Storytelling is an ancient art form that has been used to hand down legends, tales and factual stories. Perhaps the first thing that springs to mind when you think of storytelling is the fantasy land that took shape in your mind while Mom or Dad told you stories about princes, castles and monsters, with a unique voice for each character.

讲故事是一种古老的艺术形式，用于传承传说、故事和事实故事。也许当你想到讲故事时，首先想到的是当爸爸妈妈给你讲王子、城堡和怪物的故事时，你脑海中形成的幻想之地，每个角色都有独特的声音。

Storytelling does not just take place at bedtime or round a campfire, however. It can take some other forms, either via the books we read or the films we watch. But they usually have some elements in common: rather than a list of dry facts, stories have plots and they introduce characters. We respond to stories, particularly when there is emotional detail.

然而，讲故事不仅仅发生在睡前或篝火旁。它可以采取其它形式，无论是通过我们阅读的书籍还是观看的电影。但它们通常有一些共同点：故事有情节，介绍人物，而不是一系列枯燥的事实。我们对故事有反应，尤其是当有情感细节的时候。

And unlike what we suppose, storytelling is not just a form of entertainment, but a form of learning as well. Long before reading and writing became widely spread and available, oral storytelling had already been a form that the wisdom and knowledge of the people were passed down from elders to children. A good story engages our curiosity, emotions and imagination.

与我们想的不同，讲故事不仅是一种娱乐形式，也是一种学习形式。早在阅读和写作广泛传播和普及之前，口头讲故事就已经是一种将人们的智慧和知识从长辈传给孩子的形式。一个好故事会激发我们的好奇心、情感和想象力。

Storytelling helps with learning also because stories are easy to remember. Research has found that learning obtained from a well-told story is remembered more accurately, and for far longer, than from facts and figures.

讲故事也有助于学习，因为故事很容易记住。研究发现，从一个讲得好的故事中获得的学习比从事实和数字中获得的记忆更准确，而且记忆时间也更长。

And above all, stories have a transformative power to allow us to see the world in a different way than we do if we just encounter it on our own. Stories are an entry point to understanding a different experience of the world.

最重要的是，故事具有变革性的力量，让我们以一种不同于我们独自面对世界的方式看待世界。故事是理解世界不同体验的切入点。
