参考答案:6.5、7.0、7.5 三档

每题的三个版本,分别写到对应分数的真实水平——对比着看分数之间的差别,再换成你自己的细节。

6.5 分

The answer is clear and honest but relies on short, blunt statements ('No, not really. I find it quite hard.') with minimal elaboration, typical of Band 6.5.这个回答清晰、诚实,但依赖于简短、直接的陈述句('No, not really. I find it quite hard.'),几乎没有展开,是典型的6.5分水平。

Do you find it easy to remember people’s names?
No, not really. I find it quite hard. At a design workshop last month I met several new people, and by the end I could only remember one name, which was Nam.

不,不太擅长。我觉得这挺难的。上个月在一场设计工作坊上,我认识了好几个新朋友,结果到最后我只记住了一个名字,那就是南。

为什么是这个分数

  • FCNo, not really. I find it quite hard.The answer opens with two short, disconnected statements rather than one combined sentence, giving a blunt, direct confirmation before any example follows, which matches the 6.5 descriptor's expectation of answering directly with minimal elaboration. A 7.0 script would more likely fold these into a single sentence with a connector like 'so' or 'because', but here the plain, choppy delivery is accurate and gets straight to the point about struggling with names.这个回答开头是两个简短、互不相连的陈述句,而不是一个合并的句子,在任何例子出现之前先给出一个直接、干脆的确认,这符合6.5分描述所期望的直接回答、极少展开。7.0分的脚本更可能会用'so'或'because'这样的连接词把它们合并成一句话,但这里这种朴素、断续的表达方式虽然准确,却直截了当地点出了记名字困难这一点。
Do you think it is important to remember people’s names?
Yes, I think it matters a lot. My manager, Khanh, always remembers everyone's name, even new clients, and it makes people feel welcome. I wish I were as good at it as he is.
查看中文翻译

是的,我觉得这很重要。我的经理阿庆总能记住每个人的名字,甚至是新客户的名字,这会让人觉得受欢迎。我真希望自己能像他一样擅长这件事。

为什么是这个分数

  • FCYes, I think it matters a lot.The opinion is stated in one short, direct sentence before the example about the manager begins, with no further build-up or qualification. A higher band would likely expand this opening with a reason before moving to the example. This plain opinion-then-example pattern, without additional linking, is the minimal-development style typical of Band 6.5.这个观点用一个简短、直接的句子陈述出来,然后才开始讲关于经理的例子,没有进一步的铺垫或限定说明。更高分数段可能会在进入例子之前,先用一个理由来扩展这个开场。这种朴素的'观点然后例子'模式,没有额外的连接,正是6.5分典型的极简展开风格。
How do you remember people’s names?
I usually repeat the name in my head a few times right after I hear it. Last week I met a new colleague called An, and I kept saying her name silently until it finally stuck.
查看中文翻译

我通常会在听到名字后立刻在心里默念几遍。上周我认识了一位新同事,名叫安,我一直在心里默念她的名字,直到终于记住了。

为什么是这个分数

  • LRkept saying her name silentlyThe verb phrase 'kept saying...silently' describes the memory technique in completely literal, everyday terms, with no attempt at a more natural collocation like 'repeated it under my breath' that a 7.0 answer might use instead. This is exactly the plain, safe vocabulary the 6.5 lexical descriptor expects, communicating the strategy for remembering the colleague An's name clearly without any risk of misusing a less common phrase.动词短语'kept saying...silently'用完全字面、日常的措辞来描述这个记忆技巧,没有尝试使用像'repeated it under my breath'这样更自然的搭配(这是7.0分回答可能会用的)。这正是6.5分词汇描述所期望的那种朴素、安全的词汇,清楚地传达了记住同事安的名字这一策略,且不存在误用不常见短语的风险。
Have you ever got into any trouble because you couldn’t remember someone’s name?
Yes, once. I called a client Quan instead of his real name during a meeting, and he looked confused. I felt embarrassed and had to apologise quietly afterward.
查看中文翻译

