BBCLearningEnglish.com 的 Six Minute English，大家好，這裡是 BBC Learning English 的 Six Minute English。

Sometimes I go a while without reading anything.

有時候我會有一段時間什麼書都不讀。

I read on the train to work all the time.

我上班搭火車的時候，隨時都在看書。

Well, that is a great way to get some reading in, I guess.

嗯，我想這確實是個能讀到一些東西的好方法。

And reading, of course, is a life skill, an essential skill which is useful or important in everyone's life.

當然，閱讀是一項生活技能，是每個人生活中都有用或重要的必備技能。

But reading can be a struggle for people with dyslexia, a learning difficulty, making it hard for people to read, write or spell.

不過，對於有閱讀障礙的人來說，閱讀可能是一件很困難的事，這是一種學習困難，會讓他們在閱讀、寫作或拼字上遇到困難。

It's thought that around 1 in 10 people in the UK are dyslexic, and

據估計，英國大約有十分之一的人是閱讀障礙者，

many dyslexic children struggle at school, where the focus is on reading and writing.

許多有閱讀障礙的兒童在學校會遇到困難，因為學校的重點在於閱讀和寫作。

But in this episode, we'll be hearing how dyslexics have other skills which allow them to excel in the workplace.

但在這集節目中，我們將聽到有閱讀障礙者如何擁有其他能力，讓他們在職場上表現優異。

As usual, we'll be learning some useful new words and phrases.

照常，我們會學到一些有用的新單字和片語。

And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary for this episode on our website, bbclearningenglish.com but first, I have a question for you, Phil.

還有，別忘了，你可以在我們的網站 bbclearningenglish.com 上找到本集的所有詞彙，但首先，我有一個問題要問你，Phil。

Studies have shown that people with dyslexia have enhanced abilities in certain areas and can excel in creative thinking, problem solving and inventiveness.

研究顯示，有閱讀障礙的人在某些領域擁有增強的能力，並且能在創意思考、問題解決和發明能力上表現優異。

那麼，哪位著名的科學家有閱讀障礙呢？

Was it A, Stephen Hawking, B, Albert Einstein?

是 A，史蒂芬霍金，B，愛因斯坦嗎？

I think it's B. I think it's Albert Einstein.

Well, we'll find out the answer at the end of the program.

好，我們會在節目最後揭曉答案。

Now, the British charity Made By Dyslexia shares online learning tools and works with school and teachers to raise awareness about the condition.

英國的慈善機構 Made By Dyslexia 提供線上學習工具，並與學校和老師合作，來提高大家對這個病症的意識。

If you're dyslexic, it's kind of your superpower.

如果你是閱讀障礙者，這就像是你的超能力。

It's like the way that you think our brains, they're wired to, I think, process information differently.

感覺上，我們的大腦神經連結方式，是為了用不同的方式處理資訊。

The way I see the world might be different from somebody else, but that's valid.

我看待世界的方式可能跟別人不一樣，但這是有效的。

In fact, it's vital you might recognise some of those voices, including actors Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley and businessman Richard Branson.

事實上，你可能會認出其中一些聲音，包括演員奧蘭多·布魯和綺拉·奈特莉，以及企業家李察·布蘭森。

The message is that far from being a disability, dyslexia is their superpower, the ability to do something other people can't.

這個訊息是，閱讀障礙絕非一種殘疾，而是他們的超能力，是別人做不到的事。

Made by Dyslexia was founded by social entrepreneur Kate Griggs.

And Kate co authored a report showing that empowering dyslexic workers could boost the global economy.

Kate 共同撰寫了一份報告，顯示賦予有閱讀障礙的員工權力，可以提振全球經濟。

BBC World Service Programme People fixing the world met Kate at the report's London launch event, where she explained why being dyslexic can actually give advantages in life, including some exciting job prospects.

