recollect

1.recollect作“回想到”或“记得起”解，不是单纯的“记得”，是有意志的动作，如说“我记得他的名字”不可说I recollect his name，该把recollect改作remember。I do not remember his name是“我不记得他的名字”。 I cannot recollect his name是“我想不起他的名字”。

2.recollect后面通常接动名词。例如：I can well recollect hearing （或having heard）the song when I was a little boy.把hearing（或having heard）改作to have heard意思不变，但不很普通。

3.recollect不及recall通俗。