有过一次。在一次会议中,我把一位客户叫成了阿宽,而不是他的真名,他看起来很困惑。我感到很尴尬,事后不得不小声向他道歉。

为什么是这个分数

  • GRAI called a client Quan instead of his real name during a meeting, and he looked confused.Two simple main clauses are joined with a bare 'and', narrating the mistake and its immediate consequence in sequence without any subordination, which is precisely the mostly-simple-sentence pattern the 6.5 grammar descriptor describes. A 7.0 answer would more likely link cause and reaction with 'so' or a participle ('confusing him'), but the plain coordination here still tells the embarrassing story about the client clearly and accurately.两个简单主句仅用一个光秃秃的'and'连接,按顺序叙述了这个失误及其直接后果,没有任何从属结构,这正是6.5分语法描述所说的以简单句为主的模式。7.0分的回答更可能用'so'或分词结构('confusing him')来连接原因和反应,但这里这种朴素的并列结构依然清晰、准确地讲述了关于这位客户的尴尬故事。
How do you feel when people can’t remember your name?
I do not mind much, since I forget names too. At a wedding last year, a distant relative kept calling me by my cousin's name, and I just smiled and corrected her gently.
查看中文翻译

我不太介意,因为我自己也会忘记别人的名字。去年在一场婚礼上,一位远房亲戚一直把我的名字叫成我表姐的名字,我只是笑着温和地纠正了她。

为什么是这个分数

  • GRAsince I forget names tooThe reason is attached with the basic connector ‘since’ as the sentence's only piece of subordination, rather than being developed further or combined with another clause. A 7.0 or 7.5 answer might extend this with a second reason or a more specific detail. This single, correctly formed subordinate clause is the modest grammatical range typical of Band 6.5.这个理由用基础连接词'since'附加上去,作为整句唯一的从属结构,而没有进一步展开或与另一个分句结合。7.0或7.5分的回答可能会用第二个理由或更具体的细节来延伸这一点。这个单一、构造正确的从属分句,正是6.5分典型的适度语法范围。
Do you find it easy to remember people's names?
No, not really. I forget names very quickly, even right after someone introduces themselves, which is a bit embarrassing in front of other people.
查看中文翻译

不,不太擅长。我忘记名字的速度很快,甚至在别人刚自我介绍完之后就忘了,这在别人面前有点尴尬。

Is there anything you do to help you remember a person's name?
Yes, I repeat the name silently in my head a few times. That sometimes helps me remember it later, especially with new colleagues at work.
查看中文翻译

是的,我会在心里默念名字几遍。这有时能帮我之后记住它,尤其是对工作中的新同事。

Have you ever felt bad because you couldn't remember a person's name?
Yes, once with a client. I felt embarrassed because I had already met her twice before, and I didn't want to seem rude.
查看中文翻译

有过一次,是和一位客户。我感到很尴尬,因为我之前已经见过她两次了,我不想显得没礼貌。

How do you feel when people forget your name?
I don't mind too much, because it happens to me all the time too. I just tell them my name again.
查看中文翻译

我不太介意,因为这种事我自己也经常发生。我只是再告诉他们一遍我的名字。

7.0 分

The collocation 'makes a real difference' and the added generalisation 'before it actually sticks' give the answer more shape than 6.5's flatter delivery, while staying more modest than 7.5's idiomatic phrasing.搭配'makes a real difference',以及附加的概括性说法'before it actually sticks',让这个回答比6.5分那种更平淡的表达更有层次,但又比7.5分那种习语化的措辞更为朴素。

Do you find it easy to remember people’s names?
Not particularly, no. At a work event a few weeks ago I met around five new people, and by the time I got home I could only remember two of their names. I usually have to hear a name twice before it actually sticks.
查看中文翻译

