小編長這么大，最會說的就是中文和方言了，可是有個4歲的女孩，居然會7門語言，真是驚呆小編啊。

At first glance, Bella Devyatkina, from Moscow, Russia, is your typical carefree, playful four-year-old, but ask her a question in Russian, English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese or Arabic, and you will be shocked by her articulate response.

來自俄羅斯莫斯科的貝拉·德瓦特基乍一眼看去與典型的4歲小朋友并無二致，無憂無慮，愛玩愛鬧。但如果你用俄語、英語、法語、西班牙語、德語、漢語或阿拉伯語來問她一個問題，你就會被她伶牙利齒的回答震驚到了。

Bella made headlines in Russia a few days ago, when she appeared on a TV talent show, where she spoke seven different languages without a prominent accent, stunning both the judges and millions of viewers. Since then, a YouTube video of her performance went viral online, transforming the four-year-old polyglot into on overnight internet celebrity. She has since been invited to appear on a variety of television programs where moderators and other guests conversed with her in several of the seven languages she is fluent in, and she always understood their questions and answered accordingly.

幾天前，貝拉上了俄羅斯各大媒體的頭條，因為她參加了一檔電視真人秀，在節目中，她講了七種不同的語言，還沒有什么口音，評委們和幾百萬觀眾都驚呆了。此后，她的表演視頻在YouTube上迅速走紅，讓這位只有4歲的“語言家”一夜之間成了網絡紅人。后來，她又被邀請參加了各種電視節目，主持人和其他節目嘉賓用她能熟練掌握的七種語言中的幾種來和她對話，她總是能夠聽懂大家的提問，然后做出相應回答。

So how does a four-year-old girl learn so many languages in such a short period of time, when most people spend years struggling to become fluent in just one foreign language. Bella’s mother, Yulia, said that she and her father started teaching her English when she was just two years old, and after noticing her interest in the language and the ease with which she picked up everything, they decided to gradually adding more languages to her schedule. They hired native tutors for each new language, and by the time she was three and a half years old, she was already speaking two languages. She mastered two more, in the next six months.

那么，一個4 歲的小女孩是如何在這么短的時間內學會這么多種語言的呢?畢竟，大多數人數年苦學，才能熟練掌握一門外語啊!貝拉的母親于莉亞說她和孩子的父親從貝拉兩歲就開始教她說英語了，他們注意到貝拉對語言很感興趣，而且什么都能輕松學會，所以決定逐漸在她的課程表中加入更多的語言。每學一門新語言，他們都會聘請一位當地外教。貝拉兩歲半時就已經能說兩門語言了，后來的六個月中，她又掌握了兩門新語言。

Yulia Devyatkina claims that Bella now spends about six hours every day studying foreign languages, from 10 in the morning to 1 p.m. and again from 5 p.m. to 8 in the evening. Upon hearing this, many people have accused her parents of stripping her of her childhood, but they insist that the classes are all structured as fun games that she genuinely enjoys. As far as Bella is concerned, she is playing, not studying.

于莉亞·德瓦特基那說貝拉現在每天用6個小時學習外語，從上午10點學到下午1點，再從晚上5點學到8點。很多人聽說之后都指責家長剝奪了貝拉的童年，但是于莉亞和丈夫堅持說每門課都是由貝拉真心喜歡的好玩的游戲組成的。在貝拉看來，她在玩耍，而不是在學習。

But while most of the world has been shocked by the young girls ability to speak six foreign languages, Russian neuropsychologist Anna Semenovich reminds us that in 19th century Russia, speaking several foreign languages was common for children of royal families.“In pre-revolutionary Russia, if a child from a noble family couldn’t speak three-four languages by the age of five or six, it was a shame to take him out. ”

但是，當世界上大多數人都被小女孩能說六種外語的才能感到震驚時，俄羅斯神經心理學家安娜·賽門諾維奇提醒大家：在19世紀的俄羅斯，對于來自王室家族的小孩來說，說好幾門外語是稀松平常的事。“在革命前的俄羅斯，如果一個孩子出身高貴，到了五六歲卻不能說三四門語言，大人都不好意思帶他出門。”

The neuropsychologist says that we can only say that Bella Devyatkina has some truly special abilities in 15-20 years. “I want to wish this girl good luck, but the public needs to understand that the path to true genius is a thorny one. That’s why most prodigies don’t reach their full potential。”

這位神經心理學家說，只有再過15-20年，我們才敢說貝拉·德瓦特基那真的擁有特殊才能。“我想祝這位小女孩好運，但公眾需要理解，通向天才之路是布滿荊棘的，這也是為什么大多數天才兒童沒有把他們的天賦充分發揮出來。”

Still, many argue that the fact that Bella has managed to become fluent in languages belonging to three different groups: Indo-European (Russian, French, English, Spanish, German), Semitic (Arabic) and Sino-Tibetan (Chinese), which means they are very different and lack structural similarities, is simply mind-blowing.

盡管如此，仍有很多人爭辯說，無論如何，貝拉已經熟練掌握了分屬3個不同語系的語言：印歐語系(俄語、法語、英語、西班牙語、德語)、閃族語系(阿拉伯語)和漢藏語系(漢語)，也就是說這些語言非常不同，結構上也沒有什么相似之處，貝拉能說七種語言絕對是令人嘆為觀止的。

你會幾門語言呢？
