看了《唐人街探案 2》,里面刘昊然有照相式记忆,让我想起了钱钟书。
乔冠华说:“钟书的脑袋不知是怎么生的,过目不忘,真是 photographic memory(照相式记忆)。”
Eidetic memory (/aɪˈdɛtɪk/; sometimes called photographic memory) is an ability to vividly recall images from memory after only a few instances of exposure, with high precision for a brief time after exposure, without using a mnemonic device.
eidetic 这个词在 COCA(Corpus of Contemporary American Englis)中,词频排不上号, not in top 60,000 lemmas,也没有学习型词典收录。
ei·det·ic /aɪˈdetɪk/
a.
(头脑中的印象)异常清晰的,似在眼前的
» an eidetic memory 历历在目的记忆
» an eidetic image 重现形象(尤指儿童在幻觉中看到的过去事物的清晰形象)
n.
能看到重现形象者
我觉得这词长得很像 identical 。
