Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Graz, Austria on July 30, 1947. He enjoyed playing sports as a child, and he began lifting weights to build up his strength（力量）for football and swimming.
Then, when he was around 15 years old, he started to lift weights seriously for body building（健美）. He also began taking part in body building competitions in England at this time. When he was 18, he won the Junior Mr. Europe Competition. Then, he later won Mr. Olympia.
In 1968, when he was 21 years old, Mr. Schwarzenegger went to the United States. He continued to enter and win body building competitions, but he also started a company which helped build buildings to earn more money.
In 1970, he made a movie called Hercules in New York. For the movie, he changed his name to Arnold Strong instead of using his real name. This was his first acing job. In 1973, he acted in a smart part in another movie called The long Goodbye.
Mr. Schwarzenegger finally decided that he should retire from body building in the late 1970s after he had won 13 world championships（冠军）. Around the time of his retirement from body building, he made another film called Pumping Iron in which the body builder played himself.
He finally decided that his future was in acting. However, many people did not think that the body builder with the funny way of speaking was cut out for acting. It was not until movies like Conan the Barbarian and Terminator made millions of dollars that Hollywood began to see Arnold Schwarzenegger as a real actor.
