智能时代我们丧失的能力

Memorizing phone numbers

记电话号码的能力

It was a hassle remembering numbers. Now we simply add them to our contacts list. That usually works well unless our device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

记数字是个麻烦，现在我们只需将11位的电话号码添加到联系人列表。如果我们的手机不出现丢失、被盗或损坏的情况，这种做法通常还很好用。

No one can be expected to remember all their contact numbers. What we can do is memorize 5 of our most important contact numbers. This should include a mixture of family, friends and business.

没有人会记得所有的联系号码。我们能做的就是记住5个最重要的联系号码。应包括家庭、朋友和生意上的联系人的电话号码。

If you're really ambitious you can memorize 5 contacts for each category.

如果你真的想自己记住电话号码，记住每个分组中的5个联系人即可。

【知识点津】

hassle n.困难的事情； 麻烦的事情； 争论

例句：

Send them an email—it's a lot less hassle than phoning.

给他们发个电邮吧，这比打电话省事多了。
