I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was, what happened in the news and even the day of the week. I've been able to do this since I was four. I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs. My mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away neatly. When I think of a sad memory, I do what everybody does - try to put it to one side. I don't think it's harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory doesn't make my emotions any more acute or vivid. I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before. I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on Broadway on the same day — they both just pop into my mind in the same way. - 13 -
参考译文

我可以从过去53年中任意挑选一个日子,然后马上就知道那一天我在哪里、新闻里发生了什么,甚至还能知道那天是星期几。我从四岁起就具备了这种能力。

我从未因大脑吸收的信息量过大而感到不堪重负。我的大脑似乎能够从容应对,而且信息都被整齐地储存起来。当我想到一段悲伤的记忆时,我会做每个人都会做的事——试着把它放到一边。我并不觉得因为我的记忆更清晰,这件事对我来说就更困难。强大的记忆力并不会让我的情感变得更加敏锐或更加生动。我能回忆起祖父去世的那一天,以及前一天我们去医院时我所感到的悲伤。我同样记得音乐剧《毛发》在同一天于百老汇首演——这两段记忆都以同样的方式浮现在我的脑海中。

翻译思路

本文选自英国《卫报》一篇关于超常自传体记忆(hyperthymesia)的文章。翻译要点:首句pick a date译为"挑选一个日子",know instantly译为"马上就知道";第二段overwhelmed with译为"因……而不堪重负",cope译为"从容应对",stored away neatly译为"整齐地储存";put it to one side译为"放到一边";acute or vivid分别译为"敏锐或生动";末句pop into my mind译为"浮现在脑海中",they both指两段记忆需明确译出。
