One of the toughest things to do when getting to know people professionally is remembering their names. And it's also an extremely useful skill to have when you're networking. Showing a stranger that you remembered her name can portray you as someone who pays attention and even someone who cares. Here are some tricks to remembering any name:
在職場上，記住那些商業人士的名字要算最困難的事情之一了，在建立人際關系網時這也是一項非常有用的技能。向一個陌生人展示你記住了她的名字，會幫你塑造關注甚至在意對方的形象。以下是可以幫你記住任何名字的小竅門：
1. Ask for their business card.
問他們要名片。
When you meet someone in a networking situation, ask for their business card. Jot down a few notes about the person and his appearance so you can differentiate him from the other people you've met. You can always refer back to the card if you forget someone's name.
如果你是在建立社交關系的場合認識了某人，就問他們要一下名片。迅速記錄一點關于這個人的信息還有外貌特征，免得把他和你見過的其他人混淆了。如果你忘記了某人的名字，你可以隨時查閱一下他的名片。
2. Repeat it in your mind.
在腦海里重復幾遍。
After you've met someone, repeat her name in your mind a few times until you feel like you got a hang of the name.
你認識了某人以后，在腦海中重復幾遍她的名字，直到你覺得你已經掌握了這個名字。
3. Write it down.
寫下來。
Some people write down people's names in a private place like a bathroom on a scrap of paper or a notebook.
有些人會在一些隱蔽的地方，比如說洗手間，把別人的名字寫在紙片或者筆記本上。
4. Ask again.
再問一次。
At the end of your conversation, ask the person you're speaking with to repeat his name just to make sure you have it right. Hearing it again will help you memorize it as well.
在談話結束之際，為了確保你記得沒錯，請與你談話的人再重復一遍他的名字。再聽一遍也能幫助你記住這個名字。
5. Visualize an image.
視覺化。
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.
給這個名字配上插圖。例如，如果你遇到一個叫Catherine的人，你不妨嘗試把一幅貓的照片和這個女士聯系起來。這樣的話，你再見到這個女士時，貓的圖片就會浮上腦海，這樣你就比較容易想出她的名字了。
6. Identity associations.
聯系身份特征。
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."
如果你發現了和你交談的人某一方面有趣或顯著的特質，你就在腦中重復一下這些關聯。比如說，“馬特在eBay網上轉售特殊的鞋子”，或者“凱利參加了三項全能運動”。
7. Inject it into conversation.
在談話中多加使用。
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.
在對話，盡可能多說對方的名字，但不要讓氣氛尷尬了。在句子中漫不經心地插入名字，例如“我十分同意你，約翰” 或者 “約翰，你喜歡住在城市里嗎?”。這樣對于記住別人的名字效果非凡。
8. Rhyme it.
讓名字押韻。
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.
我們對于有韻律的東西記得更好，所以嘗試在腦中想出一個和名字押韻的特點。比如說，“蓋里愛乳品。” 玩玩文字游戲，想出一句能烙在腦海中的句子吧。
