读报纸用英语可以说 "read the newspaper"。这种用法来源于英语中表示阅读的动词 "read" 和报纸这种物品的名词 "newspaper" 的结合。例如：

I read the newspaper every morning before I go to work. (我每天上班前都会读报纸。)

She likes to read the newspaper on the train to work. (她喜欢在坐火车上工作时读报纸。)

在口语中，人们也可能会用缩写的形式 "read the paper" 来表达这个意思。例如：

Do you read the paper every day? (你每天都读报纸吗？)

I don't have time to read the paper in the morning. (我没有时间早上读报纸。)