不,不算特别擅长。几周前在一场工作活动上,我认识了大约五位新朋友,结果等我到家的时候,我只记住了其中两个人的名字。我通常得听两遍名字,才能真正记住。

为什么是这个分数

  • GRAby the time I got home I could only remember two of their namesThe time clause 'by the time I got home' frames the main clause about forgetting names, using a slightly more advanced time structure than a simple 'when' clause would give. This comfortable handling of a less-common time subordinator, used accurately within a longer narrative sentence, is part of the complex-structure mix Band 7.0 targets, in contrast to the more basic 'so' or 'and' links a 6.5 answer would lean on. It gives the anecdote about the work event a clear, natural timeline.时间状语从句'by the time I got home'为关于忘记名字的主句提供了框架,使用的是比简单的'when'从句稍微高级一点的时间结构。这种自如地运用一个不太常见的时间连接词,且在一个较长的叙述句中准确使用,是7.0分所对应的复杂结构组合的一部分,与6.5分回答通常依赖的更基础的'so'或'and'连接形成对比。它为这段关于工作活动的轶事提供了清晰、自然的时间线。
  • FCI usually have to hear a name twice before it actually sticks.After the specific example about forgetting names at the work event, the speaker adds a generalised observation about their own memory habits, moving the answer from a single anecdote to a broader pattern. That step from specific example to general reflection goes a step further than the flatter 6.5 response would typically go, which would likely stop at the anecdote alone. It rounds off the answer with a self-aware, slightly humorous admission that feels natural rather than rehearsed.在举出工作活动上忘记名字的具体例子之后,说话者又加上了一个关于自己记忆习惯的概括性观察,把回答从单一轶事提升到了更广泛的模式层面。这种从具体例子到概括性反思的推进,比6.5分那种更平淡的回答通常会做的更进一步——后者很可能只停留在轶事本身。它以一段自我意识、略带幽默感的承认为回答收尾,读起来自然而不像是排练好的。
Do you think it is important to remember people’s names?
Yes, I think it makes a real difference. My manager always greets clients by name, even ones he's only met once, and it instantly makes them feel valued. I wish I picked it up as naturally as he does.
查看中文翻译

是的,我认为这确实很有影响。我的经理总是用名字来打招呼,即使是只见过一次的客户,这能让对方立刻感受到被重视。我真希望自己也能像他那样自然而然地做到这一点。

为什么是这个分数

  • LRmakes a real difference'Makes a real difference' is a mildly idiomatic collocation chosen instead of a plain adjective like 'important', giving the opinion a slightly more natural, conversational weight. This one flexible phrase set against otherwise ordinary vocabulary is exactly the Band 7.0 pattern of mostly common words plus a few natural collocations. It's immediately supported by the concrete example of the manager greeting clients by name, which follows right after it.'Makes a real difference'是一个略带习语色彩的搭配,被选用来代替像'important'这样朴素的形容词,为这个观点增添了一点更自然、更口语化的分量。在其余都是普通词汇的背景下,这一个灵活的短语,正是7.0分典型的模式——大多是常见词汇,加上少量自然搭配。紧随其后的关于经理用名字问候客户的具体例子,立刻为它提供了支撑。
How do you remember people’s names?
I generally repeat the name silently a couple of times right after being introduced. I met a new colleague called Linh last week, for example, and kept saying her name in my head until it finally stuck.
查看中文翻译

在被介绍之后,我通常会在心里默念名字几遍。比如说,上周我认识了一位新同事,名叫玲,我一直在心里念叨她的名字,直到终于记住了。

为什么是这个分数

  • LRuntil it finally stuckUsing ‘stuck’ to mean ‘was successfully remembered’ is a natural figurative extension of the literal word, more vivid than a plain phrase like ‘until I remembered it’. It isn't unusual enough to be a standout idiomatic choice, but it shows flexible, comfortable vocabulary beyond the barest wording. That kind of small figurative stretch is what Band 7.0 lexical resource targets.用'stuck'来表示'成功记住了',是对这个字面词汇的一种自然的修辞延伸,比'until I remembered it'这样平淡的短语更生动。它还没有到能算作显眼的习语选择的程度,但它展现出灵活、自如的词汇运用,超出了最朴素的措辞。这种小小的修辞延伸,正是7.0分词汇运用所对应的目标。
Have you ever got into any trouble because you couldn’t remember someone’s name?
Yes, unfortunately. I once called a client by the wrong name halfway through a meeting, and he looked genuinely confused. I was pretty embarrassed and ended up apologising to him afterwards.
查看中文翻译

有过,很不幸。有一次开会开到一半,我叫错了一位客户的名字,他看起来真的很困惑。我当时相当尴尬,事后还是向他道了歉。

为什么是这个分数

  • GRAand ended up apologising to him afterwards‘Ended up + gerund’ is a natural spoken structure describing an unplanned outcome, more developed than a plain past tense verb like ‘and I apologised’. It shows a comfortable, generally accurate complex form without being as varied as a 7.5 answer's grammar might be. That natural but modestly complex pattern is typical of Band 7.0 grammatical range.'Ended up + 动名词'是一种自然的口语结构,用来描述一个未曾计划的结果,比'and I apologised'这样朴素的过去式动词更进一步展开。它展现出一种自如、总体准确的复杂形式,但没有7.5分回答语法中可能出现的那种多样性。这种自然却适度复杂的模式,正是7.0分典型的语法范围。
How do you feel when people can’t remember your name?
I don't mind too much, honestly, since I forget names all the time myself. At a wedding last year, a relative kept mixing me up with my cousin, so I just smiled and corrected her gently.
查看中文翻译

