你有沒(méi)有經(jīng)歷過(guò)這樣的場(chǎng)景？從通訊錄里找到一個(gè)朋友的電話，按下?lián)芡ㄦI，然后就在對(duì)方接電話的那一瞬間，你竟然叫不上這個(gè)朋友的名字！告訴你，這個(gè)叫phonesia（電話失憶癥），不少人都經(jīng)歷過(guò)呢。

Phonesia may refer to a) The affliction of dialing a phone number and forgetting whom you were calling just as they answer. b) Getting to the end of a list of options on a recorded helpline number, only to forget which option one wanted; forcing them to listen to them again, and in some cases having to redial the number.

Phonesia（電話失憶癥）可能指a）撥通某個(gè)電話號(hào)碼，等對(duì)方接電話時(shí)突然忘記你是在給誰(shuí)打電話；b）按著機(jī)器應(yīng)答幫助熱線的提示一直往下聽(tīng)，結(jié)果忘記自己要做的操作是哪一個(gè)，然后不得不再把整個(gè)提示聽(tīng)一遍，有時(shí)甚至還得重新?lián)芤槐闊峋€號(hào)碼。

For example:

I called my college teacher last night, then I experienced a terrible phonesia that I couldn’t remember her name. It was awful!

我昨晚給大學(xué)老師打電話。結(jié)果遭遇電話失憶癥，竟然想不起這個(gè)老師的名字了。簡(jiǎn)直太糟糕了。
