My memory is full of those pictures that were lost."

VOA: special.2009.05.17

This is what I'll be proposing over the course of this lecture: that memory is a problem that Paradise Lost is continually confronting.

这就是我在这堂课上准备谈论的：,即记忆是《失乐园》这部作品始终要对抗的东西。

The problem of memory is just as important to the psychological dynamics of the fall of Adam and Eve, but as we will see when we look at Book Four, surely it's the problem of the poet's memory that's the most troubling in Paradise Lost.

记忆的问题的重要性与,亚当与夏娃堕落后心里的变化相当，但是我们将在第四册书看到，确实是诗人自己记忆的问题,困扰着《失乐园》这部作品。

As you may well have gleaned from your reading, the first books of the poem are particularly absorbed with the idea of forgetting, because more than any other part of Paradise Lost they display so ostentatiously the remarkable scope of Milton's own memory.

可能你们从阅读中也已经得知，这部诗的第一册,尤其表现了“遗忘“这一理念，因为相对于《失乐园》的其他部分,它们如此夸耀地展示了,弥尔顿自身记忆范围的宽广。
