망각의 동물
여러부은 책을 읽은 후에 자신이 읽은 책의 제목이나 내용을 메모하 두는 습관이 있습니까?인간이 기억할 수 있는 시간은 불과 몇 시간입니다. 그렇기 때문에 인간을 ''망각의 동물''이라고 부르기도 합니다.
Pls let me know the meaning of 불 (인간이 기억할 수 있는 시간은 불과 몇 시간입니다) and 망각의 동물.
Thank you so much!

The sentence says that forgetting things is only natural for any kind of life form including human beings.
불과(不過) : only, just
망각(忘却): oblivion, forgetting, neglecting
인간이 기억할 수 있는 시간은 불과 몇 시간입니다:
The (short term) human recollection capability lasts only a few hours.
망각의 동물: creature that forgets. (and it's natural)
