1.Focus & listen intently. The first is to mentally make a decision to remember the name before you hear it. This focuses your brain and directs it to store the name in your long-term memory. You can imagine that this person is very powerful and important and that it's in your interest to remember their name! By making an effort to focus, you will also naturally lean in and listen more intently when they say their name。
1.集中精神，仔细聆听。首先，在进行谈话前，你要暗示自己先记得对方的名字。这样会让你的大脑集中精力，直接将这个心理暗示存储到大脑的长期记忆空间。另外你要想象，这个人是很有权威，且非常关键重要，那你就会提起兴趣去记住此人的名字了！努力去集中精神，你就会自然而然地倾听并专心留意对方的名字。
2.Repeat the name. The second is to repeat the name back to the person you have just met. You can take this a step further by asking them to spell their name or asking them the origin of their name. This extends the conversation and provides more mental "triggers" for you to recall the name at a later stage. It also builds rapport because you are showing an interest in their name. Remember to only ask these questions if it makes sense to do so (i.e. the name is unusual). People may question your intelligence if you ask them how to spell common names like "Dave" or "Sarah"!
2.重复对方的名字。第二点就是要重复你新认识的人的名字。想要印象深刻，你还可以让对方拼写名字，或者让对方说说取该名的缘由。这样做不仅能扩展话题，还能在你脑海中建立该名字的记忆触发点。这些问题同样可会帮助构建人际关系，因为你对对方的名字表现出了兴趣。不过要记住，只能问些有意义的问题那(也就是说对方的名字要很特别)。假如，你问对方一些简单名字(如Dave和Sarah)的拼法，他会觉得你的智商很低。
