看美剧学英语高频短语：Ring a bell
Ring a bell: To seem familiar, remind one of something, or stimulate an incomplete or indistinct memory. If something rings a bell, it is slightly familiar to you and you know you have heard it before, but you do not remember it fully. Fig. to cause someone to remember something or for it to seem familiar.中文释义：ring a bell意思是似曾相识，使人回想起。生活中，如果对事情或者对一个人一时想起，但并不十分确定，就可以用这个短语来表达。例句：Do you know Thomas Clyde? That name rings a bell.（你知道托马斯克莱德吗？这名字很熟悉。）看到ring a bell是不是想起了ring the bell，形式上一字之差，含义上毫无关联，可别混淆啦。ring the bell意思是铃响了，按响门铃。
