As we head into the holiday week, here's a suggestion for when your flight is delayed, or you just can't possibly watch any more football.
度假州即将来临，这里给大家一个小建议：如果航班延误了，或者不想再看足球比赛的时候，

Get a book and read out loud. But don't just gather the kids and the grandkids.
可以拿出一本书来朗读。但千万别叫儿子辈和孙子辈一起。

Tonight, beloved children's book author Kate DiCamillo shares her humble opinion on the universal
今晚，备受喜爱的少儿读物作家凯特·迪卡米洛将分享她对

and age-defying magic of listening to a shared story.
倾听共同故事对所有人亘古不变的魅力。

It's 1972, and I'm 8 years old and in second grade at Clermont Elementary in Clermont, Florida.
1972年，我8岁，在加州克莱蒙的克莱蒙小学读二年级。

The classroom floors are wood, and there's a ticking clock on the wall,
教室有木质的地板、时钟、

and there's a chalkboard, and there are mottoes to live by strung up above it.
黑板，黑板上还有格言。

And the teacher, Ms. Boyette, is wearing cat eyeglasses with glinting rhinestones.
波耶特老师带着莱茵石制的猫眼眼镜，闪着光。

She's reading aloud to us from Island of the Blue Dolphins.
老师正在给我们朗读《蓝色的海豚岛》。

And we have just come to a part of the book where the main character tames a wild dog, a wild dog.
当时正读到主角驯服一只野犬的情节。这只野犬非常有野性。

And I'm literally on the edge of my seat. I'm listening, listening, caught up in the wonder of at all. I'm a kid who loves a story.
而我已经坐不住了——我全神贯注地听着，为整个故事所着迷。我是个喜欢听故事的小孩儿。

But also in that second grade classroom seated not too far away from me, there's a class bully.
不过，在离我作为不远的地方，有一个班级里的恶霸。

Because I am so terrified of this boy, he doesn't even seem real to me.
因为我特别怕这个男孩，他在我眼中甚至像一种虚幻的强大存在。

He is, in my mind, less a boy and more a monster. In any case, Ms. Boyette is reading.
他在我眼中不是不像个男孩子，更像一只猛兽。但波耶特老师还在读着，并没有什么异样。

And I look over at this boy because he is someone I am very much in the habit of keeping an eye on.
我看向这个男孩，因为我已经习惯时刻注意他的动向了。

And I notice that he is listening too, that he is engaged by the story, that he, like me,
我注意到他居然也在听老师讲故事，而且听得很专注。他跟我一样，

is leaning forward in his seat and listening with his whole heart.
身子前倾，全心听着故事。

I stare at him, open-mouthed. I'm struck with a sudden knowledge that this boy that I'm so afraid of is in fact just like me.
我难以置信地看着他，突然得知这个男孩跟我相似的感觉让我恐惧极了，我沉浸于这种恐惧中无法自拔。

He's a kid who likes a story. The boy must feel my eyes on him, because he turns.
他居然也是喜欢听故事的孩子。他大概是感受到了我的目光注视，因为他突然转过身来。

He sees me seeing him, and something miraculous happens. He smiles at me. Really.
他看到我在看他了，这时候，神奇的事情发生了——他居然对我笑了。我肯定没看错。

And then another miracle. I, unafraid, smile back. We're two kids smiling at each other.
然后，又一个神奇的事情出现了。我居然没有害怕地对他回笑。我们两个孩子就这样笑眯眯地看着对方。

Why have I never forgotten this small moment? Why, almost 50 years later, do I still recall every detail of it?
我为什么一直无法忘掉这如沧海一粟的一刻呢？为什么即便是50年后的今天，我依然能回想起这件事的每个细节呢？

I think it's because that moment illustrates so beautifully the power of reading out loud.
我认为这是因为那一刻完美地诠释了朗读的力量。

Reading aloud ushers us into a third place, a safe room.
朗读能让我们进入另一个世界，一个安全的空间。

It's a room where everyone involved, the reader and the listener, can put down their defenses and lower their guard.
在这个空间里，每个人都投入其中，无论是讲者还是听者都是如此。他们能放下自己的戒备和警惕。

We humans long not just for story, not just for the flow of language, but for the connection that comes when words are read aloud.
长期以来，人类不只关注故事本身，也不只关注语言的流动性，还关注朗读的时候人与人之间的联系。

That connection provides illumination. It lets us see each other.
这种联系感照亮了黑暗，让我们能看见彼此。

When people talk about the importance of reading aloud, they almost always mean an adult reading to the child.
每当有人谈论朗读的重要性时，就好像朗读只属于成年人。

We forget about the surly adolescent and the confused young adult and the weary middle-aged and the lonely old.
我们忘却了一件事——每个人都是从乖张搞的少年变成了满心疑惑的成年人，又变成了操心不断的中年人，最后成为孤独老去的老人。

We need it too. We all need that third place, that safe room that reading out loud provides.
孩子们也需要朗读，谁不需要这样一个空间呢，一个朗读创造的安全空间。

We all need that chance to see each other. What a great piece of advice.
我们都需要借助朗读的机会来看见彼此，感谢您的建议。
