'Emoji won't replace traditional languages but it will increasingly be used to enhance them.

“表情符号不会替代传统的语言，但是表情符号的广泛使用会增强传统语言效果。”

'I think it's conceivable that emoji will increasingly be used to complement digital versions of written works.

“我认为表情符号将越来越多地被用于文学作品数字版的补充。”

'For instance, the inclusion of emoji to help convey meaning in abridged versions of Shakespeare could help bring those great stories to life for a whole new generation.'

“例如，在莎士比亚著作删节版中加入表情符号来表达含义，可以使这些著作更加贴近生活，有利于新一代对名著的理解。”

Instagram recently similarly studied the use of the symbols on its app to try to establish the context of many popular, and more obscure, emoji.

近期，Instagram也研究了表情符号在其应用程序中的使用情况，试图创造一些更流行、更高明的表情符号的文本编写模式。

It discovered emoji often have a shared meaning regardless of where in the world you are, and in some cases, are replacing internet slang completely.

研究发现，不论你身在何处，表情符号通常都可以实现意义共享。在某些情况下，可以完全替代网络俚语。

According to Instagram, almost 40 per cent of text comments on the app now contain emoji.