说实话,我不太介意,因为我自己也经常忘记别人的名字。去年在一场婚礼上,一位亲戚一直把我和我表姐搞混,所以我只是笑着温和地纠正了她。

为什么是这个分数

  • LRkept mixing me up with my cousinThe phrasal verb ‘mix up’ is a natural, flexible alternative to a plainer word like ‘confuse’, giving the sentence a more conversational feel. It sits comfortably beyond the barest vocabulary without reaching for anything unusual or figurative. That kind of everyday phrasal verb is characteristic of Band 7.0 lexical resource.短语动词'mix up'是比'confuse'这样朴素的词更自然、更灵活的替代选择,让句子带有更强的口语色彩。它自如地超出了最基础的词汇,又不至于刻意去追求不寻常或修辞性的表达。这种日常的短语动词,正是7.0分词汇运用的特征。
Do you find it easy to remember people's names?
Honestly, no, not at all — I forget a name almost the moment I hear it, even though I remember faces easily. It's a bit of an embarrassing pattern, to be fair.
查看中文翻译

说实话,完全不擅长——我几乎是一听到名字就忘了,尽管我很容易记住别人的长相。说实话,这个模式还挺让人尴尬的。

Is there anything you do to help you remember a person's name?
I do, actually — I repeat the name silently to myself a couple of times right after we're introduced, which helps a little. I'd say it works about half the time.
查看中文翻译

其实我有——在我们被介绍之后,我会在心里默念名字几遍,这多少有点帮助。我觉得这个方法大概一半的时候有效。

Have you ever felt bad because you couldn't remember a person's name?
I have, actually — with a client I'd already met twice, and forgetting her name a third time made me feel genuinely embarrassed. I apologised, but it still bothered me afterwards.
查看中文翻译

其实有过——是和一位我已经见过两次的客户,第三次还是忘了她的名字,这让我感到真的很尴尬。我道了歉,但事后这件事仍然让我耿耿于怀。

How do you feel when people forget your name?
Honestly, it doesn't bother me much, mainly because I'm just as guilty of it myself. I'd say it's an easy thing to forgive.
查看中文翻译

说实话,这没怎么困扰我,主要是因为我自己也一样经常犯这种错。我觉得这是件很容易被原谅的事。

7.5 分

The idiom 'I completely blanked on his name' and the extended strategy description show the natural vocabulary and fuller development typical of Band 7.5.习语'I completely blanked on his name',以及延伸展开的策略描述,展现出7.5分典型的自然词汇和更充分的展开。

Do you find it easy to remember people’s names?
Honestly, I find it pretty challenging to remember people's names. For example, just last week at a networking event near the Dragon Bridge, I met at least four new designers and by the end, I could only recall one name, which was Linh. I usually have to repeat names silently or jot them down in my phone to really make them stick.
查看中文翻译

说实话,我觉得记住别人的名字挺有挑战性的。举个例子,就在上周,在龙桥附近的一场社交活动上,我认识了至少四位新的设计师,结果到最后我只记得住一个名字,那就是玲。我通常得在心里默念名字,或者用手机记下来,才能真正记住。

为什么是这个分数

  • FCI usually have to repeat names silently or jot them down in my phone to really make them stick.The answer extends beyond the single embarrassing anecdote by adding a second, separate coping strategy (repeating silently, or noting names in the phone), rather than stopping once the story about Linh's name is told. That habit of layering a second point onto the first — anecdote, then a broader personal strategy — is the fuller development that marks Band 7.5, going beyond the single reason-plus-example structure typical of 7.0. It gives a concrete, practical detail ('jot them down in my phone') rather than a vague claim about trying harder.这个回答不满足于单一的尴尬轶事,而是又加上了第二个、独立的应对策略(在心里默念,或者用手机记下名字),而不是在讲完关于玲的名字的故事后就停住。这种把第二个观点叠加在第一个之上的习惯——轶事之后紧跟着一个更宽泛的个人策略——正是标志着7.5分的更充分展开,超越了7.0分典型的单一理由加例子的结构。它给出了一个具体、实用的细节('jot them down in my phone'),而不是笼统地说会更努力尝试。
Do you think it is important to remember people’s names?
Yes, I do think it's important to remember people's names. For example, when I first joined my current software studio, our team lead Minh greeted everyone by name during meetings, and it instantly made the atmosphere more welcoming. Honestly, I admire that skill-I tend to forget names quite easily, so I have to repeat them to myself after an introduction.
查看中文翻译

