"The Woman Who Can't Forget" is the memoir of Jill Price, whose memory is so comprehensive that it fails to distinguish between "the most dramatic or consequential events" in her life and "the completely banal day-to-day things." She remembers the soup that she ate for lunch on October 19, 1979 as vividly as she remembers the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger. While many of us might envy her apparently exceptional memory, Price describes her own condition as a burden. Her story underscores the importance of forgetting for normal memory functioning.

《忘不了的女人》是吉尔·普莱斯的回忆录，她的记忆是如此全面，以至于无法区分她生活中“最戏剧性或最重要的事件”和“完全平庸的日常事物”。她记得1979年10月19日午餐时喝的汤，就像她记得挑战者号航天飞机爆炸一样生动。虽然我们中的许多人可能会羡慕她明显非凡的记忆力，但普莱斯将自己的状况描述为一种负担。她的故事强调了遗忘对正常记忆功能的重要性。
