Part of the reason is prospective memory sucks.

部分原因是前瞻性记忆力很差。

So pilots don't rely on their prospective memories to remember to put down the wheels before landing the plane.

所以飞行员不依赖于他们的前瞻性记忆来记住在飞机着陆前放下轮子。

That distraction can even interfere with what's known as prospective memory, which is your ability to remember to do something in the future, like mail something at the post office or call a friend.

这种分心甚至会干扰所谓的前瞻记忆，即你记住未来做某事的能力，比如在邮局寄东西或给朋友打电话。
