Hey what"s up, Stefanie the English coach here from EnglishFullTime. com. Recently I got a message on Instagram from a woman who is saying she is really frustrated, because she can"t seem to build her vocabulary.
嗨，大家好，我是EnglishFullTime.com的Stefanie。最近我在Instragram上收到一位女性朋友的消息，她很失望，因为觉得自己根本记不住单词。
And in her native language she loves having deep conversations about all kind of things, her ideas, her beliefs, psychology, etc. But in English she feels like she can"t even have this conversations, because again she just doesn"t have the words.
用母语说话的时候，她很喜欢一些深入的交流，比如她的想法，她的信仰，心理学等等。但是在英语中她就根本没法聊这些东西，因为她单词量不行。
So in this video, I"m going to give you guys one of the most powerful ways to build your vocabulary. Now what am I talking about?
这期视频，我就会教给大家一些增加词汇量的好方法。我说的是什么呢？
I"m talking about reading. It has been proven that people who read more tend to have bigger vocabularies than people who don"t read.
就是阅读。事实证明，大量阅读的人要比不阅读的人有更大词汇量。
And the more you read, the bigger your vocabulary. So this makes a lot of sense.
你读的越多，你的词汇量越大。这个确实很有道理。
When you are reading something, there are so many words right there and you are consuming all of them. And if you don"t understand what something means, you look it up in the dictionary, so that you can understand the idea of whatever it is you are reading.
你在读书过程中，会消化非常多单词。如果你碰到不懂的单词，你就需要查阅词典，然后就了解到读的什么意思。
And then the more you read the more, you encounter the same words over and over and over again until those words get stored in your long term memory. Remember, the first time that you see a word or the second, the third, even the tenth time the word doesn"t necessarily make it"s way to your long term memory.
你读的越多，你就会一遍一遍遇到同样的单词，直到它储存在你的长期记忆里。要记住，你第一次遇到，第二次，第三次乃至第十次遇到这些单词，都不一定就能完全记住。
You have to see something and be exposed to it time and time again for you to be able to access that information just like that, OK? So the more you read, the more words you will add to your vocabulary.
你需要一遍一遍地遇到它，这样才能记住它传达的信息。你读的越多，词汇量就会越大。
Also another thing for you to think about is when writers are writing, the only thing that they have to communicate their ideas is words on a paper. They can"t use their tone, they can"t use the volume of their voice, they can"t use body language, so they are limited. They are highly limited to that to just the words on a piece of paper.
还有另外一件事你要记住，那就是，作家在进行写作的时候，他们能够表达自己思想的手段只有纸上的文字。他们不能用声调、音量、肢体语言来表达，只能被限制在纸面上。
So they have to be very precise with their language. Every sentence is measured.
他们需要仔细斟酌自己的语言。每个句子都是精雕细琢。
They can"t have unnecessary words there. They can"t have any words that are gonna confuse the reader.
文章里不能出现废话。不能出现可能让读者迷惑的话。
The words have to be precise, so that they say exactly what they wanna say and how they wanna say it. The sentences have to be precise so that it builds the correct argument or expresses the idea accurately.
每个句子都必须非常准确，作者需要精准的表达自己想要表达的意思。这样才能准确传达作者的论点或者表明作者的想法。
Everything has to be logical about what they do, and the more you consume this type of language professional writing written either in books, novels, magazines, etc, the more you are going to subconsciously incorporate that into your own language skills. So again, reading is one of the most powerful ways to build your vocabulary.
作者写的内容需要合乎逻辑，所以说这种专业文字读的越多，无论是书籍、小说、杂志，你就会在潜意识里学到这种语言技巧。所以说，阅读是扩大词汇量的最好方式。
Now I have more that I wanna say about this, but before I do I just wanna introduce you guys to the sponsor of this video. I"m really excited to share this with you, because they can really help you improve your vocabulary through reading books that you enjoy.
我还想聊一些其他的内容，但是在此之前我先介绍一下这个视频的赞助商。很想跟你们分享它，因为这个应用真的能帮助你通过阅读提高词汇量。

Another reason why I like Blinkist so much is because it"s just so convenient. I wish I had more time to read but honestly I don"t.
我分享Blinkist的另外一个原因就在于，它真的很方便。我希望自己能有更多时间来阅读，但是说实话，真的没时间。
At the same time, though I"m trying to learn as much as possible because I believe that the more I learn the more successful I can be in the things that I do. So again you can get a free book every day with this app and you can just study that free book read it, listen to it, highlight the new words.
同时，我也觉得我读的越多，我也就会在自己的事业上越成功。那么这款App能够让你每天免费读一本书，你就可以读书、听书，然后标记新的单词。
Write them down, start learning them, and again, the more you read the more vocabulary you are gonna incorporate. Or you can get their premium version and just have unlimited access, that"s awesome because when I go for a walk I can listen to 4 different books and I learn so much through doing this.
