大家好，歡迎收聽 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目，我是佳瑩。

And I'm Rob. Do you know someone who is disorganised or forgetful? We have a word to describe them – it's 'scatterbrain'. 

Jiaying
Scatterbrain. 這個(gè)詞指 “腦子里總是迷迷糊糊、愛忘事的或心思不集中的人”：The information in this person's brain is scattered and disorganised. 

Rob
'Scatterbrain' is sometimes used jokingly with people you know. So, if you have a friend who always loses things or forgets things, you can call them a 'scatterbrain'. That's the noun. The adjective is 'scatterbrained'. 

Jiaying
“Scatterbrain” 的形容詞是 “scatterbrained（健忘的，糊涂的）”。舉一個(gè)例子，我的室友就總是忘事。My roommate is scatterbrained. 她昨天就因?yàn)橥鼛ц€匙，把自己鎖在了門外。 

Rob
Oh, I do that all the time. Luckily, my neighbour has a spare key. 

Jiaying
原來(lái)你也愛忘事。You are a scatterbrain too! Let's hear about some more scatterbrains in these examples. 

Examples
She forgot my birthday again. She's such a scatterbrain! 

Oh, I'm such a scatterbrain – I know I put the tickets somewhere safe and now I can't remember where they are!

He's so scatterbrained – he can't remember where he left his wallet.

你正在收聽的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。上面我們介紹了名詞 “scatterbrain” 的意思和用法，它指 “迷糊、健忘的或思想不集中的人”，是一個(gè)非正式用語(yǔ)，所以要注意使用的對(duì)象和場(chǎng)合。 

Rob
Similar words include 'birdbrain', 'empty-headed' or 'ditzy'. But I like 'scatterbrain' because of its almost literal meaning. And let's be honest, a scatterbrain only forgets small things that can be annoying – they get sorted in the end. 

Jiaying
Like forgetting your front door key! I hope you didn't forget it today – I'm coming round for tea later. 

Rob
Err… Oops! I think I have. 

Jiaying
Scatterbrain! See you next time. 

Rob
Bye!
