　　關於名人的英語故事：Sigmund Freud

　　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·弗洛伊德於1856年出生於現在的捷克共和國的摩拉維亞。西格蒙德四歲時全家移居到維也納。在母親的八個孩子中他是老大，也是母親最喜愛的孩子。西格蒙德喜歡讀書，一直是班裡的尖子生。除散步之外，他對其他的體育運動和戶外活動都不感興趣。家裡只有四間臥室，但西格蒙德的母親卻給他騰出了單獨的一間房，好讓他安靜地學習。他幾乎從不與家人共同進餐，而是單獨在自己房裡吃飯，與愛書相伴。

　　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.

　　起初，弗洛伊德打算學習法律，但後來他決定學醫，並於1873年考入維也納大學。剛入學時的日子非常難受，班上有些同學因他是猶太人而歧視他，這使弗洛伊德更加堅定決心要全力以赴。

　　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 started to treat patients in a new way, called “psychoanalysis.” Psychoanalysis uses different techniques to help people.

　　弗洛伊德於1881年獲得醫學學位，此後的幾年，他繼續進行自己的實驗室研究工作。婚後，弗洛伊德開了自己的神經病診所，專門治療精神抑鬱或行為異常的病人。後來，他開始用一種稱作“心理分析”的新方法治療病人，這種方法通過採納各種不同的技術手段來幫助病人。

　　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.

　　1938年，德國軍隊入侵奧地利，第二次世界大戰爆發，對於幾百萬猶太人來說，生活變得極其恐怖，西格蒙德·弗洛伊德也在所難免。德軍當眾燒燬了他的許多書，還把出版這些書的公司也給搗毀了，並祕密逮捕了他。弗洛伊德現在需要奇蹟才能挽救他的性命。奇蹟真的出現了——美國總統富蘭克林·羅斯福出面要求德軍釋放他。德國方面同意讓弗洛伊德離開奧地利，但索要20, 000英鎊將近32, 000美元做贖金。弗洛伊德曾經的病人——位希臘公主為他付了錢。但是，弗洛伊德還必須在一個檔案上簽名，證明他在德軍中受到了良好待遇。弗洛伊德簽了名，並親筆補充道：“我可以向任何人、用最熱烈的方式推薦蓋世太保。”1938年6月4 日，弗洛伊德和他的一家遷到倫敦附近的一個小鎮。15個月後，即1939年9月，弗洛伊德去世，終年83歲。

　　關於名人的英語故事：Dale Carnegie

　　戴爾·卡耐基

　　The name of Dale Carnegie is synonymous with success and influence. Perhaps the most well-known author in the field of communication and public speaking, Dale Carnegie was born into poverty on a small farm in Missouri, on November 24, 1888. His father, named John William Caraagie, was a poor farmer. His mother, named Amanda Elizabeth Camagie, worked with his father on the farm. Dale Camegey came from humble beginnings. Yearly floods devastated the farm and kept the family poor.

　　戴爾·卡耐基的名字幾乎和成功、影響是同義詞，他也許是世界上在交流和演講領域最有名的作家。卡耐基於1888年11月24日出生在密蘇里州的一個農場。他的父親約翰·威廉·卡耐基是一位貧苦的農民，母親阿曼達·伊利沙白·卡耐基和和丈夫一起在農場工作。戴爾·卡耐基就這樣在貧苦中開始生活。每年的洪水氾濫摧毀了農場，使這個家庭更加貧困。

　　The family was in debt, and as a young boy he had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to milk the cows and help on the farm, then to go to school. As a boy, Dale was known for one thing: reciting. He used his talents in church functions and local events. In high School he joined the debating team, but never won a debate. Frustrated, he was determined to go to college and attended a state teacher’s school. He couldn’t afford to board at the school, so he rode a horse each day to class. It was said that he practiced his reciting to the horse!

　　家裡負債累累。這個小男孩每天早上四點就要起床到農場幫忙擠牛奶，然後再去上學。有一項能力讓年輕的戴爾遠近聞名：朗誦。他經常在當地的活動和教堂的活動中為大家朗誦。中學時，他參加了辯論隊，卻從沒有獲勝過。沮喪之餘，他下定決心上大學。他進入了一所州立師範學院。由於住不起學校宿舍，他不得不騎著馬去上學。據說，他在馬背上還練習朗誦。

　　As a child, Carnegie lacked of confidence and was often full of worries in those days. One day, while helping his mother pit cherries, he began to cry. His mother said, “Dale, what in the world are you crying about?” He blubbered, “I am afraid I am going to be buried alive!”

　　卡耐基在孩提時代缺乏自信，充滿焦慮。一天，當他幫助媽媽給櫻桃樹挖坑時，他哭了。媽媽問：“戴爾，你到底在哭什麼呢?”戴爾抽噎著說：“我怕我被活埋在這坑裡。”

　　When thunderstorms came, he worried for fear he would be killed for lightning. When hard times came, he worried for fear they wouldn’t have enough to eat. He worried for fear he would go to hell when he died. He was terrified for fear an older boy, Sam White, would cut off his big ears 一 as he threatened to do... Later he finally found out that 99 percent of his worries did not happen.