把它们写下来，开始学这些单词，你读的越多，词汇量也就越大。或者是直接买会员，就可以无限制读书，这个真的非常棒，因为我出去散步的时候就可以一下听四本书，学到了很多东西。
I really love this app you guys and I would not share it with you if I didn"t. And with that said, I just want to let you know that I have a big list of book recommendations from their app that I have already listen to and loved, but a few of them are Storyworthy which is about telling stories.
我真的非常喜欢这个app，所以才分享给大家。说到这，我还想分享给你在这app上非常值得读的书，我已经都听过了，比如说Stroryworthy，这是一本关于讲故事的书。
The Art Of Public Speaking I think everyone should read that one. Never Split the Difference which is about negotiations.
还有The Art Of Public Speaking，我觉得大家都应该读一下这本书。Never Split the Difference，这本书关于谈判。
Essentialism which is about time managing, really great book. And then of course the book that I always recommend to everyone How to Win Friends & Influence people that is a must read.
Essentialism有关时间管理。还有一本书我觉得所有人也应该去读，那就是 How to Win Friends & Influence people。
So now lets talk a little about fiction versus non fiction. It"s been proven that people who read more fiction tend to have a bigger vocabulary than just people who read non fiction.
接下来我们再聊一下关于小说和非小说类文学作品。事实证明，读小说的人词汇量要大于读非小说的人。
Now why is this? Because in fiction books, the author is much more descriptive.
为什么呢？因为在小说里面，作者会更喜欢描述东西。
They are describing scenes, they are describing events, they are describing dialog, it"s a story. So because of that fiction, in general has a much wider variety of words than non fiction.
他们会描述场景、事件、对话，讲述一个故事。因为是小说，所以用词要比非小说更为宽泛。
With that said, though if you are struggling to have conversations in English, I highly recommend that you start by reading lots of non fiction. Because in fiction, authors are sometimes so descriptive that sentences sound long and poetic, and the words that are used aren"t always the words that people use in everyday life.
不过如果你一时读不懂英文对话的话，我还是建议你先读非小说内容。因为小说里面，作者有时候会太喜欢描述了，所以句子会变得非常长，非常富有诗意，而这种表达方式并不是人们常用的。
And if you don"t know that and you start incorporating all of that into your speech you might sound a little bit awkward. So I recommend that you start with non fiction, read lots of non fiction about all the things you already know and enjoy and use in your native language.
如果你不知道这点的话，很有可能就会把很多这种单词放到自己说的话里面，听起来会怪怪的。所以我还是推荐你从非小说开始，多读那些你自己用母语已经非常了解的内容。
And then you can tell other people about what you"ve read. You can even start a book club if you want or talk to a friend talk to someone else who enjoys the same topics as you, and say "hey, recently I read this book about XYZ," whatever it is and tell them what you"ve learned.
然后再转述给别人你读过的内容。甚至可以组建一个读书俱乐部，跟朋友们聊一下你读的内容，告诉他们，“嘿，我今天读了这本书……”然后告诉他们你学到的东西。
Telling other people what you learned is one of the best ways to incorporate knowledge into you long term memory. If you just read it and consume it, that"s not as powerful as reading it, consuming it and then telling someone else about it or sharing it with someone else, OK?
给别人讲述你学到的东西是一种把知识转化成长期记忆的最好办法。如果你只是读了记住了，就不如你读了，记住了，然后告诉别人你学的内容。
Remember that. So when I read books I actually tell my husband Renzo, I say, "OK, I read a book today."
要记住这点。我读完一本书我就会跟我丈夫Renzo说，“我今天读了一本书。”
"This is what I learned." And I tell him the points that I thought were really interesting to me, because I know that by telling him and communicating them I"m going over them again in my mind.
“这是我读到的内容。”然后我就会跟他分享我觉得很有意思的内容，因为我知道通过这种方式我能够再过一遍这些东西。
And I"m more likely to remember them and I don"t want to forget the stuff that I read, because a lot of it is really really powerful so sometimes I even read the same book more than once. Actually I do that now that I have the Blinkist app because before this I literally did not have time.
我想要记住我了解的东西，因为有很多内容确实很棒，有时候我甚至会一本书读好几遍。现在我有了Blinkist，以前是真的没什么时间。
And the idea of reading one book, I"m also kind of a slow reader. I just would avoid it completely but now that I know hey in 15 minutes I can have a book read.
而且读书方面，我真的读的很慢。以前我是干脆就不读了，但是现在，我15分钟就可以读一本书了。
I listen to books all the time which is good because I really am learning a lot. So it"s awesome.
我总是会没事儿就听一下，因为确实了解到很多东西。真的很棒。
OK, so that pretty much covers everything that I wanted to talk about but now I wanna hear from you. If you have any other ideas about why reading specifically is so powerful for building vocabulary anything aside from what I"ve already mentioned, please share it with us in the comments.
好了，我要讲的基本都讲完了，现在我想听听你们的意见。如果你有关于“读书会提高词汇量”这个话题的任何想法，我没提到的，欢迎在评论中分享你的观点。
I"m sure there are other studies that have been done that I don"t know about that explain in even more detail why reading is so powerful for building vocabulary. But yes lets discuss it in the comments, and if you want more help with your English or if you want to learn about my online courses go to EnglishFullTime. com.
