2013年英語二考研閱讀翻譯

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.

我能從過去的五十三年中挑個日子，然后很快反應出自己在哪兒，當天有什么新聞，甚至是星期幾。從四歲起，我就有了這種能力。

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 Hair opened on Broadway on the same day - they both just pop into my mind in the same way.

我從來不會因為大腦吸收的信息量龐大而感到難以承受。我的大腦似乎有能力應對，而信息的儲存也有條有理。我想起傷心往事的時候，也和大家一樣--盡量擱到一邊不管。我不認為記得越清就越難忘記。驚人的記憶力并沒有使我的情緒變得更為敏感或者更加細膩。我能夠記得祖父去世的那天以及前一天我們?nèi)メt(yī)院時我有多么難過。我也記得音樂劇《毛發(fā)》是在這天首登百老匯的--這兩件事情以同樣的方式迅速跳進我的腦海。
