第 二 題
思路引導 VIP
看到本題，首先確認通篇在描述科學事實，因此應統一使用「現在簡單式」。其次，需精準掌握「記憶層次」的專業對應術語（immediate, short-term, long-term memory）。最後，中文常有將多個獨立子句連在一起的「流水句」現象（如舉例打電話的部分），翻譯時應適時加入轉折語（如 for example）、關係代名詞（which）或分號，以重建符合英文學術寫作的邏輯句構。
【譯文】 Memory can be divided into three levels: immediate, short-term, and long-term. Immediate memory lasts no more than two or three seconds, which is the time required for the senses to register an impression. Short-term memory can last from a few seconds to a few minutes. For instance, a person may look up a number and make a phone call; after finishing the call, he or she usually has already forgotten the number. Long-term memory can last a lifetime, but some experts believe that information stored in long-term memory may be lost if it is not utilized. 【重點詞彙/句型】
