来自VOA的[ Ask a Teacher ] Remind or Remember? (2021/8/7) 节选
remind和remember，相信很多人都遇到过这个verb pairs（一对动词），某些人弄不清楚区别，但对大部分人来说，运用中文语感就能分辨出这两个动词的不同用法。
这里就用VOA的节选，从英文角度来说一下：
1、Verb pairs like borrow/lend, come/go, and remind/remember can be tricky for English learners.
翻译：对英语学习者来说，borrow和lend，come和go，remind和remember这些动词对可能比较棘手。
Tricky adj.棘手的;狡猾的;巧妙的，很多时候都用来形容事情比较难办，棘手。
例：It is gonna to be tricky. 这事情变得很棘手了。
2、"Remember" means to keep a person or thing in your mind or to bring a person or thing back to your mind. Think of "remember" as the opposite of "forget."
翻译：remember意思就是把一个人或者一件事情留在你的脑海里，或者把一个人或者一件事情带回你的脑海里。你可以把remember看作是forget的反义词。
3、（1）I just remembered I left the water on.（2）Remember to bring a lock to store your belongings.
In the first example, notice that "remember" is followed by a clause.
In the second, it is followed by an infinitive, also known as to verb.
"Remember" can also be followed by a noun that ends in -ing, as in "I remember leaving the water on."
翻译：（1）我刚想起来我没关水龙头。（2）记得把锁带来存放你的物品。在第一个例子里，注意remember后面跟着的是一个分句。第二个例子里，它的后面是一个不定式，也被称为to 动词。Remember后面也可以跟一个以-ing结尾的名词。
4、"Remind" means to cause someone else to remember something. In other words, a person can make sure someone else does not forget something.
翻译：remind意思是使别人记起某些东西，换句话说，一个人可以确保别人不忘记某事。
5、Can you remind him to buy more cat food? We ran out.
When we use "remind" this way, the verb is followed by an object. In this case, the object is "him."
翻译：你能提醒他多买一些猫粮吗？我们用完了。当我们这样使用remind时，动词后面是一个宾语，这里是him。
6、Another way we use "remind" is to say that a similarity causes us to think of someone or something. Listen to an example:
That actor reminds me so much of my brother. They have the same eyes and laugh.
翻译：另一种用法是，一种相似性让我们想起某人或者某事。比如：那个演员让我想起来我的哥哥，他们有着同样的眼睛和笑声。
这里，remind总是跟of连用的，一个都不能少。
总结：
1、remember是主动地回忆或者想起来某人某事，即使是别人提醒，也是本人自己想起来的。如果不确定的时候，可以用forget替换一下，用语感来判断。
例（1）：Please remember to give her the book. 例（2）：Please remember to remind him to give her the book.
2、remind一般是使动式，即对方是被动想起来的。另一个用法也是固定搭配，比如remind someone of someone/something
例（1）：The sign of the clock reminded me that I was late.
例（2）：Thanks for your gifts, it will always remind me of you.
谢谢你们的礼物，它将让我经常想起你们。
