The human brain is truly remarkable.

人類的大腦確實非同尋常。

In addition to controlling your every thought and most of the functions within your body,

除了控制你的每一個想法和身體內的大部分功能外，

it also stores and recalls a lifetime of memories, which means that it has an absolutely massive memory storage capacity.

它還能存儲和回憶一生的記憶，這意味著它擁有絕對巨大的記憶存儲能力。

Scientists believe it's equal to 2.5 petabytes, or 2.5 million gigabytes of memory.

科學家們認為，這相當於 250 萬千兆字節的內存，

Which, fun fact, is the equivalent of over 60,000 4K Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 movies.

而有趣的事實是，這相當於超過 60,000 部 4K 的保羅-布拉特《百貨戰警 2》電影。

That's really impressive.

真是令人印象深刻。

But it also makes you wonder if all that is true, why are you humans so bad at remembering things?

但這也讓你疑惑，如果這一切屬實，為什麼人類的記性還這麼差？

Let's go over why the human brain has this major character flaw.

讓我們來看看人類大腦為什麼會有這種重大的性格缺陷。

Cue the intro!

請下前奏！

You misplace your keys, don't remember names you were just told, and forget what you were saying mid-sentence!

你把鑰匙放錯地方了、剛剛告訴你就忘記別人的名字，還有說到一半就忘了自己在說什麼。

Seriously, what's up with all this?

說真的，這一切是怎麼回事？

There are actually a few reasons for your everyday forgetfulness.

其實，日常健忘有幾個原因。

The first is multi or dual-tasking, which is when you're doing more than one thing at the same time.

第一種是多重或雙重任務，即同時做多件事。

This is usually the reason why you lose your train of thought when you're speaking or why you can't find something you just put away–you were too busy thinking about or doing something else.

這通常是你說話時思路不清的原因，也是你找不到剛放好的東西的原因，因為你忙著想或做別的事情。

There's also something called blocking, and no, I did not invent this!

還有一種東西叫阻斷，不是，這個字不是我發明的。

This is when, no matter how hard you try, you just can't remember something that you're sure you know.

這個是，無論你如何努力，你就是記不起一些你確信的事情，

It's most likely caused by another memory, similar to the one you're looking for, temporarily preventing you from coming up with the one you want.

這很可能是由於另一個與你正在尋找的相似記憶暫時阻止你回憶出你想要的那個記憶所引起的。

Another kind of obvious cause of forgetfulness is that you simply forgot.

另一種明顯的健忘原因是你根本就忘了。

This can happen to old memories that you don't often think about. Kind of like a "use-it-or-lose-it" scenario.

這可能會發生在你經常不經意間想起的舊記憶中，就像是用完即丟的情景。

It's probably where all your middle school memories are stored.

你所有的中學記憶可能都存放在這裡。

But this can also happen to brand-new information that's stored in your short-term memory and didn't have enough time or something memorable about it to become a long-term memory–like someone's name.

但這種情況也可能發生在全新的資訊上，這些資訊存儲在你的短期記憶中，但沒有時間或難忘的東西將其變成長期記憶，比如某人的名字。

And finally, there's age.

最後是年齡。

As you age, the brain goes through some changes, like shrinking and losing connections and communication between brain cells.

隨著年齡的增長，大腦會發生一些變化，如萎縮、失去腦細胞之間的連接和交流。

This leads to a cognitive decline and challenges with memory.

這會導致認知能力下降和記憶力下降。

So, it's normal to become a little more forgetful as you get older.

所以隨著年齡的增長，變得有點健忘是很正常的。

This channel is 10 years old, so that means I'm 6,000 in internet years.

這個頻道已經十年了，也就是說，我的網路年紀是 6000 歲。

Did I leave the oven on?

我有沒有關烤箱啊？

Wait a minute, where are my keys?

等一下，我的鑰匙呢？

Oh wait, I don't have a car! Where was I? Oh yeah.

哦，等等，我沒有車。我說到哪兒了？ 哦，對。

If your bad memory starts to interfere with your ability to work, live independently, and have a social life, you should talk to your doctor about the possibility of a more serious condition.

如果你的記憶力不好開始影響你的工作、獨立生活和社交能力，你就應該向醫生諮詢是否有更嚴重的疾病。

But needing to retrace your steps to find your keys, avoiding your neighbor because you can't remember if their name was Brad or Bryan (it was actually Chester, yikes),

但需要原路返回才能找到鑰匙、避開你的鄰居，因為你不記得他們的名字是布拉德還是布萊恩（實際上是切斯特，哎呀），

and having to ramble on about something until you can remember your point are all perfectly normal behaviors.

還有必須喋喋不休地談論某件事直到你記住自己的觀點，這些都是完全正常的行為。

Your brains got a lot of work to do, okay? Just give it a break!

你的大腦有很多工作要做，好嗎？讓他休息一下。

So, are you bad at remembering things?

那麼，你記性不好嗎？
