This week on Ask a Teacher, we answer a question from Joelson.
本周《名师答疑》，我们回答乔尔森的一个问题。
He says: Dear VOA, I am an English learner from Brazil.
他说：亲爱的美国之音，我是一名来自巴西的英语学习者。
I want to know the difference between "remind" and "remember."
我想知道remind和remember的区别。
Thank you very much.
非常感谢。
Hi Joelson, that is an excellent question.
嗨，乔尔森，这是一个很好的问题。
Verb pairs like borrow/lend, come/go, and remind/remember can be tricky for English learners.
对于英语学习者来说，像借来/借出、来/去、提醒/记住这样的动词组可能会很棘手。
The verbs "remind" and "remember" both involve recalling something.
动词“提醒”和“记住”都涉及回忆某事。
But there is a clear difference in meaning.
但在含义上有明显的不同。
And they have different sentence structures.
而且它们有不同的句子结构。
"Remember" means to keep a person or thing in your mind or to bring a person or thing back to your mind.
Remember的意思是把一个人或一件事记在你的脑海里，或者把一个人或一件事带回到你的脑海里。
Think of "remember" as the opposite of "forget."
把remember（记住）看作是forget（忘记）的反义词。
Listen to some examples: I just remembered I left the water on.
来听几个例句：我刚记起来我把水开着。
Remember to bring a lock to store your belongings.
记得带一把锁来存放你的物品。
In the first example, notice that "remember" is followed by a clause.
在第一个例句中，请注意remember后面跟着一个从句。
In the second, it is followed by an infinitive, also known as to + verb.
在第二个例句中，remember后跟一个不定式，也就是“to+动词”。
"Remember" can also be followed by a noun that ends in -ing, as in "I remember leaving the water on."
remember后面还可以接一个以-ing结尾的名词，例如：我记得把水开着。
Now, let's talk about "remind."
现在，我们来谈谈remind。
"Remind" means to cause someone else to remember something.
remind（提醒）的意思是让别人想起某事。
In other words, a person can make sure someone else does not forget something.
换句话说，一个人可以确保其他人不会忘记一些东西。
Listen to an example: Can you remind him to buy more cat food? We ran out.
请听一个例句：你能提醒他多买点猫粮吗？我们的用完了。
When we use "remind" this way, the verb is followed by an object.
当我们这样用remind的时候，动词后面跟一个宾语。
In this case, the object is "him."
在这个句子中，宾语是“他”。
Another way we use "remind" is to say that a similarity causes us to think of someone or something.
remind的另一种用法是说，相似之处使我们想起某人或某事。
Listen to an example: That actor reminds me so much of my brother. They have the same eyes and laugh.
请听一个例句：那个演员真是让我想起我哥哥。他们有着相同的眼睛和笑声。
When we use "remind" this way, we always include the word "of."
当我们以这种方式使用remind时，总要加上of这个词。
And that's Ask a Teacher for this week. I'm Alice Bryant.
