你有没有那种时候，突然想不起来、记不起来？是人老健忘的缘故吗？本期做客的专家为你揭晓暂时失忆的秘密，更有演艺界和政界那些名人也突然想不起的瞬间……
And now, for all of us, is there any way to keep it from happening? You are under pressure, people watching, and your brain freezes, you can't remember a name or a phrase you know by heart.
现在,我们所有的人,有什么办法可以不让它发生？你承受巨大压力,人们在看,这样你的大脑就会被冻结,你不能回忆起烂熟于心的一个名字或一个短语。
When it happened to Rick Perry last night at the debate, we started asking questions: what do the experts say about when and why our brains betray us like that? Here is ABC's John Berman.
当它发生昨晚辩论中的里克·佩里身上时，我们不禁要问：当我们的大脑背叛我们时，专家会怎么说,为什么这样?这里是ABC的约翰·伯曼为您发回的报道。
There is nothing worse than completely forgetting your point in a televised debate.
没有什么比在一场电视辩论中完全忘记自己的观点还要糟糕的了。
"Sorry, oops."
糟糕，对不起。
Well, except for seemingly loosing the ability to talk at all in a televised debate. That happened to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer. How about forgetting the words to the national anthem in a televised NBA game? And forgetting words may be not as bad as forgetting your wife. Did that happen to Christian Bale at the Academy Awards?
当然,除了在电视辩论中似乎失去了说话的能力外。亚利桑那州州长简·鲍威尔也发生了这种情况。他在NBA电视比赛中忘记了国歌。然而忘记词可能没有忘记你的妻子那么差劲。这种情况在克里斯汀·贝尔的奥斯卡颁奖典礼上到底是如何发生的？
"And of course, mostly, my wonderful wife, ah...." Yes, Rick Perry has joined an illustrious club of those who suffer from brain freeze.
当然,最重要的是,我可爱的妻子,哎....是的,里克·佩里也加入了这种病症的行列。
We use our frontal lobes to sort our memories, the problem is that part of the brain is sensitive to anxiety.
我们的大脑前庭负责对我们的记忆分门别类,问题是大脑中的一部分对焦虑很敏感。
"If you start to freeze up, then you get more stressed. And the stress hormones got even higher and that shuts down the frontal lobe and disconnects it from the rest of the brain and makes it even harder to retrieve those memories. Which explains how chief justice John Robers could flub the oath of office:
如果你开始冻结,你就更感受到压力。压力荷尔蒙变的更高,因此其余的大脑中前庭被关闭及切断连接，所以它就更难以找回那些回忆。这就说明了美国最高法院首席大法官约翰·罗布森在宣誓就职时候犯的错。
"...that I will execute the office of the president to the United States faithfully.
…我将对总统办公室和美国贯彻忠诚。
While George W. Bush could flub this:"Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me, you can't get fooled again."
而乔治·w·布什犯的错则是:这是对我的欺骗,这是…的可耻，你真是可耻。骗我,你就不会再受骗了。
But of all the famous embarrassing cases of brain freeze, the absolutely most perfect example of all time is...eh...I can't remember. Oops.
但所有的著名的脑冻结尴尬的情况通常最完美的例子是…嗯…我不记得了。太糟糕了。
