喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/saɪˈkɑːlədʒɪst/ · /saɪˈkɒlədʒɪst/心理學家；心理師

    Someone who is trained in psychology — the study of the mind and how people think, feel, and behave. Psychologists study people, and many of them help people with their feelings, but a psychologist is not a medical doctor.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei's aunt is a child psychologist, so she spends her days learning how young children think.

    逐字美的阿姨是一位兒童心理學家，所以她把她的日子花在了解小孩子怎麼思考。

    psychologist 指的是「受過 psychology（心理學）訓練的人」，也就是專門研究人怎麼想、怎麼感覺、怎麼行動的人。這個字可以想成 psycho-（心）加上 -logist（研究某個領域的人），就像 biologist 研究生物、geologist 研究地球一樣。它最容易跟 psychiatrist（精神科醫師）混在一起：psychiatrist 讀醫學、可以開藥；psychologist 不是醫生，靠的是談話、觀察和測驗。

core核心畫面

Think of someone whose training is in watching and understanding how people think, feel, and act — sitting with a person, or running a study on many people. The one line worth holding on to: this person is not a medical doctor, so the picture is of listening and observing, not of writing prescriptions.

可以想成：一個受過訓練、專門在觀察與理解「人怎麼想、怎麼感覺、怎麼行動」的人——可能坐在個案對面談話，也可能在做一整批人的研究。有一點特別值得記住：這個身分不是醫師，所以畫面比較接近「聽與觀察」，而不是「開藥」。
