Memories 记忆 (1)

I’m trying to think of my earliest memory. I vaguely remember (remember a little bit, not in much detail) when my brother was born – I was three years old at the time – but I distinctly remember my first day of kindergarten, when I was around five.

我在努力回想我最初的记忆。我依稀记得（记得一点，不太详细）我弟弟出生的时候——那时我三岁——但在我大概五岁时，我清楚地记得我第一天上幼儿园的情景。

When I look at photos, even more memories come flooding back (memories come to mind) – I remember my school, my classmates, and my teacher, who would constantly remind us to clean up the classroom, because we were always making a mess. I’d completely forgotten the teacher’s name, though, and my mother had to refresh my memory (remind me of a fact I’d forgotten).

当我看照片时，更多的回忆涌上心头，我记得我的学校，我的同学，还有我的老师，他会不断地提醒我们把教室打扫干净，因为我们总是把教室弄得乱七八糟。我已经彻底忘记了老师的名字，母亲不得不刷新我的记忆/帮我想起（提醒我一个我忘记的事实）。

I still have a lot of my toys from when I was a kid. They bring back fond memories (pleasant memories) of long afternoons spent playing with my brother. I also remember a family vacation to Switzerland when I was about eight – that was an unforgettable experience.

我还有很多小时候的玩具。它们勾起了我和弟弟一起玩的漫长下午的美好回忆。我还记得大约八岁的时候，有一次全家去瑞士度假——那是一次难忘的经历。
