But it’s not just from direct experience. In another experiment, participants were asked to read a story about cheating or not cheating on an exam, from either a first-person or third-person perspective. Again, the participants who read the story about cheating from the first-person perspective had worse recall, and the third-person readers had no difference.

但是，这不是直接的经验。在另外一个试验中，参与者要求以第一人称或者第三人称的视角读一篇关于考试作弊和未作弊的故事。再次，以第一人称视角阅读考试作弊的参与者的人的记忆很差，而以第三人称阅读的参与者的记忆则没有太大的差别。

As an assistant professor at Northwestern’s Kellogg Business School, explains, the amnesia has a protective quality. We hold ourselves to be moral agents in the world, so evidence of wrongdoing creates all sorts of dissonance between our ideas about ourselves and our actual behavior. The unethical amnesia acts like an “adaptive defensive behavior,” helping our egos sidestep unpleasant truths.

西北大学凯洛格商学院的副教授解释道，健忘症有一种保护的特质。在这个世界上，我们一直持道德标准自居，因此那些糟糕行为的证据会在我们的思想和实际行为之间产生不和谐。不道德的健忘症就像是自我适应的防卫行为一样，帮助自我避讳不愉快的真相。
