美联英语提供：西格蒙德·弗洛伊德

Sigmund Freud was born in 1856 in Moravia, which is now the Czech Republic. His family moved to Vienna when Sigmund was four years old. He was the oldest of his mother’s eight children and her favorite. Sigmund loved to read and he was always at the top of his class. He had no interest in sports or outdoor activities, except walking. The family apartment had only four bedrooms, but Sigmund’s mother gave him his own room so he could study in peace. He rarely joined the family for meals. Instead he ate alone in his room, surrounded by his favorite books.

西格蒙德·弗洛伊德于1856年出生于现在的捷克共和国的摩拉维亚。西格蒙德四岁时全家移居到维也纳。在母亲的八个孩子中他是老大，也是母亲最喜爱的孩子。西格蒙德喜欢读书，一直是班里的尖子生。除散步之外，他对其他的体育运动和户外活动都不感兴趣。家里只有四间卧室，但西格蒙德的母亲却给他腾出了单独的一间房，好让他安静地学习。他几乎从不与家人共同进餐，而是单独在自己房里吃饭，与爱书相伴。

Freud first thought about studying law, but then he decided to study medicine. He enrolled at the University of Vienna in 1873. His early days at the university were difficult because some of his classmates discriminated against him because he was Jewish. This made Freud more determined than ever to do his best.

入学时的日子非常难受，班上有些同学因他是犹太人而歧视他，这使弗洛伊德更加坚定决心要全力以赴。

Freud received his medical degree in 1881. For the next few years he continued his laboratory work. After his marriage, Freud opened his own psychiatry practice. He worked with patients who were very depressed or behaved in strange ways. Later, he starte d to treat patients in a new way, called “psychoanalysis.” Psychoanalysis uses different techniques to help people.

In 1938, the German army invaded Austria. World War II was beginning, and life became terrible for millions of Jews, including Sigmund Freud. The army burnt many of his books in public and arrested him secretly. Freud needed a miracle to save his life. The miracle came when U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked the German army to set him free. They agreed to let Freud leave Austria but they wanted 20,000 pounds sterling (approximately $32,000). A Greek princess who was once a patient of Freud’s paid the money. However, Freud had to sign a paper saying that he was treated well by the German army. Freud signed the paper and added in his own handwriting, “I can most warmly recommend the Gestapo to anyone.”On June 4，1938, Freud and his family moved to a town near London. Fifteen months later, in September 1939, Freud died at the age of 83.
