Benefits of reading

阅读的好处

Vocabulary Expansion

扩大词汇量

This goes with the above topic: the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll inevitably make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being articulate and well-spoken is of great help in any profession, and knowing that you can speak to higher-ups with self-confidence can be an enormous boost to your self-esteem. It could even aid in your career, as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events.

这和上面的话题其实差不多：你读的越多，获得的词汇就越多，这样就不可避免的会增加你的日常词汇量。语言表达流利对任何职业都大有好处，有自信的与上级交流可是对自尊的大大增加，甚至对职业都是个帮助。相比词汇量小、文学素养匮乏、科技知识小白、不关心国家大事的人而言，那些读书多、口才好、博学的人似乎升职更快（更频繁）哦。

Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will ameliorate their own speaking and writing fluency.

学习新语言，阅读也是个不可或缺的。这样非母语的学生才能了解语境中单词的使用，促使自己在口语和写作中更加自然流畅。
