Well hey there! I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!
大家好！我是Emma，欢迎来到Emma的美味英语！
Have your English teachers ever told you to read as much as you can in English?
你的英语老师有没有告诉过你要尽可能地多用英文阅读？
Have they told you that it's a great way to build your vocabulary?
他们有没有告诉过你这样能够有效积累词汇量？
And to see how words are used in context in English?
还能了解单词的使用语境？
Well, I absolutely agree!
我完全同意！
But what can you do to improve your reading skills in English so that you can become a better reader and actually start enjoying it?
但是该怎样做才能提升英语阅读技能，从而成为一名更优秀的读者，并且开始享受阅读的过程呢？
That is exactly what this lesson is all about!
这也是本节课我要讲的主题！
Now there are a ton of benefits to reading English texts.
阅读英文文本有非常多的好处。
You're going to build your vocabulary, right?
你可以增加词汇量，对吧？
As you learn new words.
你还可以学习新的单词。
But you'll be learning those words together in chunks, right?
但是你需要以词块的形式学习那些单词，对吗？
Together in sentences so that you can learn how to use them correctly and the words that they're often used with.
将单词放在句子中学习，这样你就能学习它们的正确使用方式，以及常用的单词搭配。
You'll also experience how words express tone and feeling through the interactions between characters.
你也将通过角色之间的互动，体验到词汇如何表达语调和情感。
So tone in writing is the author's attitude and this is an incredibly useful way to learn how to choose the right words to express feeling and emotion in English.
写作中的语调就是作者的态度，这对学习如何在英语中选择正确的单词来表达情感非常有用。
So my first question for you today is do you like reading English texts?
所以我今天想问大家的第一个问题就是：你们喜欢阅读英文文本吗？
If your answer's yes, what English text do you like to read?
如果你的答案是“是”的话，那你喜欢阅读什么英文文本呢？
Or even better, what English book are you reading right now?
或是更棒的是，你现在正在读什么英文书呢？
I'd love to see some recommendations in the comments so if you've got a good one, share it below!
我希望大家能在评论区留下你们的推荐，所以如果你们有读过哪本很棒的英文书，就在评论区分享一下吧！
But if your answer to this question is no, well why do you think that is?
但如果你对这个问题的答案是否的话，那就想一下其中的原因吧。
Maybe you don't really love reading even in your own native language.
或许你并不喜欢阅读，即使是用自己的母语进行阅读。
Well then, reading in English is probably going to be even more painful, right?
好的，那么用英语阅读可能会更加痛苦，是吧？
But maybe you prefer watching movies or listening to podcasts—something like that.
但是可能你更喜欢看电影或者是听播客——诸如此类。
Perhaps you get frustrated because you feel like reading's a chore.
也许你会感到沮丧，因为你会觉得阅读是件苦差事。
And you really need to improve your skills before you can start actually enjoying reading.
那你真的需要在真正地开始享受阅读之前提升一下自己的技能。
Fair enough!
非常公平！
Maybe you're an active person and you just don't like sitting still and reading a book, right?
也许你是一个非常多动的人，你只是不喜欢静静地坐着看书，对吧？
Well that's not really an excuse because Audible allows you to listen to books wherever you are.
好的，那并不是什么原因，因为Audible可以让你不管在哪里都可以听书。
I listen to my books now because I don't like to sit still either!
我会听书，因为我不喜欢静静地坐着！
So I listen when I go for a run.
我出去跑步的时候会听。
