46、I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was , what happened in the news and even the day of the week. I’ve been able to do this since I was four.

　　I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs. My mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away neatly. When I think of a sad memory, I do what everybody does--try to put it to one side. I don’t think it’s harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory doesn’t make my emotions any more acute or vivid. I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before. I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on Broadway on the same day---they both just pop into my mind in the same way.

　　我能够从过去的幻年中任选一天，然后马上就能想起来我当天在哪，当天都发生了什么新闻，甚至那天是星期几。我从4岁起，就已经有这种能力了。

　　我从未因为我的大脑吸收了大量的信息而承受不住,我的大脑仿佛可以自如应付这些信 息并有条理的将它们存储起来。当我想起一段伤心往事的时候，和所有人一样，我也试图将 其抛在一边。我觉得这样做并不会由于我的记忆比别人更清晰而变难。强大的记忆力并没有 把我的感情变得更加强烈或深刻。我能回忆起祖父去世时的那天以及头一天我们去医院时我 内心的悲哀。

　　我还记得就在同一天百老汇上演了音乐剧《毛发》一他们就这样同时跃入到我 的脑海中。
