Among all the sciences, psychology is perhaps the most mysterious to the general public, and the most prone to misconception. Even though its language and ideas have infiltrated everyday culture, most people have only a hazy idea of what the subject is about, and what psychologist actually do.
在所有的科学中，大家普遍人物心理学也许是最神秘的科学，也是最容易误解的科学。即使它的观点和思想已经融入到人们的生活当中，大部分人对心理学这个学科，对心理学家纠正在干嘛，都还是只有一个模糊的想法。

For some, psychology conjures up images of people in white coats, either staffing an institution for mental disorders or conducting laboratory experiments on rate. Others may imagine a man with a middle-European accent psychoanalyzing a patient on a couch or, if film scripts are to be believed, plotting to exercise some form of mind control.
对某些人来说，心理学就是一些穿着白大褂人，在精神病机构工作的工作人员，或者在实验室在老鼠身上做实验的人。其他有些人会联想到一个中欧面貌的人在给一个沙发上病人进行精神治疗，或是像电影脚本中那样，做一些精神控制的实验。

Although these stereotypes are an exaggeration, some true lies beneath them. It is perhaps the huge range of subjects that fall under the umbrella of psychology (and the bewildering array of terms beginning with the prefix "psych-") that creates confusion over that psychology entails; Psychologists themselves are unlikely to agree on a single definition of the word.
尽管这些对心理学的最原始的认识有一些夸张，但这底层下却是真的事实。在心理学牵涉的引起疑惑很大一批学科都是和心理学一脉相承的（这些让人迷惑的学科都是以“psych”开头的）。心理学家在对心理学一词的定义上很难达到统一。

“Psychology” comes from the ancient Greek psyche, meaning "soul" or "mind", and logia, a "study" or "account", which seems to sum up the broad scope of the subject, but today the word most accurately describes " the science of mind and behavior".
心理学起源于古希腊的心灵，意为“灵魂”或者“思想”，贤哲将它定义为一种包含学科所有范围的“研究”或者“考量”，但今天心理学的最最准确的定义是：“思想和行为的科学”。
