　汉译英

　　在当今日益全球化的世界里，显然会说两门语言要比单单说一种有实际的好处。

然而，科学家近年来发现，双语的优势不仅仅在于能够跟更多人交流。

事实证明，成为双语人才，能够使人更加聪明。

这种能力会对人的大脑产生深远影响，不仅能够提高语言能力，更能改善其他技能。

　　这种对于双语的看法同20世纪的看法有着显著不同。

研究员、教育家和决策者曾认为第二种语言会对儿童造成干扰，妨碍其学业及其智力发展。

　　但是研究员发现，这种干扰与其说是一个绊脚之石，不如说是一种塞翁之福。

它使得大脑自我消化两种语言的内在冲突，训练心智，能够加强人对知识的吸收能力。

一个人从孩提时期到耄耋之际均会持续受到掌握双语所带来的影响。

人们也有理由相信那些后天习得第二门语言的人也会受到此影响。
