What does déjà vu mean
Déjà vu is a false sense of familiarity(熟悉) that makes someone feel like he/she has experienced a situation before (经历之前的一种情境).
Have you ever done something that felt familiar, even though you knew you hadn't
Let’s read a passage to know more about déjà vu.
Lead in
Have you ever done something that felt familiar, even though you knew you hadn't This feeling is known as déjà vu, a French term meaning "already seen".
It is said that most people have experienced déjà vu at least once in their lives. But why does it happen People have studied this fascinating question for over a century, and there are now a number of interesting theories about déjà vu. Some people believe the familiar scenes of déjà vu must come from past dreams. And some suggest that déjà vu might show we have a hidden power to see the future. Others even think there could be a link between déjà vu and parallel universes. However, most scientists say that déjà vu is just a mix-up in the brain, making us feel something is familiar when it is actually not.
