外刊例句

Some from each group were told to name the odours they encountered; others were not. Then they were given a distraction to clear their minds, followed by a chance to recollect what they had smelled. As expected, the experts performed better than the amateurs—but those who articulated their thoughts did no better than those who had not.
每组中一些人被要求说出他们闻到的气味 , 其他人没有 。然后让他们分散注意力 , 理清思绪 , 通过偶然的机会再回忆自己闻到的气味 。正如预期的那样 , 专家比业余者表现得更好 , 但是那些明确表达过自己想法的人 , 并不比那些没有明确表达过自己想法的人表现得更好 。

——《经济学人》


基本释义

recollect:If you recollect something, you remember it.
v. 回忆 , 想起

追根溯源

【回忆的英文单词怎么写re开头 回忆的英文单词 回忆的英文动词】单词recollect里的词根lect来自拉丁语legere , 表示“选择” , 所以 , 在英语里包含lect的单词 , 多与此相关 。例如:
select /s??lekt/ v. 选择
elect /??lekt/ v. 选举
neglect /n??ɡlekt/ v. 忽略;忽视
collect /k??lekt/ v. 收集

前缀re表示再次 , col表示共同、一起 , 所以 , re+col+lect=再一次将一些事情选择出来→回忆 , 想起
