EN： In English-speaking literary culture, poetry readings and 'spoken word' events are highly popular. Reading poetry aloud is considered a distinct art form that emphasizes the rhythm, meter, and musicality of the language, rather than just silent comprehension.
中文： 在英語系國家的文學文化中，詩歌朗誦會與「口頭禪/口語詩」（spoken word）活動非常流行。大聲朗讀詩歌被視為一種獨特的藝術形式，它強調語言的節奏、格律與音樂性，而不僅僅是無聲的閱讀理解。
EN： The Present Perfect Tense (have/has + past participle) is used here to describe an action or state that started in the past and continues up to the present. In this sentence, 'have loved' indicates that the speaker's love for stories began in childhood and still remains true today.

EN： 'Since' is used as a conjunction to introduce a specific starting point in the past. It is commonly paired with the Present Perfect tense. The clause following 'since' usually uses the Simple Past tense (e.g., 'I was small') to mark the specific time when the action or state began.

EN： The Simple Past Tense is used to describe completed actions that occurred at a specific, definite time in the past.

Regular verbs form the past tense by adding '-ed' (e.g., 'study' becomes 'studied' after changing 'y' to 'i').
中文： 一般过去时（Simple Past Tense）用于描述在过去特定、明确的时间点已经完成的动作。通常会与表示过去的时间状语连用，例如「last week（上周）」、「yesterday（昨天）」或「in 2010（在2010年）」。规则动词的过去式是在词尾加「-ed」（例如「study」去 y 改 i 再加 ed 成为「studied」）。

EN： The word 'tale' often carries a connotation of an imaginative, traditional, or legendary story (like a fairy tale or folk tale), which is slightly more poetic or old-fashioned than the standard word 'story'. In academic or literary contexts, 'studying a tale' implies analyzing its themes and cultural significance rather than just reading it for leisure.
中文： 「tale」這個字通常帶有想像力、傳統或傳奇故事（如童話或民間傳說）的色彩，比一般的「story」更具文學感或古典氣息。在學術或文學背景下，「studying a tale（研讀一個故事）」意味著分析其主題和文化意義，而不僅僅是為了消遣而閱讀。

EN： The prepositional phrase 'for years' is used to express a duration of time, meaning 'for many years'. 'For' is followed by a period of time to show how long an action has been happening.
