Where was I 不是我在哪里！这句话聊天时超好用！

不知道是我年纪大了还是咋的

话说到一半，就忘了要说啥了

明明上一秒还要和别人说点啥

下一秒完全就记不起来了 

这时候我们会说「我刚刚说到哪儿了」

这句话在英文里有一个非常地道的说法

那就是「Where was I？」

看美剧的时候经常能听到这句话

一开始还想说这个人有病吗

连自己刚刚在哪儿都不知道

后来一看字幕才明白不是这个意思

英语口语还真的是有趣啊  

当我们一时语塞，突然失忆的时候

该怎么表达呢？

案例：

我刚刚说到哪儿了？

Where was I？

What was I saying?

I just had it!

怎么说来着？

It's on the tip of my tongue...

话就在我嘴边啊！Tongue是舌头，tip是尖端，tip of my tongue很生动，表示就要想起來，但吐不出來。 

How shall I put it?

我该怎么说呢？

有时候没想到怎么措辞，可以说这句，或者有时候别人问你问题，没有直接给答案，需要理一下思绪，也可以说这个。 

What's the word for it...

这个怎么说来着？旁边如果有懂你的人就会帮你补上。

Now, let me see.

让我想想。讲到一半想不出下文可以说Now, let me see.　停下來想想，给自己的对话争取一下时间。

思路被打断，脑袋一片空白

Sorry I lost my train of thought.

train of thought 表示一连串的思考，比如

Please don't interrupt my train of thought when I'm writing.

我写作的时候请不要打断我的思路。

Sorry I lost my train of thought.

我刚刚一下子思路被打断了。

Sorry I spaced out there for a moment.

space out: To lose concentration or become inattentive

使间隔开；变得昏昏沉沉

加宽行距或字距

I was supposed to meet her at 9:00, but I spaced out and didn't get there till 10:30. 

我本来9点就要去见她，但是我不知道咋的走了神，10点半才到。

I completely spaced out during the lecture.

我听讲座的时候整个人都飘了。

I’m such a scatter brain.

我真是脑子乱的不行

我们刚刚在说啥？

I completely forgot what I was saying?

我完全忘记我刚在说啥

What on earth was I talking about?

我到底在说啥？？

I must be loosing my mind, I forgot what we were talking about.

我可能是疯了吧，我不记得我们在说啥。

如果你的记忆力也很差

那一定要看下面的方法👇👇

 Establish Routine 

If you establish specific e-mail and desktop folders for critical documents, you'll know right where to go first.

如果为关键文档建立特定的电子邮件和桌面文件夹，你就会准确地找到它们。

 Go Against Habit 

If you really want to remember something critical, intentionally break the routine surrounding it.

The odd feeling makes you aware that something needs to be done.

如果你真的想要记住一些关键的东西，故意打破它的常规步骤。这种异样会让你意识到有些事情没做。

举个例子，如果你平时把钥匙放在右口袋，今天出门把钥匙放在左口袋，那这样你就不得不打破常规，让你意识到自己原来一直把钥匙放在右口袋。

 Get More Sleep 

If you don't get enough sleep, you'll tax your memory and start forgetting things. Stay rested so you can keep your mind alert.

如果你没有充足的睡眠，会对你的记忆增加负担，并开始忘记事情。保持休息，这样你就可以保持警觉。

 Write Things Down 

The pen is mightier than the board when it comes to encoding the brain.

The actual act of physically writing something down helps to register text in your mind where you can recover it later.

当你的大脑想记牢某样东西时，笔比键盘更有效（所以尽量用笔记录）物理写下某些内容的行为有助于在您的脑海中记录文本，你以后还可以回顾。
