I didn't start out to study psycholinguistics. I started out to study a million languages, because I loved them.

我一开始不是学语言心理学的。我一开始是把精力放在了研究各种语言上，因为我真地很喜欢语言。

So I thought psycholinguistics would be interesting.

所以我觉得心理语言学会很有趣。

Next comes psycholinguistics, which merges the fields of psychology and linguistics to study how people process language and how language use is related to underlying mental processes.

其次是心理语言学，它融合了心理学和语言学的领域来研究人们如何处理语言，以及语言的使用如何与潜在的心理过程相关。
