==Original Abstract Submitted==

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes, a first string in which a first selection transistor, a first memory cell, and a second selection transistor are coupled in series, a second string in which a third selection transistor, a second memory cell, and a fourth selection transistor are coupled in series, a word line, a first selection gate line, a second selection gate line, a third selection gate line, a fourth selection gate line, a first bit line, and a second bit line. In a read operation of the first memory cell, when a voltage of the word line is raised to a first voltage, a second voltage is applied to the first bit line and a third voltage higher than the second voltage is applied to the second bit line.
