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.

圖書在我們的生活中發(fā)揮著重要作用。讀一本好書有助于我們學(xué)習(xí)和放松。如今，因?yàn)榭萍嫉倪M(jìn)步，我們閱讀的方式更多了。

有聲書就是其中之一。過去，我們逐字逐句地閱讀書籍。然而，有聲書讓我們有了一種新的“閱讀”方式：聽書。在有聲書的幫助下，我們可以隨時(shí)隨地進(jìn)行更多的閱讀。無論是乘公交車、做家務(wù)、遛狗或在家里休息，我們都可以聽書。

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，聽書能讓我們的眼睛得到休息。長時(shí)間看書對眼睛不好。有了有聲書，我們在聽故事的同時(shí)能讓眼睛得到放松。

同時(shí)，有聲書的音樂和音效讓故事更富有趣味性。更重要的是，有聲書對環(huán)境有利。有聲書的制作不需要紙張，不會(huì)導(dǎo)致樹木的砍伐。

有聲書在世界各地發(fā)展得很快。中國有聲書的市場規(guī)模正在大幅增加。你想嘗試這種“閱讀”方式嗎？
