According to a Jenkins Group survey, 42% of college graduates will never read another book. Since most people read bestsellers printed in the past 10 years, it follows that virtually no one is reading the classics. Although it’s unfortunate that the intellectual heritage of humanity is being forgotten we can use this to our benefit. By reading the classics to improve your mind you can give yourself an advantage. These examples illustrate 10 ways reading the classics will help you succeed. 　　某天我发现了一些让人十分困惑的数据。根据Jenkins出版集团的调查，42%的人在大学毕业后再也没有读过书。由于现在大部分人都会选择近十年的畅销书进行阅读，越来越少的人会选择经典著作。不得不遗憾的说，我们人类智慧遗产正在逐渐被遗忘。读经典对你自己大有好处，可以帮助提升你的思想境界，下面就是读名著帮助你提升的10种方式。 　　1. Bigger Vocabulary 　　扩大词汇量 　　When reading the classics you’ll come across many words that are no longer commonly used. Why learn words most people don’t use? To set yourself apart. Having a bigger vocabulary is like having a tool box with more tools. A larger arsenal of words enables you to express yourself more eloquently. You’ll be able to communicate with precision and create a perception of higher intelligence that will give you an advantage in work and social situations. 　　读经典著作时常常会遇到现在不太常用的单词。为什么要学那些别人已经不用的词汇了呢?可以让你脱颖而出。词汇量大就像是你的工具箱里有了更多的工具，与此同时你还能更加准确的去表达自己。在工作和社交中，表达精确，谈吐智慧能给你大大加分。 　　2. Improved Writing Ability 　　提高写作能力 　　Reading the classics is the easiest way to improve your writing. While reading you unconsciously absorb the grammar and style of the author. Why not learn from the best? Great authors have a tendency to take over your mind. After reading, I’ve observed that my thoughts begin to mirror the writer’s style. This influence carries over to writing, helping form clear, rhythmic sentences. 　　阅读经典是提高写作水平最简单的方法。阅读的时候，你会不自觉的吸收作者的语法和风格。为什么不向最好的人学习呢?伟大的作家可以影响你。每次读完，我都觉得自己的想法开始模仿作者的写作风格，这种影响会让你写出优美韵律的句子。 　　3. Improved Speaking Ability 　　提高语言表达能力 　　Beco
