Listening to Books一起来听有声书

Books play an important role in our lives. Reading a good book helps us to learn and relax. Today， thanks to technology， we have more ways to read.

Audiobooks are one of them. Traditionally， we read books word by word. Audiobooks， however， give us a new way to “read”： we listen to books. With the help of audiobooks， we can “read” more， anytime and anywhere. We can listen to a book when we are on the bus， doing housework， walking the dog， or just relaxing at home.

圖书在我们的生活中发挥着重要作用。读一本好书有助于我们学习和放松。如今，因为科技的进步，我们阅读的方式更多了。

有声书就是其中之一。过去，我们逐字逐句地阅读书籍。然而，有声书让我们有了一种新的“阅读”方式：听书。在有声书的帮助下，我们可以随时随地进行更多的阅读。无论是乘公交车、做家务、遛狗或在家里休息，我们都可以听书。

Also， listening to audiobooks is a great way to give our eyes a rest. Looking at  books for a long time is bad for our eyes. Thanks to audiobooks， we are still able to enjoy the stories but won’t stress our eyes out.

At the same time， the music and sound of audiobooks make the stories more enjoyable. What’s more， audiobooks are good for the environment. They don’t need paper， that is， there is no cutting of trees.

The audiobook is growing up fast around the world. China is seeing great growth in the size of the audiobook market. Do you want to try this kind of “reading”？

此外，听书能让我们的眼睛得到休息。长时间看书对眼睛不好。有了有声书，我们在听故事的同时能让眼睛得到放松。

同时，有声书的音乐和音效让故事更富有趣味性。更重要的是，有声书对环境有利。有声书的制作不需要纸张，不会导致树木的砍伐。

有声书在世界各地发展得很快。中国有声书的市场规模正在大幅增加。你想尝试这种“阅读”方式吗？
