走到房间却忘了要拿什么，走到超市却忘了要买什么，走到客厅却忘了要干什么！你有没有过这种头疼的时刻？这些都是destinesia（目的健忘）的种种表现。

When you get to where you were intending to go, you forget why you were going there in the first place, which is destinesia. Not to be confused with being stoned, destinesia often occurs during working hours, and is the cause of much frustration.

“目的健忘”就是，当你到达了一个你要去的地方，却忘了当时为什么要去。这和醉酒并不一样，并且经常在工作时间发生，而且会引起很多烦恼和挫折感。

An Internet survey shows that the decline of memory has disturbed many office workers, with 15.96% of them perceiving impaired memory. It is obvious that you are not the only one that has the problem of destinesia.

网络调查显示，记忆力下降困扰越来越多的上班族，有15.96%的上班族感觉记忆力衰退。可见，目的健忘不是你一个人的问题！

Example:

John ran down the stairs to the storage, but when he got there he couldn't remember what he needed. Consequently, he had to run back upstairs to the kitchen, and look at his prep list again. Damn you, destinesia!

约翰跑下楼去仓库，到了以后却忘了他要拿什么。结果他只能又跑回厨房再看一遍他的准备清单。去你的目的健忘！
