The same conditions apply to bilingual children.

双语的孩子的情况与此相似。

Even at an earlyage, bilingual children show greater understanding of shapes and patterns.

即便在很小的时候，双语儿童已然表现出更强的形状与图案理解能力。

But the bilingual children would say, in their own words, “It’s silly, but it’s grammatically correct.”

然而，双语儿童会用他们自己的语言说：“真是荒谬，可句子的语法没有错误。”

Ellen Bialystok, from Toronto's York University, explained that bilingual children are better at prioritizing tasks than monolinguals.

来自多伦多约克大学的Ellen Bialystok解释道，双语儿童在执行行动优先排序的任务时表现比单语儿童要好。

Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning, and more likely to have friends from different cultures.

研究人员称，双语儿童能更好地区别单词含义，也更有可能结交不同文化背景的朋友。