BBC 世界服務節目「改變世界的人」在報告的倫敦發布會上採訪了 Kate，她解釋了為什麼有閱讀障礙的人實際上能在生活中獲得優勢，包括一些令人興奮的工作前景。

If you think about what you have to do as a spy, you have to be reading people really quickly, spotting complex patterns and solving problems really quickly, so you can see whether there's a terror threat.

如果你想想當間諜需要做什麼，你必須非常快速地讀懂人，識別複雜的模式並快速解決問題，這樣你就能看出是否存在恐怖威脅。

有閱讀障礙者是優秀的間諜，這很自然。

Kate thinks dyslexics make good spies, the people who secretly collect information about another country's government or organizations.

Kate 認為有閱讀障礙者是好的間諜，他們是祕密收集有關他國政府或組織資訊的人。

To read people means to be able to understand someone's true intentions through their body language and behavior rather than their words.

解讀他人，是指透過肢體語言和行為，而非言語來理解一個人的真實意圖。

Also present at the London charity event was space scientist and dyslexic herself, Dr. Maggie Adairin Pocock.

Here, Maggie tells BBC World Services people fixing the World how being dyslexic contributes different skills and ideas to her project teams.

在這裡，Maggie 向 BBC 世界服務節目「改變世界的人」分享，閱讀障礙如何為她的專案團隊帶來不同的技能和想法。

Well, I think it's recognising people's skills and differences.

嗯，我認為這是要認可人們的技能和差異。

We do it in science, and that's when we reach for the stars.

我們在科學領域就是這樣做的，這時候我們就會追求卓越。

But to do that, we need to know our skills and value all the skills.

但要做到這一點，我們需要了解我們的技能，並重視所有技能。

Maggie thinks that everyone's skills should be valued, considered important.

Maggie 認為每個人的技能都應該被重視，被認為是重要的。

Dyslexics may struggle to read or spell, but

閱讀障礙者在閱讀或拼寫上可能會遇到困難，但是

their skills in problem solving and communication, for example, can be essential for scientific success.

他們在問題解決和溝通方面的技能，例如，對科學上的成功至關重要。

By valuing everyone's contribution, business and science teams can reach for the stars.

透過重視每個人的貢獻，企業和科學團隊都能夠追求卓越。

An idiom meaning to be ambitious and try to achieve something difficult, even if it seems impossible.

這是一句諺語，意思是雄心勃勃，即使看似不可能，也要努力達成困難的目標。

And talking of reaching for the stars, Pippa, I think it's time you revealed the answer to your question about successful scientists.

說到追求卓越，Pippa，我想是時候揭曉你關於成功科學家的問題的答案了。

I asked you which famous scientist was dyslexic?

我問你，哪位著名的科學家有閱讀障礙？

Was it A, Stephen Hawking, B, Albert Einstein, or C, Marie Curie?

是 A、史蒂芬·霍金，B、愛因斯坦，還是 C、瑪麗·居禮？

And you were right, Phil, it was Albert Einstein.

Okay, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned.

好的，我們來複習一下學過的詞彙。

Starting with life skill, an essential skill such as reading or problem solving, which is useful in everyone's life.

首先是生活技能，像是閱讀或問題解決這種對大家生活都很有用的基本技能。

A superpower is the ability to do something that other people can't.

超能力就是一種別人做不到、但你卻能做到的能力。

A spy is someone who secretly collects information about other countries, governments or organizations.

間諜就是那種會祕密收集其他國家、政府或組織情報的人。

If you're good at reading people, you can understand people's real intentions through how they act and behave instead of what they say.

如果你很擅長「讀懂」別人，就能透過他們的言行舉止，而不是他們說的話，來瞭解他們的真實意圖。

If you value something or someone, you consider them to be important.

如果你重視某人或某物，就會認為他們很重要。

And finally, the idiom to reach for the stars means to have high or ambitious aims and try to achieve something difficult, even if it seems impossible.

最後，片語「reach for the stars」的意思是，即使目標看似不可能，也要有遠大或雄心勃勃的目標並努力去達成。
