讨论：生活中的哪种气味能让你忆起童年时光？-网帖翻译-龙腾网

1、The basement smell. It simply doesnt smell like that anymore

地下室的味道。现在闻起来，再也不复当年之味了。

I honestly think I relate to this one the most. My grandparents basement had a mildewy sort of smell to it. And it was my favorite smell growing up oddly enough. They just sold their house in September and it's sad that I'll never get to smell that SPECIFIC smell ever again.

（楼主）老实说，你的答案最让我感同身受。我爷爷奶奶的地下室总有那么一股子霉味。而奇怪的是，那是我成长过程中最喜欢闻的味道。他们在9月的时候把房子卖出去了，真是让人难过啊，我是再也闻不到那种味道了。

I was going to say this. The smell of dank concrete reminds me of playing videogames on the old N64 down there back in the day.

（回复2）我也想说这个来着。那种潮湿的水泥味，让我回想起了当年在下面用老式任天堂64游戏机玩电子游戏的时光。

2、Play dough, crayons.

橡皮泥，蜡笔

3、Swimming pool chlorine

游泳池里氯的味道

Yep, they bring back the best memories.

（回复1）是啊，最美好的记忆由此闪回。

4、That petrichor, earthy smell of running through wet piles of leaves on a rainy day.

雨天里，奔跑着踏过一堆堆濡湿的落叶，溅起的那种潮土油和泥土的气息。

5、Burning firewood

烧柴火的味道

I live in California so it's burning forests

（回复1）我住在加州，所以对我而言会是火烧林子的味道

6、Generic bubble gum smell.

没牌子的那种泡泡糖的味道。

7、Cigarettes. I associate the smell with fun family parties and time with relatives who have since moved away or died. I like the smell as a result, although I'd never smoke myself.

香烟味。这种味道会让我想起那些超好玩的家庭聚会以及和亲人们相处的时光，那以后他们死的死了，走的走了。也是因为这样，我会喜欢上这种味道，虽然我自己从来不吸烟。

When I was just a tiny kid, my mom was an alcoholic and a smoker. She'd get home from the bar and it would wake me up so I got up to see her. Instead of shouting about why am I up and go back to bed, she went hard in the other direction. She would say "baaaabyyyyy!" And pull me up into her lap and just hold me. Her hair smelled like smoke, her breath smelled like beer, and her hands were cold because her circulation sucked.

（回复1）我还是个小屁孩儿的时候，我妈既是酒鬼也是烟鬼。她从酒吧回家，会把我吵醒，于是我就起床去看看她。她没有大呼小叫说为什么我起来了赶紧回去睡觉之类的，而是很努力地用了另一种方式。她会说 "宝贝儿！"。然后把我拉到她的腿上，就这么抱着我。她的头发闻着有烟味，她的呼吸闻着有啤酒味，而她的手很冷，因为她的血液循环很糟糕。

I still have a very positive association with all that despite not being much of a beer drinker myself. Ive had people think they were gonna surprise me by putting cold fingers on my neck but nah, I love it.

如此种种，想来仍然悦心，尽管我也算不上是个喝啤酒的家伙。曾有人以为，用冰冷的手指触碰我的脖子就能吓到我，但是不会哦，我还挺喜欢这样的。

25、Moth balls. My mother always kept our wool sweaters, mittens and hats in a chest loaded with them. It's kind of gross, but it dissipates quickly. Yes, I am of an older generation than most of you young whippersnappers!

樟脑丸。我妈总会把羊毛衫、露指手套和帽子收纳在一个装满了樟脑丸的衣柜里。那味道有点恶心，但很快就会消散。没错，我是老一辈的人，比你们这些小把戏中的大部分人都要年长！

当你在电子游戏区或是DVD/蓝光区买下一张新碟，当你打开它的盒子时就会散发出那种特有的味道。这种味道实在太让人怀旧了。还有就是，使用那些七八十年代的吸尘器时烧焦地毯的味道，那是我奶奶家用的东西，会让整个屋子弥散着有什么东西烧着了的味道。

在雪就要融化消失但还留有一些小碎块的时候，空气中会弥散着这种温暖的泥土气。那味道出现的时候，便是我最喜欢待在室外的时候。可惜紧接着就是过敏季节，但我觉得这很值得。

44、The smell of an auto repair shop always brings me back. My dad was a mechanic and his work clothes and truck always smelled like this mixture of oil and dirt, not unpleasant, but very distinct. Any time I have to get my oil changed or have my car worked on I love breathing in the smell of the shop.

I began reading them sometime in the elementary years and that smell combined with the feeling of those books will be engrained in me for my whole life. And I’m not even a Harry Potter stan

我猜是蜡烛吧。我们把自己拥有的全部《哈利波特》书册，连同一堆蜡烛放在了这个带有玻璃门的书架上。我在小学时代就开始读它们了，那味道加上那些书带给人的感觉将会深深铭刻在我的一生中。而我甚至都不是哈利波特的铁粉。
