单词历史
mesmerize迷惑，迷住
someone is mesmerized by something指某人为某物神魂颠倒，仿佛中了魔咒或被催眠了一般。mesmerize出自奥地利医生、催眠师弗朗茨·安东·梅斯梅尔（Franz Anton Mesmer，1734—1815）之名，他是首位将催眠术运用于医疗的人。梅斯梅尔出生于奥地利，后来在维也纳行医。他认为自己行医之所以成功，源于他使用磁铁作为催眠工具。
尽管那些被他治愈的病人给予他莫大的支持，他还是被奥地利当局从维也纳驱逐出去，于1778年移居巴黎。在那里，他的治疗技术变成了时尚。
1784年，路易十六任命了一个科学委员会调查他。他们得出的结论是：梅斯梅尔是个吹牛皮的骗子。他不得不逃离巴黎，在瑞士默默无闻地度过余生。他相信他的成功是由于超自然力量的帮助，而今天，我们都知道这是因为他的催眠技术。（更多）
