同意my153老师的看法。我这里整理了一些例句,仅供参考吧!

biography的英文释义为story of a person's life written by sb else,指由其他人撰写的传记。如:

There are plenty of biographies for him to browse over. 有大量传记供他浏览。

The book gives potted biographies of all the major painters. 这本书简述所有重要画家的生平。

This biography does great honour to the poet’s achievements. 这部传记为诗人的成就增光添彩。

The letters were used as source material in this new biography. 这些信件作为这本新传记的原始资料使用。

This new biography contains a wealth of previously unpublished material. 这本新出版的传记包含大量以前未公开的资料。

autobiography 的英文释义为 story of a person's life written by that person,意思是“自传”(即自己为自己写的传记)。如:

She has just written her autobiography. 她刚写完自传。

He published his autobiography last autumn. 他去年秋天出版了自己的自传。

Her autobiography remained in manuscript (= was not published). 她的自传一直没有出版。

This book clearly falls into the category of fictionalised autobiography. 这本书很显然属于自传体小说。

memoirs的英文释义为a person's written account of his life and experiences,意思是个人生活与经历的回忆录,也可译为“自传”。如:

The paper published some short excerpts from Mandela’s memoirs. 该论文发表了曼德拉回忆录的一些节选。

Numerous attempts to persuade him to write his memoirs came to nought. 无数次劝他写回忆录的尝试均以失败告终。
