remember

★★★★★

🇺🇸 /ɹɪmˈɛmbɚ/ 🇬🇧 /ɹɪˈmɛmbə/

verb 编号: R01394 牛津3000 BNC #346 COCA #379

remember 的核心是“把某人、某事或某个行动放在心里”：既可以指从记忆中想起，也可以指记住、牢记并按要求去做；还可引申为纪念、代为问候或在遗嘱中留给某人财物。

💡 记忆钩子

把 remember 想成“把东西放在脑海里”：已经放进去的东西可以被重新想起（s1），正在学习的东西要放进去记住（s2），重要的话要一直放在心上（s3），要做的事也要记在心里并完成（s4）；这个“放在心里”的动作还可以扩大到记住并纪念某些人或事情（s9）。

📝 学习建议

先掌握“想起”以及“记得做某事”这两个最常用义项，再学习“牢记”和“纪念”等扩展用法。
不要把 remember 只理解成“回忆过去”；在 remember to do 中，它表示记得去做尚未完成的事，而 remember doing 表示记得已经做过某事。
remember 本身不等于“提醒别人”；表示提醒通常用 remind，旧式的“提醒”义只见于少数过时用法。

📖 中文释义

verb

core 想起；记得

📖 指从记忆中重新想起某人、某事或某个场景，脑海里重新出现相关印象。

💡 常用结构是 remember somebody/something，或 remember how/what/where 等引导的从句。它强调“想起来”这一心理过程，不一定表示说话人当下还在持续思考。不要把它和 remind 混用：自己想起来用 remember，让别人想起某事通常用 remind。

I suddenly remembered where I had left my keys.

我突然想起把钥匙落在哪里了。

Do you remember our first day at school?

你还记得我们上学的第一天吗？
common 记住；背下来

📖 指通过学习或反复接触，把信息放进记忆里，以后能够保留并使用。

💡 常用结构是 remember a name/fact/formula，表示把具体信息记住；也可以说 remember that 从句。这个义项侧重“形成记忆”，而不是当场从记忆中想起。表示有意识地学习并背下来时，也可根据语境使用 memorize，但二者不能在所有句子中直接替换。

I need to remember these new words for tomorrow's test.

我得记住这些生词，明天考试要用。
core 牢记；放在心上

📖 指把某个事实、建议、约定或他人的话持续放在心里，不要忽略它。

💡 常见结构是 remember that 从句、remember what/how 等从句，或者祈使句 Remember ...。它常用于提醒对方重视某件事，语气可以友好，也可以带有警告意味。不要误以为它只表示回忆过去；这里重点是“别忘了这一点”。

Remember that everyone makes mistakes.

记住，每个人都会犯错。

Remember what I told you about checking the address.

记住我告诉过你的，要核对地址。
core 记得去做

📖 指没有忘记完成某个需要做的行动，通常用于提醒自己或别人按时行动。

💡 基本结构是 remember to do something，常放在提醒、请求或指示中。to do 表示该行动在记住时尚未完成；如果行动已经完成并成为记忆，应使用 remember doing something。中文里的“记得做了某事”容易造成误解，英语中要根据时间关系选择这两个结构。

Please remember to lock the door when you leave.

你离开时请记得锁门。

Remember to bring your passport.

记得带护照。
rare 代为问候

📖 用于较固定、较正式的表达，意思是请某人向另一人转达问候。

💡 常见结构是 remember me to somebody，意思是“代我向某人问好”。这种说法在现代日常英语中不如 say hello to somebody 或 give somebody my regards 常见，不能按普通的 remember somebody 理解。使用时通常需要明确说出问候是转达给谁的。
rare 提醒；使想起

📖 这是已经过时的用法，指把某件事重新放到别人心里，也就是提醒对方。

💡 常见于旧文学或仿古语境，现代英语一般不用这个义项。现代表达应使用 remind somebody of something 或 remind somebody to do something。不要因为 remember 和 remind 意思相关，就在普通对话中互相替换。

obsolete
common 记得；有记忆

📖 不带直接宾语时，表示一个人具有记忆，能够想起某事或记得相关经历。

💡 常见结构是 remember clearly/well，或 remember doing something、remember that 从句。它描述“记得”的状态或能力，后面不一定接名词宾语。若要表达“提醒某人”，仍应使用 remind，而不是把 remember 当作及物动词使用。

intransitive

I don't remember meeting him before.

我不记得以前见过他。
rare 在遗嘱中留给；赠予

📖 在遗嘱或类似正式语境中，指因过去的服务或友谊而把钱财留给某人。

💡 常见结构是 remember somebody in one's will，后面说明遗赠的财物或金额。这个用法正式且范围很窄，通常与遗嘱、遗产等语境相连。日常表示“送给某人礼物”不能使用这种结构。

transitive
common 纪念；缅怀

📖 指通过记住并表达敬意来纪念某些人、事件，尤其是已经逝去或值得铭记的人和事。

💡 常见结构是 remember somebody/something，常与 honour、those who served 等搭配。它常出现在纪念日、公共仪式、新闻和正式讲话中，语气比普通的“想起”更庄重。这里不只是个人回忆，而是公开或有意识地表达对对象的尊重和铭记。

transitive

Every year, the town gathers to remember those who died in the war.

镇上的人每年聚集在一起，缅怀那些在战争中牺牲的人。

🌳 词源

来自中古英语和古法语，最终与表示“留心、记得”的拉丁语词根有关；其中 re- 有“再一次”的意味。

From Middle English remembren, from Old French remembrer (“to remember”), from Late Latin rememorari (“to remember again”), from re- + memor (“mindful”), from Proto-Indo-European *mer-, *(s)mer- (“to think about, be mindful, remember”). Cognate with Old English mimorian, mymerian (“to remember, commemorate”), Old English māmorian (“to deliberate, plan out, design”). More at mimmer and mammer. Compare also dialectical English umbethink. etymology note The success of the Old French word was helped by its proximity in sound and meaning to an existing Germanic word: Old English mimorian, mymerian (“to remember, commemorate”) from Proto-Germanic *mimrōną, *mīmrōną (“to remember, be mindful”), from the same Indo-European source, and is akin to Saterland Frisian miemerje (“to ponder, reflect”), Middle Low German mimeren (“to ponder, meditate”), Middle Dutch mimeren (“to reflect, think to oneself”) (Dutch mijmeren (“to muse, reflect deeply”)), Old English ġemimor (“mindful”), Old Norse Mímir, Mim (“Norse god of memory”), Old English māmrian (“to think out, design”). Related to mourn. Displaced native Middle English ȝemuneȝen (“to remember”), from Old English ġemynegian (“to remember, remind”); Middle English minnen (“to remember, have in mind”), from Old Norse minna (“to remind”); Middle English munden, ȝemunden (“to bear in mind, remember”), from Old English ġemynd (“memory, remembrance”); Middle English ithenchen, ȝethenchen (“to think on, remember”), from Old English ġeþencan; Middle English manien (“to remind, mention, remember”), from Old English manian (“to admonish, remind, mention”).
