From the most dramatic moment in life – the day of your birth – to first steps, first words, first food, right up to nursery school, most of us can't remember anything of our first few years. How come? 从你一生当中最激动人心的时刻——你的出生日开始，到第一次走路，第一次说话，第一次吃东西，一直到上幼儿园，我们大多数人不记得生命中头几年的事情了。这是怎么回事呢？ This gaping hole in the record of our lives has been baffling psychologists, neuroscientists and linguists for decades. It was a minor obsession of the father of psychotherapy, Sigmund Freud, who coined the phrase 'infant amnesia' over 100 years ago. 我们生命记录中的这一空白已经困扰心理学家、神经系统科学家和语言学家数十年了。心理疗法之父西格蒙德·弗洛伊德对此也颇有研究，他于100多年前创造了"婴儿健忘症"一词。 |
