"The bilingual brain is fascinating because it reflects humans' abilities for flexible thinking - bilingual babies learn that objects and events in the world have two names, and flexibly switch between these labels, giving the brain lots of good exercise," said Patricia Kuhl, co-author of the study and co-director of the UW's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences.
帕特麗夏•庫爾是該研究的合著者之一，也是華盛頓大學學習與大腦科學研究所的副主任，她說：“雙語大腦很棒，因為它可以反映出人類靈活思維的能力。雙語寶寶們認識到世界上的物體和事件都有兩個名稱，并能在不同的名稱之間靈活轉換，這給了大腦很多有益的鍛煉。”
Kuhl's previous studies show that between 8 and 10 months of age, monolingual babies become increasingly able to distinguish speech sounds of their native language, while at the same time their ability to distinguish sounds from a foreign language declines.
庫爾之前的研究顯示，只接觸一種語言的寶寶在8個月到10個月大的時候分辨母語語音方面能力會日益增強，但與此同時，分辨外語語音的能力卻減弱了。
For instance, between 8 and 10 months of age babies exposed to English become better at detecting the difference between 'r' and 'l' sounds, which are prevalent in the English language.
比方說，接觸英語的寶寶們在8個月至10個月大的時候會更容易分辨r和l兩個音的區別，而這兩個音在英語中很普遍。
This is the same age when Japanese babies, who are not exposed to as many 'r' and 'l' sounds, decline in their ability to detect them.
而同年齡的日本寶寶們沒有接觸到那么多的r和l，所以他們分辨出這兩個音的能力也在下降。
