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(yè)上和愛情生活中獲得更大的成功，并且到暮年仍保持大腦健康？

The answer could be to learn another language.Or at least that's the case according to a majority of Americans and Britons polled in a new survey by language app Babbel.Apparently, 71% of Americans and 61% of Britons believe speaking more than one language makes a person seem more attractive.
答案或許是，學(xué)習(xí)另一種語言。至少大多數(shù)的美國人和英國人是這么認(rèn)為的，這個數(shù)據(jù)來源于語言應(yīng)用軟件Babbel的一項新調(diào)查。顯然，71%的美國人和61%的英國人認(rèn)為，會說不止一種語言似乎使人更具吸引力。

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. About half said they'd dreamed about a romance with someone from another country. And moving from the bedroom to boardroom, about one in four Americans and Britons think that being monolingual has held them back professionally. So it's probably no surprise that one in eight confessed to having exaggerated their language skills on a resume.
接受調(diào)查的3000名說英語的英美人士中，有九成承認(rèn)他們愿意為了追逐愛情而學(xué)習(xí)一種新的語言。約一半的人表示，他們曾夢想著和來自另一個國家的人擁有一段浪漫愛情。從家庭事務(wù)來到工作事務(wù)上，約有四成的美國人和英國人認(rèn)為，只會一種語言阻礙了他們的職業(yè)發(fā)展。因此，有八成人承認(rèn)在簡歷中夸大了自己的語言技能，這也不怎么意外。

And which languages have the most sex appeal -- in UK and US eyes, at least? Well, the Babbel guys asked that in a previous survey.
那么，在英國人和美國人的眼里，哪種語言最性感呢？Babbel的調(diào)查人員在此前的調(diào)查中問過這個問題。

French was considered the "sexiest" language by respondents on both sides of the Atlantic (US 40%, UK 32%) and the hottest foreign accent in which to hear English (US 38%, UK 40%).
兩國的受訪者（40%的美國人，32%的英國人）認(rèn)為法語是“最性感”的語言，同時帶有法語口音的英語也是最性感的外國口音（38%的美國人，40%的英國人）。

So being multilingual can make you more appealing, more successful and more compassionate. And it's also good for your health.
所以，會說多種語言可以讓你更有吸引力，更成功，且更富有同情心。而且對你的健康也有好處。
