实用社交技巧：8招教你记住别人的名字

Attach an image to the name. For example, if you meet a Catherine, then try to connect the image of a cat with the woman. That way, when you meet the woman again, the image of a cat will pop up, and it will be easy to work out what her name is.
给这个名字配上插图。例如，如果你遇到一个叫Catherine的人，你不妨尝试把一幅猫的照片和这个女士联系起来。这样的话，你再见到这个女士时，猫的图片就会浮上脑海，这样你就比较容易想出她的名字了。

6. Identity associations.
联系身份特征。

If you picked up an interesting or distinguishing fact about the person you're talking to, then repeat the associations in your head. For example, "Matt resells rare shoes on eBay," or "Kelly participates in triathlons."
如果你发现了和你交谈的人某一方面有趣或显著的特质，你就在脑中重复一下这些关联。比如说，“马特在eBay网上转售特殊的鞋子”，或者“凯利参加了三项全能运动”。

7. Inject it into conversation.
在谈话中多加使用。

Say the other person's name as often as you can during the conversation without it getting awkward. For example, inserting the name casually in sentences like "I really agree with you, John" or "John, how are you liking living in the city?" will do wonders for memorizing names.
在对话，尽可能多说对方的名字，但不要让气氛尴尬了。在句子中漫不经心地插入名字，例如“我十分同意你，约翰” 或者 “约翰，你喜欢住在城市里吗？”。这样对于记住别人的名字效果非凡。

8. Rhyme it.
让名字押韵。

We're more apt to remember rhymes, so try to rhyme a name with a characteristic in your head. For example, "Gary who loves dairy." Play around with the words, and come up with a phrase that will stick.
我们对于有韵律的东西记得更好，所以尝试在脑中想出一个和名字押韵的特点。比如说，“盖里爱乳品。” 玩玩文字游戏，想出一句能烙在脑海中的句子吧。
