还记得你出生后12天发生了什么吗？
我就是随便问问
反正你肯定不记得了
但这个问题如果去问Rebecca Sharrock
她一定可以回答你！
The 27-year-old from Brisbane has got something called Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). It’s a condition that stops people from being able to forget anything, and it’s thought that only around 60-80 people in the world have it.
这位27岁来自布里斯班（澳大利亚东部城市）的Rebecca Sharrock有一种名叫超级自传式记忆的“特异功能”。它能阻止人们忘记事情，全球大概只有60-80个人有这样的“特异功能”。
As a result, Rebecca is able to recall every part of her life in vivid detail, whether it be the dreams she had at eighteen months old or being photographed in a car just 12 days after her birth!
Rebecca能够回忆起她生命中的每一件事情，不管是18个月大时做的梦，还是出生后12天在车上拍照片的场景。
漫威都没有这么写！
她在博客写下她12天大时，拍照的事情：
“My parents carried me to the driver’s seat of the car (my father’s idea) and placed me down upon it for a photo. As a newborn child I was curious as to what the seat cover and steering wheel above me were. Though at that age I hadn’t yet developed the ability to want to get up and explore what such curious objects could be.”
我爸妈把我抱到汽车的驾驶座（我爸的主意），把我放下来给我照相。作为一个新生儿，我对下方的坐垫和跟前的方向盘感到好奇。但是那个时候，我没有自己从床上爬起来探索这个怪东西的能力。
如果你觉得这还都不算什么的话
她甚至可以背诵哈利波特的书！

现在她正在写一本关于她自己的书
《Life is a Puzzle》
“
When I was reading a newspaper in mid 2014, I came across an article that said that it was impossible for us to remember personal events which happened to us before we were four years old. After I’d finished reading the article I was thinking ‘what absolute nonsense’. I’m currently in the process of writing a book My Life is a Puzzle, and memories of events up to the age of four fill a very long chapter.
2014年中旬，当我在看报纸的时候，我看到文章说人们不可能记得4岁之前发生过的事情。我心想：“胡说八道！”。我现在正在写我的书，关于我四岁以前的记忆可以写很长很长一章。

At the very beginning of my life, I would spend a lot of time in my crib looking at surrounding toys and the stand up fan next to me. On my first birthday I had no idea what the day was about, all I knew was that mum was putting me in an itchy satin dress, and I was crying. That day my parents also gave me a Minnie Mouse plush toy, whose face terrified me, though I could not word this. All I could do was cry and push it away whenever I saw it.
在我生命最开始的时候，大多数时间我都呆在婴儿床里，环视我周围的环境和来看我的“粉丝”们。我的一岁生日过的毫不知情，我只知道我妈给我套上了令我浑身发痒的缎子衣服，我哇哇大哭。生日那天，我爸妈送了我一只米妮毛绒玩具，它的脸真的吓到我了。我只能哭，并且每次看到它都躲得远远的。

It is true that I’m one of about 60 people in the world identified as having a very unusual memory which is called HSAM (or Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory). This makes me unable to forget any day of my life. However those of us with HSAM are not alone with having memories from the time when we were under four years old. In fact the vast majority of the people I’ve come across also have distinct memories of them welcoming a sibling to their family as a toddler.
我的确是那60个有HSAM的之一。这让我无法忘记过去任何一天发生的任何事情。但我知道不是只有HSAM人群才能记得四岁以前的事情，实际上，我接触的一大部分人还记得他们很小的时候弟弟妹妹出生时的场景。

There is so much we need to discover about the human brain as well as how our memories work. Firstly our brain is the control centre of our entire existence, and secondly memories make up everything that we’ve learned (consciously and subconsciously). There are many different kinds of memory that we all possess and those of us with HSAM can only recall autobiographical memories in precise detail. Autobiographical memories are recollections of what we’ve (personally) experienced in our lifetime.
对于人类大脑和记忆是如何运作的，还有很多可以去探索。我们的大脑是个体控制中心，记忆构成我们的认知（不管是有意识还是潜意识）。每个人都拥有很多回忆，像我们HSAM人群只能记起自传式回忆的精确细节。自传式回忆即回忆本人所经历的事情。
”
将自己的一生都记得这么清楚
不管是快乐还是痛苦
到底是幸还是不幸呢？
你想拥有这项“超能力”吗？
