Want greater success in your career and your love life, as well as a healthy brain long into old age?

想要在事業上和愛情生活中獲得更大的成功,並且到晚年仍保持大腦健康?

 

The answer could be to learn another language.

答案或許是,學習另一種语言。

 

Or at least that's the case according toa majority of Americans and Britons polled in a new survey by language app Babbel.

至少大多數的美國人和英國人是這麼認為的,這個數據來自語言應用程式Babbel的一項新調查。

 

Oui, c'est vrai!

嗯,是真的!(法語)

 

Of 3,000 English-speakers polled in the US and the UK, nine out of 10 admitted they'd learn a new language in pursuit of love.

接受調查的3000名說英文的英美人士中,有九成承認他們願意為了追逐愛情而學習一種新的語言。

 

About half said they'd dreamed about a romance with someone from another country.

近一半的人表示,他們曾夢想著和來自另一個國家的人擁有一段浪漫愛情。

 

And moving from the bedroom to boardroom, about one in four Americans and Britons think that being monolingual has held them back professionally.

從家庭事務到工作事務,約有四分之一的美國人和英國人認為,只會一種語言阻礙了他們的事業發展。

 

So it's probably no surprise that one in eight confessed to having exaggerated their language skills on a resume.

因此,有八成人承認在履歷中誇大了自己的語言技能,這也不怎麼意外。

 

"Languages not only enable you to expand yourself in terms of perspective and skillset, but they also open doors and help you better understand other cultures and peoples," Miriam Plieninger, director of didactics at Babbel, tells CNN.

Babbel的教學主任Miriam Plieninger表示:“語言不僅能拓寬自己的視野和技能,同時也打開另一扇門,幫助你更好地理解其他文化和民族。”

 

"Knowing another language helps to break barriers and to connect on a special level of mutual understanding; be it while on the street, traveling, or in business."

“了解另一種語言有助於打破障礙,通過特殊層面的相互理解進行溝通;不論是在街頭,旅行中,還是在商業往來中。”
