听君一席话，胜读十年书

听君一席话，胜读十年书

Literally means:

your remarks are more enlightening than what I have read in the past ten ears

Actually means:

be inspired; be enlightened

It means that I have learned more from what you said just now than from the books I have read in a lot from those words. It often indicates being greatly enlightened by the other one's remarks and having understood a great deal. It connotes gratitude to the other person. Commendatory.

听你说话，比读了十年书还强。形容听了别人话受益很大。多用来指从对方的话里得到很大的启发，明白了很多道理。含有感谢对方的意味具有褒义色彩。
