Thank you very much.

非常感谢Q(SAnlg2xD9eHCP~。

Hi Joelson, that is an excellent question.

嗨，乔尔森，这是一个很好的问题[v%9[hgRHJSC9m。

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|=Kjh~lOjt@。

The verbs "remind" and "remember" both involve recalling something.

动词“提醒”和“记住”都涉及回忆某事&yHho+2x%jNB~cajkx。

But there is a clear difference in meaning.

但在含义上有明显的不同hs+AKTVe+6|U]。

And they have different sentence structures.

而且它们有不同的句子结构i0Tca7|tUya*Iu。

"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=XpoQ~(pB4i。

Think of "remember" as the opposite of "forget."

把remember（记住）看作是forget（忘记）的反义词1+zucI5oTbk4^Se。

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hI!dl7C]&qhouA&ut。

Remember to bring a lock to store your belongings.

记得带一把锁来存放你的物品ZF###D-5G~XU。

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=ih9EnKva]Nzl4。

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”QwHv_reW%0~r。

"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E2qzkHHY^9a|1Xvm~R_。

Now, let's talk about "remind."

现在，我们来谈谈reminden6GC!qLIRC。

"Remind" means to cause someone else to remember something.

remind（提醒）的意思是让别人想起某事T@B+q.Sb8@。

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9GDunbnAqKG。

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4ocO&%7(D)qwfp6qx(y。

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u][S4e9tZPf@+rw。

In this case, the object is "him."

在这个句子中，宾语是“他”bDOPt=3Ik8)S=oeqg6。

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jj8M,X!~Q0dwlR2[1|_J。

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.z[=X5l+akct。他们有着相同的眼睛和笑声Zs6G9VPm9[+a~。

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7TDoS_fNQj)Ju0WXCB6H。
