地道美语听力练习:健忘 Being Forgetful

Charlize: You won't forget that we're going over to the Wong's for dinner tomorrow night, will you?

Pete: It's etched in my brain. I won't forget.

Charlize: It slipped your mind last week that we were meeting Donna at the movies, remember?

Pete: I was preoccupied last week, but I won't forget about tomorrow night.

Charlize: I'm reminding you because the week before that, you forgot to cash that check at the bank. Remember that?

Pete: I didn't forget. I was just a little wrapped up in work that week. I'm not usually absentminded, you know.

Charlize: Right. Do you want me to send you an email tomorrow morning to jog your memory?

Pete: That won't be necessary. I have the day, time, and even their address committed to memory. Do you want to test me?

Charlize: No, I don't, but I just want to make sure we don't have a repeat of what happened last month. You were supposed to meet me at the Donnelly's at 8:00 and you never showed up. Remember that?

Pete: No, I don't. I have amnesia. I won't remember any other incident you want to throw in my face. I thought last week you said you would stop giving me a hard time about my bad memory. Remember that?

Charlize: Uh, no, I don't.

Pete: I guess I'm not the only one who's scatterbrained!