是的,我确实认为记住别人的名字很重要。举个例子,当我刚加入现在这家软件工作室时,我们的组长明在开会时总是叫出每个人的名字,这一下子就让气氛变得更加友好。说实话,我很佩服这种能力——我自己很容易忘记名字,所以在别人自我介绍后,我得在心里反复念叨他们的名字。

为什么是这个分数

  • FCHonestly, I admire that skillRather than only describing the team lead's habit, the answer pauses to add a personal, evaluative reaction to it before continuing with more detail. A 6.5 or 7.0 answer would likely move straight from the example to the next point without this reflective aside. That extra layer of self-aware commentary, admiring a skill rather than just reporting an event, is the evaluative development typical of Band 7.5.这个回答没有只停留在描述组长的习惯上,而是先停下来加入一段个人化、评价性的反应,然后才继续讲更多细节。6.5或7.0分的回答很可能会从例子直接跳到下一点,没有这种反思性的插叙。这种额外的自我意识评论层次——欣赏一种技能,而不仅仅是报告一件事——正是7.5分典型的评价性展开。
How do you remember people’s names?
Honestly, I'm pretty bad at remembering names, so I've developed a habit of repeating the person's name silently a few times in my head right after we meet. For example, just last week I met a new neighbor in the elevator-her name's Thao-and I kept saying 'Thao' to myself all the way up to my apartment. It usually helps make it stick.
查看中文翻译

说实话,我记名字的能力相当差,所以我养成了一个习惯,在见面之后立刻在心里默念对方的名字几遍。比如说,就在上周,我在电梯里认识了一位新邻居——她叫草——我一路上到自己公寓的时候都在心里默念"草"这个名字。这种方法通常能帮我记住。

为什么是这个分数

  • GRAI've developed a habit of repeating the person's name silently a few times in my head right after we meetThe gerund phrase ‘a habit of repeating...’ is embedded as the object of ‘developed’, packing a whole habitual action into a noun phrase rather than a separate clause like ‘I usually repeat the name’. This kind of nominalised structure gives the sentence more grammatical texture than the simpler patterns a 6.5 or 7.0 answer would use for the same idea. That wider, accurate range of structures is what Band 7.5 grammar targets.动名词短语'a habit of repeating...'被嵌入作为'developed'的宾语,把一整个习惯性动作打包进了一个名词短语,而不是像'I usually repeat the name'这样一个独立的分句。这种名词化结构,比起6.5或7.0分回答对同一想法会使用的更简单的模式,给句子增添了更多的语法质感。这种更广泛、准确的结构范围,正是7.5分语法所对应的目标。
Have you ever got into any trouble because you couldn’t remember someone’s name?
Yes, actually, there was this one time at a design networking event near the Dragon Bridge. I ran into a developer who'd been introduced to me just a week earlier, but I completely blanked on his name. I ended up calling him the wrong name during our chat, and only realized my mistake when he gently corrected me. It was pretty embarrassing, and I spent the rest of the evening double-checking people's names in my head.
查看中文翻译

是的,其实有一次,在龙桥附近的一场设计社交活动上。我碰到了一位一周前刚被介绍给我认识的开发人员,但我完全想不起他的名字了。我们聊天时我最后叫错了他的名字,直到他温和地纠正我,我才意识到自己的错误。那真的挺尴尬的,那天晚上剩下的时间我都在心里反复核对大家的名字。

