A scatterbrain is a person whose thoughts will not stay in one place. They forget bags, lose keys, start three jobs and finish none — not thinking in a practical way, so things slip. The picture is that the brain's contents have been scattered, like papers in the wind. It is informal and usually , or only gently impatient, not a cruel insult. The person is a scatterbrain; the describing word is scatterbrained. You can call yourself one as a joke.
迷糊蛋；丟三落四的人（常帶點親暱，不是重罵）
