不用定冠词,也不用物主代词。

4. 她对数字有着非凡的记忆力。

   误 She has an extraordinary memory of figures.

   正 She has an extraordinary memory for figures.

   析 memory后接for可表示对某物的记忆力。

5. 很久以前的事,在我脑子里还很清晰。

   误 A remote memory is still fresh in my mind.

   正 The memory of a remote day is still fresh in my mind.

   析 可以说a remote day〔time,place〕; in the remote past, in the remote future,但不能说remote memory。
