毛病

Máobìng

Problem

A：我最近开冰箱时, 常常忘记自己是来拿东西, 还是刚把东西放进去。

Wǒ zuìjìn kāi bīngxiāng shí, chángcháng wàngjì zìjǐ shì lái ná dōngxī , háishì gāng bǎ dōngxī fàng jìnqù。

Recently I often forget whether I want to take something out or put something in as I open the refrigerator.

B：那没什么。我的毛病是进到电梯时, 忘记自己是要上楼还是要下楼。

Nà méi shénme。Wǒ de máobìng shì jìndào diàn tī shí, wàng jì zìjǐ shì yào shànglóu háishì yào xiàlóu。

That's OK. But my problem is that I often forget whether I want to go upstairs or downstairs as I enter the lift.
