Schizophrenia思覺失調症 is a serious mental illness是一種嚴重的精神疾病 that can last for years可能持續好幾年。A person一個患者 with it患有這種病 may hear聽到 voices other people do not hear別人聽不到的聲音，believe things相信一些事 that do not match和實際發生的不符 what is happening around them周遭正在發生的事，or find that或發現 thinking and feeling想法和感覺 do not line up with everyday life跟日常生活對不上。It is a doctor's word它是個醫學用字。
Though actually, it is not “having two people inside one body” — that is a different condition, and mixing the two is the most common mistake. The name was built from Greek pieces meaning “split” and “mind,” but doctors today do not mean the person is two people. They mean thoughts, seeing, and feeling can come apart from the shared world.
Though actually不過其實，it is not它不是"having two people inside one body"「一個身體裡住著兩個人」——that那 is a different condition是另一種完全不同的狀況，and mixing the two而把這兩者搞混 is the most common mistake是最常見的誤會。The name這個名字 was built from是用⋯拼出來的 Greek pieces希臘文的字根 meaning "split" and "mind,"意思是「分裂」和「心智」，but doctors today但今天的醫生 do not mean並不是說 the person is two people這個人是兩個人。They他們 mean意思是 thoughts, seeing, and feeling想法、感官和感受 can come apart from可能會脫離 the shared world大家共有的那個世界。
Use the word with care; it names real pain, not a funny or personality.
Use the word用這個字要 with care小心一點；it它 names指的是 real pain真實的痛苦，not a funny or changeable personality而不是一個好笑或善變的性格。
組成From German Schizophrenie (the name was coined by Eugen Bleuler), from Ancient Greek σχίζω, “to split,” + φρήν, “mind,” + English -ia. In English you can also see it as schizo- + -phrenia.