　　打雷時，他擔心會被雷劈死;年景不好時，擔心以後沒有食物充飢;還擔心死後會不會下地獄。他對一個叫西姆·懷特的大男孩感到恐懼，因為西姆曾威脅他說要割掉他的大耳朵…後來，他終於發現，他擔心的事情99%都沒有發生。

　　It’s this humble and unconfident little boy who became a lecturer, giving hundreds of thousands of people confidence and optimism all over the world. It’s not difficult for one to imagine how arduous the development process involved has been.

　　就是這樣一個如此自卑，毫無自信的小男孩，最終成為給成千上萬的人自信，讓人們樂觀的心理激勵大師，這過程需要經歷多少磨礪，灑下多少汗水，真是難以想象啊。

　　關於名人的英語故事：Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

　　弗里德里希·威廉·尼采

　　Nietzsche’s early childhood is itself a story of writing, reading, illness and isolation. He was sentto the local school but then gained a place at the elite academy of Pforta in 1858. By 1862，wefind the young Nietzsche already recording his doubts about the religious faith that dominatedhis home background. He was turning even then to ideas of evolution, and already had begunto speculate on the human condition: “...we scarcely even know whether humanity itself isonly a step.” Jaspers remarks that “Nietzsche philosophises as a boy.”

　　尼采有一個被寫作、閱讀、疾病與孤獨充斥的童年。他被送入本地的學校，而在1858年獲得了在普福塔精英學院學習的機會。到了1862年，我們發現年輕的尼采已經對統治其生活環境的宗教信仰產生了懷疑。他甚至在那時就已經開始關注進化論思想，並思考人類的生存狀態，“我們幾乎不知道人類本身是否只是一個階段。”雅斯帕斯評論道，“尼采像一個孩子一樣進行哲思。

　　Nietzsche was certainly an intense boy, often lonely and absorbed by ideas. In 1863，we findhim already struggling to convey the mass of his thoughts on paper: “I stare for a long timeat the white paper in front of me, troubled by the confused crowd of themes.” This sense of“abundance” is one of the experiences given to the character Zarathustra.

　　毫無疑問，尼采是一個感情強烈的孩子，他經常是孤單的，而且沉迷於各種各樣的想法。我們發現早在1863年他就努力把自己的思想記錄下來：“我長時間地盯著眼前的白紙，眾多的觀點集結於此，困擾著我。”這個“豐富”的意識，後來被加在了查拉圖斯特拉的性格上。

　　In 1865, Nietzsche went to Leipzig as a student, where he shifted to the study of classicalphilology, the ancient languages and their origins. Already he saw his own future in learning andteaching: “My goal is to become a truly practical teacher...”

　　1865年，尼采遊學萊比錫，並轉而攻讀經典語言學，學習古代語言以及它們的來源。他把自己的未來生活確定為學習與教書：“我的目標是成為一名真正的教 師…”

　　Nietzsche was searching for fellow spirits and in 1865 he discovered in a bookshop the majorwork of Schopenhauer, The World as Will and Representation. For the student Nietzsche, thisbook by his older contemporary was a mirror of his own thoughts and struggles. Throughouthis life, Nietzsche needed heroes of thought, models for his own quest.

　　尼采一直在找尋靈魂上的同伴。1865年他在書店裡找到了叔本華的《作為意識與表象的世界》。對於還是一名學生的尼采來說，這部由一個年齡稍長於他的同時代人所寫的作品，正是一面他自己的思維及其鬥爭的鏡子。尼采一生都在探索和尋求，期待著思想的偉人和典範。

　　In 1867, he enrolled in the army, but he still kept on learning. Now Nietzsche was acquiringother heroes, such as the ancient Greek thinker Democritus. In 1868, Nietzsche was readingand writing about the late eighteenth-century German authority Kant. In the same year, hemet the composer Richard Wagner whom he described as “a fabulously vivacious, fiery man” .In 1871, Nietzsche started work on what became his first book, The Birth of Tragedy.

　　1867年，尼采應徵入伍，但仍然堅持學習。此時的尼采結識到其他一些偉人的思想，例如古希臘思想家德摸克利特。1868年，尼采閱讀並寫了一部關於18世紀晚期德國權威思想家康德的作品。同一年，尼采遇見了作曲家理查德·瓦格納，並將他描述為“一個驚人地樂觀與熱烈的人”。1871年，尼采開始寫作他的第一部作品《悲劇的誕生》。

　　In January 1883, Nietzsche wrote Book I of TSZ in 10 days. The period after that was a time ofintense productiveness. He died in Aug. 24, 1900.

　　1883年1月，尼采在十天內完成了《如是說》的第一部。此後，是尼采極為多產的時期。尼采卒於1900年8月24日。
