（A）I shall remember that moment till I die. (B) I did not remember his name till she reminded me of it. 上面的两个 remember 意义是否相同？
当 till(until) 表示主句的动作终止点时, 主句的谓语动词必须是具有持续意义的动词。因此, 可断定句(A) 中的 remember 为持续动词, 意为“牢记”“铭记”。当 till(until) 表示主句的动作的起始点时, 则主句的谓语动词必须是具有瞬时意义的动词。据此, 可断定句(B) 中的 remember 为瞬时动词, 意为“想起”“忆起”。 (A)我将至死铭记那个时刻。 (B)直到她提醒我,我才想起了他的名字。 (参见 until )
remember doing/remember to do
“Do you know Edward Wilson?” “The name sounds familiar but I don’t remember him.”
A. that I meet B. meeting C. to meet D. of meeting (TOEFL)
书上给的答案是 B(meeting)，但我认为 C(to meet) 也是正确的。因为动名词和动词不定式都可以作动词 remember 的宾语。
诚然，动名词和动词不定式都可以充当remember的宾语，但两者所表达的意思却是迥然不同的。在remember+动名词结构中，动名词所表示的动作发生在remember这个心理过程之前，即记得过去曾经做过某事（做事在先，记住在后）。而在remember+带to的动词不定式结构中，动词不定式所表达的动作发生在remember这个心理过程之后，即记着（不忘记）去做某事（记住在先，做事在后）。通过下列实例的对比，你会很快掌握上面两个结构的区别：
I remembered to fill out the form. [“I remembered that I was to fill out the
form and then did so.”] (CGEL) 我记住了去填这个表。
I remembered filling out the form. [“I remembered that I had filled out the form.”] 我记得我曾经填写过这个表。
I remember to post your letter. 我记着给你去邮信。
I remember posting your letter. 我现在还记得给你邮信的事。
2 [Remember to lock the door. 别忘了锁门。
下面再补充一些例句,以供使用:
Remember to meet me tonight. 别忘了今天晚上来见我。
I'll remember to walk carefully in London. 我将记着在伦敦走路要小心。
I didn't remember to post your letter. 我忘了给你邮信了。
I remember mailing the letter. 我还记得我把信寄走了。
I remember seeing him somewhere. 我记得我在什么地方见到过他。
I don't remember hearing about his letter... (B. Clinton, My Life) 我不记得听说过有他的来信……(《我的生活》)
