重新编织完整的记忆

To Relive Our Past Memories

最近我发送给我一位几十年不曾联络的同学的讯息：

Recently I sent a text message to a varsity mate whom i haven't met for three decades. The message reads:

“记得在大学里您曾经用电单车载我意外地撞到路旁的石碑，我整个人弹飞起来后坐在斜坡的草坪上。幸好我却没有絲毫的皮肉伤。”

“I remember I was with you as a pillion passenger when the motorbike accidentally bumped at a roadside milestone near the Student Union House. I was ejected from my seat to fly in the air before I was landed on a grassy slope. Thank God I suffered not a slightest injury.”

他给我的回复是：
“别来无恙？怎么可能忘记你呢？只是不太记得你讲的那幕惊险的意外。”

My friend replied me:

“How are you? How could I not remembering you? But I really can't remember the accident you were mentioning.”

人们的记忆往往是很奇妙的。

Man’s memory power is really inconceivable.

有一些事情我们记得，别人记不起。

Certain things that we  remember but others don't.

有一些事情我们记不起，别人却记得清清楚楚。

On the hand, certain things that we have forgotten totally but others can remember vividly.

个人片面的回忆可以经过和朋友们的联系和沟通，编织成一个完整的记忆。

Fragments of our memory could be compiled and reorganised to generate a complete memory if we care to reconnect with our friends. Together we could share and reconstruct the fragmented memories of each and everyone of our friends, making our past memories more lively and vividly.