为什么是这个分数

  • LRI completely blanked on his name'Blanked on' is an idiomatic phrasal expression describing a sudden memory lapse, used naturally in place of the plain verb 'forgot' that a lower band would default to. This kind of idiom, deployed accurately and without over-explaining it, is a clear marker of Band 7.5 lexical resource — noticeably more colourful than the everyday vocabulary of a 7.0 answer, but still sounding like natural speech rather than a showcased phrase. It captures precisely the embarrassing moment described next, of calling the developer by the wrong name.'Blanked on'是一个习语化的短语表达,描述突然的记忆空白,被自然地用来代替较低分数段通常会默认使用的朴素动词'forgot'。这种习语,准确运用且不过度解释,是7.5分词汇运用的明显标志——明显比7.0分回答的日常词汇更生动,但听起来依然像自然的口语,而不是刻意展示的短语。它精准地捕捉到了接下来描述的那个尴尬时刻——叫错了那位开发人员的名字。
  • GRAwho'd been introduced to me just a week earlierThe embedded relative clause uses the past perfect ('who'd been introduced') to mark an event further back than the main storyline, a verb-form precision that many lower-band answers avoid by simplifying the timeline. Handling this kind of layered tense accurately inside a relative clause — not just using complex structures, but using the correct tense within them — is exactly the wider, accurate grammatical range Band 7.5 rewards. It also sharpens the irony of the anecdote: this was someone recently introduced, which makes forgetting the name more embarrassing.嵌入的关系从句使用过去完成时('who'd been introduced')来标记一个发生在主线故事之前的事件,这种动词形式的精准运用,是许多较低分数段回答会通过简化时间线来回避的。在一个关系从句内部准确地处理这种分层时态——不仅仅是使用复杂结构,还要在结构内部使用正确的时态——正是7.5分所奖励的那种更广泛、准确的语法范围。它也让这段轶事的讽刺意味更加鲜明:这是一个最近才被介绍认识的人,这让忘记他的名字显得更尴尬。
How do you feel when people can’t remember your name?
Honestly, I don't mind too much when people forget my name, since I know I struggle with names myself. For example, at a Dribbble design meetup near Han River last month, a new developer kept calling me "Minh" instead of my actual name. It was a bit awkward at first, but I just gently corrected him, and we both laughed it off.
查看中文翻译

说实话,别人忘记我的名字我不太介意,因为我知道我自己也很不擅长记名字。举个例子,上个月在韩江附近的一场Dribbble设计聚会上,一位新来的开发人员一直把我叫成"明",而不是我的真名。一开始有点尴尬,但我只是温和地纠正了他,我们俩都一笑而过。

为什么是这个分数

  • LRwe both laughed it off‘Laughed it off’ is an idiomatic phrasal expression conveying that the awkwardness was defused with good humour, more vivid than a plain phrase like ‘we laughed about it’. A lower band would likely settle for that plainer version. This natural, slightly figurative choice, used to close the anecdote lightly, is characteristic of Band 7.5 lexical resource.'Laughed it off'是一个习语化的短语表达,传达出这种尴尬是通过幽默感化解掉的,比'we laughed about it'这样朴素的说法更生动。较低分数段很可能会满足于那个更平淡的版本。这种自然、略带修辞色彩的选择,用来轻松地为这段轶事收尾,正是7.5分词汇运用的特征。
Do you find it easy to remember people's names?
Honestly, no — names slip out of my head almost the instant I hear them, even though faces stick with me for years. It's an oddly lopsided kind of memory that's caused more than one awkward moment.
查看中文翻译

说实话,不擅长——名字几乎是一听到就从我脑子里溜走了,尽管人的长相我能记住好多年。这是一种奇怪的偏科式记忆力,已经造成了不止一次的尴尬场面。

Is there anything you do to help you remember a person's name?
I do, if I'm honest — silently repeating the name to myself two or three times the moment we're introduced, as if I'm trying to burn it in. It works maybe half the time, which is better than nothing.
查看中文翻译

说实话,我有这个习惯——在我们刚被介绍的那一刻,我会在心里默念名字两三遍,就好像要把它硬生生刻进脑子里一样。这方法大概一半的时候有效,总比什么都不做强。

Have you ever felt bad because you couldn't remember a person's name?
I have, unfortunately — blanking on a client's name for a third time, having already met her twice before, which left me quietly mortified for the rest of the meeting. A well-timed apology smoothed it over, but the awkwardness lingered.
查看中文翻译

很不幸,有过——第三次想不起一位客户的名字,而我之前已经见过她两次了,这让我在那次会议剩下的时间里都感到暗自羞愧。一句恰到好处的道歉缓和了局面,但那种尴尬感却挥之不去。

How do you feel when people forget your name?
Honestly, it barely bothers me, given how often I'm guilty of exactly the same thing myself. If anything, it's oddly reassuring to know I'm not the only one whose memory works this way.
查看中文翻译

说实话,这几乎不会困扰我,因为我自己也经常犯一模一样的错误。要说有什么感觉的话,知道不是只有我一个人的记忆力是这样运作的,反倒让我有种奇妙的安心感。
