Dear Safi88,

You are right, if we are going to translate evry word , we cann't finish our reading as well.

Hence, when you are intend to read a book you have to decide that, either you are read the whole of novel first or read your novel for increasing your vocabulary, using underline the new words.

Safi88,

If you are reading for your enjoyment you should continue through the whole book.

When you need to look up dictionary definitions, to follow the story, then you should, so as you can still enjoy your reading
