Ask people about public libraries and a certain image springs to mind: dusty, old-fashioned, the sort of place you enjoyed as a child but, rather like a British seaside town, would you go there now?

问起公共图书馆，人们脑海中会浮现出某种印象：布满灰尘、过时老旧，是你小时候喜欢去的那种地方——但就像英国的海滨小镇一样，你现在还会去那里吗？

The review recommends a national branding campaign to give libraries a stronger physical presence, the reintroduction of a scheme to enable members to use their card in any library in the country, and automatic memberships for children.

该评估建议：开展全国性的品牌推广活动，让图书馆更具实体存在感；重新推行一项让会员能在全国任何一家图书馆使用借书卡的计划；以及让儿童自动成为会员。

The grammar school boy from Stratford-upon-Avon has landed a scholarly punch after groundbreaking research showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development.

这位来自埃文河畔斯特拉特福的文法学校男孩在学术上打出了漂亮的一拳：一项开创性研究表明，莎士比亚确实有益于儿童的读写能力和情感发展。

A study found that a “rehearsal room” approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary and the complexity of their writing as well as their emotional literacy.

一项研究发现，用“排练室”方法教授莎士比亚，拓宽了孩子们的词汇量，提升了他们写作的复杂度以及情感素养。

“The research shows that the way actors work makes a big difference to the way children use language and also how they think about themselves,” Jacqui O’Hanlon of the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which commissioned the study, said.

委托开展这项研究的皇家莎士比亚剧团（RSC）的杰姬·奥汉隆说：“研究表明，演员的工作方式对孩子们使用语言的方式以及他们如何看待自己有很大影响。”

They also “appear to be more comfortable writing in role...while [control] pupils imagine how they themselves would react to being shipwrecked, [target] children put themselves in the shoes of a literary character and express that character’s emotion”.

他们也“似乎更善于以角色身份写作……[对照组]学生想象的是自己遭遇船难会作何反应，而[实验组]孩子则设身处地站在文学人物的角度，表达该人物的情感”。
