So today, I'm going to talk to you about reading.

所以，今天我要和你們談談閱讀。

For some people, this is a great topic, and for other people, this might be a boring topic.

對有些人來說，這是一個很好的話題，而對其他人來說，這可能是一個無聊的話題。

I really like reading, so this is a topic that I like talking about.

我非常喜歡閱讀，所以這也是我喜歡談論的話題。

So first, let's talk about the different genres of books.

首先，讓我們來談談不同類型的書籍。

First, we have a difference between fiction and non-fiction.

首先，我們要區分虛構和非虛構。

I'm more of a fiction reader, but I occasionally read some non-fiction books too.

我更喜歡讀小說，但偶爾也會讀一些非小說類書籍。

In this category, some of the genres include self-help books, biographies, political books, and many books about specific fields of study.

在這一類別中，一些體裁包括自助書籍、傳記、政治書籍以及許多關於特定研究領域的書籍。

I think that nowadays, many adults are starting to read more non-fiction than fiction.

我認為，如今許多成年人開始更多地閱讀非小說，而不是小說。

When I ask my students what type of books they read, they usually tell me that they read books about their line of work.

當我問我的學生他們讀什麼類型的書時，他們通常會告訴我，他們讀與自己工作相關的書。

Reading is a great way to improve your knowledge in your field of work.

閱讀是提高工作領域知識水準的好方法。

Also, I know a lot of people that love reading self-help books because they want to improve their lives.

此外，我知道很多人喜歡閱讀自助書籍，因為他們想改善自己的生活。

Okay, so moving on to fiction, there are many different genres.

好了，說到小說，有很多不同的類型。

I'd say that my favorite author in this genre is Agatha Christie.

在這一體裁中，我最喜歡的作家是阿加莎-克里斯蒂。

In case you haven't heard of her, she's actually the best-selling novelist of all time.

如果你沒聽說過她，她其實是有史以來最暢銷的小說家。

More people have bought her novels than any other author's novels.

買她小說的人比買其他作家小說的人都多。

The reason why I like Agatha Christie's books is that she's really good at keeping the answer to the mystery a secret.

我之所以喜歡阿加莎-克里斯蒂的書，是因為她非常善於將謎底保密。

You have no idea what is going to happen at the end of the book, so it's always very satisfying for the reader.

你根本不知道書的結尾會發生什麼，所以讀者總是非常滿意。

I also really like literary fiction, which is the fiction that many students have to read during high school.

我還非常喜歡文學小說，這是很多學生在高中階段必須閱讀的小說。

Usually in high school, students don't like reading these books, but I always liked them.

通常在高中，學生們不喜歡讀這些書，但我一直很喜歡。

They're a little deeper and more complicated, but I also find them satisfying.

它們有點深奧和複雜，但我也覺得它們很令人滿意。

I really enjoy reading the great American authors of the past, such as Ernest Hemingway,

我非常喜歡閱讀過去偉大的美國作家的作品，比如海明威、

John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, and others like that.

約翰-斯坦貝克、威廉-福克納等人都是如此。

Ernest Hemingway, in particular, is one of my favorite authors.

尤其是海明威，他是我最喜歡的作家之一。

Another genre that I'm interested in is the Western genre.

我感興趣的另一種類型是西部片。

I've always loved stories about the Wild West of the late 1800s to early 1900s in the U.S., and I also like more modern Westerns.

我一直很喜歡 19 世紀末到 20 世紀初美國西部荒野的故事，我也喜歡更現代的西部片。

Some of my favorite authors of this genre include Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, and Cormac McCarthy.

我最喜歡的這類作家包括贊恩-格雷（Zane Grey）、路易斯-拉莫爾（Louis L'Amour）和科馬克-麥卡錫（Cormac McCarthy）。

I think that not many people like Westerns, but for me, they're super fun.

我覺得喜歡西部片的人不多，但對我來說，西部片超級有趣。

I know that many people prefer fantasy books, like Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, but I don't really like them.

我知道很多人喜歡奇幻類書籍，比如《哈利-波特》和《權力的遊戲》，但我並不太喜歡。

Okay, now let's talk about how you can read to learn a language.

好了，現在我們來談談如何通過閱讀來學習語言。

This is a great way to improve your English.

Get yourself some interesting books in English.

In my opinion, reading in your target language is the best method for learning that language.

我認為，閱讀目標語言是學習該語言的最佳方法。

However, it's important that you choose reading material that you can understand at your level.

不過，重要的是，你要選擇自己能夠理解的讀物。

If you're a beginner, don't try to read advanced-level books.

如果您是初學者，不要嘗試閱讀高級書籍。

For example, I'm learning French, so I try to read a little bit in French every day.

例如，我正在學習法語，所以我每天都會試著讀一點法語書。

I just started a novel that's fairly easy, but also really interesting for me.

我剛剛開始寫一本小說，它相當簡單，但對我來說也非常有趣。

So I learn and have fun at the same time.

是以，我在學習的同時也享受到了樂趣。
