and I say "I study memory," they usually want to tell me how they have trouble remembering names, or they've got a relative who's got Alzheimer's or some kind of memory problem, but I have to tell them I don't study when people forget.
我就说，“我是研究记忆的。” 他们一般都会告诉我，他们很难记住别人的名字呀， 他们有个亲戚得了痴呆症呀， 或者一些和记忆有关的问题。 然后我就告诉他们， 我不研究人的遗忘。
