As children, we learn to think, learn to communicate and intuitively pick up an understanding of grammar rules in our mother tongue, or native language. From then on, we learn all new languages in relation to the one we first knew—the one that we used to understand the world around us for the first time ever.学习语言是人类与生俱来的行为。从孩提时起，我们就思考、交流，并且本能地掌握母语或本族语的语法。从那时起，我们便跟初识有关的任何新语言——正是凭着初识，我们才懂得周围的世界。 Learning a foreign language学习一门外语 When it comes to learning a second language, adults are at a disadvantage. As we age, our brain’s plasticity (its ability to create new neurons and synapses) is reduced. Following brain damage that causes a loss of speech, for instance, researchers have observed that children are more likely to regain the power of speech, by creating new pathways in the brain to replace the damaged ones.说到第二语言，成人总是处于不利地位。随着年龄增长，人类大脑的可塑性就会衰退，而这种可塑性却能产生新的神经元与突触。紧接着大脑损伤便会造成语言能力的丧失。比如，研究人员已经发现，通过新陈代谢取代大脑受损细胞，儿童更容易重新获得语言能力。 There’s still hope, though. A study of secondary language pronunciation found that some learners who started as adults scored as well as native speakers. It’s also been shown that motivation to learn can improve proficiency, so if you really want to learn a language, it’s not necessarily too late.当然希望还是有的。一项有关第二语言发音的研究发现，有些成年者照样可以将外语学得很地道。而且，语言的动机能极大提高语言掌握的熟练度。所以，如果你真的特别想学某种语言，任何时候都不算晚。 Give yourself the best chance给自己最好的机会 If you want to put in the effort to learn a new language, try these methods that are known for improving learning and memory.如果你想努力学一门新语言，那就试试下面这些方法吧，这些方法可以在和记忆方面帮到你。 1.
