一直以来，我对具有司法含义的记忆感兴趣，因此我开始了目击者记忆的研究。

I had always been interested in the legal implications of memory, so I to investigate eyewitness memory.

事实上，多个目击者在法律场合就会有一个问题，因为辩护律师会指出记忆会有不同在重要的细节里。

There can actually be a problem with multiple witnesses in a legal setting as the defending lawyer can often show that memories differ in critical detail.

有时候尽管我们的记忆很清晰，但是它所包含的事情却有可能未曾发生过，或者并未如我们记忆中的那样发生。 这也是为什么有时候目击者的证词与事实相去甚远。

We also all have memories – sometimes very clear ones – of events that didn't happen, or didn't happen the way we remember them, which is why eyewitness accounts of crimes are notoriously faulty.
