- 1追憶、緬懷（多半是愉快的往事）
To reminisce is to look back on your own past and there — usually on things that feel warm, funny, or dear — and often to talk about them with someone else. You reminisce about a summer, a school, an old friend. It is softer and narrower than remember. Remember can be any fact, even a sad one or a useful one (“I remember the password”). Reminisce almost always has a glow of “those were the days.” People do it at reunions, over tea, in interviews. It is not slang, but it is not stiff either. Older people use it a lot; younger people may just say they were talking about the old days. You reminisce about something; you do not reminisce a thing as a direct object in careful English.
組成English made this verb from the older noun reminiscence (a back-formation). That noun goes back to Latin reminīscor, “to remember.”
