左脑右脑分别掌管不同的能力

A foreign language is a whole new intricate system of rules, structures, and lexis. Learning a new language means your brain has to cope with complexity as it makes sense of and absorbs new patterns. As our brains work out the meaning, endeavoring to communicate, we develop key learning skills such as cognitive thinking and problem-solving. Highly developed critical thinking skills are a significant benefit both personally and professionally.

外语是一个由规则、结构和词汇组成的全新的复杂系统。学习一门新语言意味着你的大脑必须在理解和吸收新模式的过程中应对复杂性。当我们的大脑理解意思，努力沟通时，我们便发展了关键的学习技能，如认知思维和解决问题。高度发达的批判性思维能力对个人和职业都有很大的好处。

Use it or lose it. How many times have you heard that phrase? It is a simple fact – the more the brain is used, the better its functions work. A new language requires not only familiarity with vocabulary and rules, but also being able to recall and apply this knowledge. Learning a language gives your memory a good work out in the brain gym. This means that multilingual people have brains that are more exercised and quick to recall names, directions, facts, and figures.

要么使用，要么失去。这句话你听过多少次了？这是一个简单的事实——大脑使用得越多，它的功能就发挥得越好。学习一门新语言不仅需要熟悉词汇和规则，还需要能够回忆和运用这些知识。学习一门语言能让你的记忆力在健脑馆里得到很好的锻炼。这意味着说多种语言的人大脑得到了更多的锻炼，他们能更快地回忆起名字、方向、事实和数字。
