蒜泥说的这个比较常见。但未必是真的记性变坏了。马克土温说:“When I was young, I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.” 甚至你的记性比以前更好所以记得忘记了的事情。人的一个通病就是:“The older I get, I better I was." 现在怎么办呢?马克土温又说:“Forget and forgive. This is not difficult when properly understood. It means forget inconvenient duties, then forgive yourself for forgetting. By rigid practice and stern determination, it comes easy.”
马克最后说: “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
