Our memories for what happened are not reality.

我們對所發生事情的記憶並不是現實。

Memory is the pattern of neural activity that represents the sights, sounds, smells, feelings, information, language that you experienced when you learned something in the first place.

記憶是一種神經活動模式，它代表著你最初學習某些知識時所經歷的視覺、聽覺、嗅覺、感覺、資訊和語言。

It's reactivated as a neural circuit in your brain.

它作為神經迴路在你的大腦中重新激活。

In a human brain, there's just under 100 billion neurons.

在人的大腦中，有不到 1000 億個神經元。

One neuron is better or worse able to communicate with the neuron that it's connected to, or one of the 10,000 that it's connected to.

一個神經元與它所連接的神經元或與它所連接的一萬個神經元中的一個神經元進行交流的能力有強有弱。

Those synapses tend to strengthen when they're used repeatedly and effectively.

當這些突觸被反覆有效地使用時，它們往往會得到加強。

When they're not used repeatedly or when they're used rarely or in a mistimed manner, then those synapses tend to weaken.

如果不反覆使用，或者很少使用，或者使用的時機不對，那麼這些突觸就會減弱。

And the strengthening and the weakening of those synapses is an active biochemical process that makes those adjustments, and when those adjustments persist, that's what we call memory.

而這些突觸的加強和減弱是一個活躍的生化過程，它使這些調整得以進行，當這些調整持續存在時，這就是我們所說的記憶。

This is the part of your brain that links together the sights, the sounds, the smells, the feelings, the language, the information, so that they become connected into a neural circuit.

這是大腦的一部分，它將視覺、聽覺、嗅覺、感覺、語言和資訊連接在一起，從而形成一個神經迴路。

It turns out that every time we recall a memory for something that happened, we have the opportunity to change it, often not consciously.

事實證明，每當我們回憶起曾經發生過的事情時，我們都有機會改變它，但往往不是有意識的。

If somebody else experienced the same event, they might add some information that we agree with, and so we'll add that to our memory.

如果有其他人經歷了同樣的事件，他們可能會補充一些我們同意的資訊，是以我們會把這些資訊添加到我們的記憶中。

We're not simply reproducing what it is that we had experienced.

我們不是在簡單地複製我們曾經的經歷。

We're reconstructing, we are building a new experience, and we tend to build those experiences according to the stories that make sense to our minds.

我們在重建，我們在構建新的體驗，而我們傾向於根據我們頭腦中的故事來構建這些體驗。

By recognizing that we all have a distorted understanding and recollection of the perception called memory, it demands that you act in the world with a certain sense of humility and empathy for others.

認識到我們每個人對被稱為記憶的感知的理解和回憶都是扭曲的，這就要求你在世界上行事時要有一定的謙卑感和對他人的同情心。

And so the more that we understand about the biology of memory, the science of memory, the more we can develop a better relationship with it.

是以，我們對記憶的生物學、記憶的科學瞭解得越多，就越能與記憶建立更好的關係。

Your identity is so closely tied to your ability to remember.

你的身份與你的記憶能力息息相關。

Your ability to remember what happened, the story of your life, is really who we say we are.

你記住所發生事情的能力，你生命中的故事，就是我們所說的真正的自己。
