A 10-year-old schoolgirl has become fluent in four languages - despite the fact she is completely blind.
一个十岁的小姑娘,双目失明,却精通四门语言。

Alexia Sloane lost her sight at the age of two after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and underwent 18 months of gruelling chemotherapy.
But the ambitious schoolgirl has not let her disability hold her back and has become fluent in Spanish, French, Chinese and Braille by the age of 10.
Alexia Sloane两岁时因脑瘤而失明,并接受了18个月痛苦不堪的化疗,但是这个坚强的小女孩并没有被打倒,她在十岁的时候已经精通西班牙语、法语、中文和盲文。

She has already achieved two A*s for GCSEs in French and Spanish, which she took aged nine, and is now learning Arabic and Russian.
她九岁的时候已经以A的成绩拿下法语和西班牙语的普通中等教育证书,目前在学阿拉伯语和俄语。

Last week Alexia went to Brussels, Belgium, to translate a top European Union meeting after winning the 'most courageous child' award at a local community event.
她在当地的一次评选中被评为“最勇敢的孩子”,那之后她去了比利时,布鲁塞尔,为一场高级欧盟会议做翻译员。

Alexia said: 'I love learning languages. Spanish and French were quite easy to learn, but Chinese is hard because you have to get the tones perfect. '
Alexia说:“我喜欢学习语言。西班牙语和法语都很容易,不过中文就比较难,因为有四声的关系。”

'At the age of six I said to my mother I wanted to learn another language and she said 'alright how about Chinese?'. So I did. I want to learn Arabic and Russian next.'
“六岁的时候我跟妈妈说,我想再学一门外语。妈妈说那就中文吧,我说好的。现在我想学阿拉伯语和俄语。”

Alexia lives with her parents Isabelle, 43, and Richard, 61, both teachers in Cambridge and her four-year-old sister Melissa.
Alexia现在和父母以及一个四岁的妹妹住在一起,她的父母都是剑桥的老师。

She shadowed East of England MEP Robert Sturdy and interpreted two hours of an environment committee meeting at the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
她跟随欧洲议会议员Robert Sturdy参加了欧盟的一次环境委员会会议,做了两个小时的口译。
