It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
【范文】 Book Knowledge vs Experience
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books.
【參考譯文】 書本知識與實際經驗
獲得知識的(de)來(lai)源有(you)(you)很多(duo)，其中(zhong)包括書本、老(lao)師，以及實際經驗(yan)(yan)，而每一種都(dou)有(you)(you)其優點。從(cong)書本上(shang)及正規(gui)教(jiao)育中(zhong)所(suo)獲得的(de)知識使我(wo)們知道在日(ri)常生活中(zhong)沒有(you)(you)機(ji)會親身去體驗(yan)(yan)的(de)事(shi)。通(tong)過(guo)讀書，我(wo)們可以研究世界各地的(de)資(zi)料，還可以向不曾謀面(mian)的(de)人(ren)學習。我(wo)們也可以培養分析(xi)的(de)技巧，并(bing)學習如何以不同(tong)的(de)方式去觀察并(bing)理解周(zhou)圍的(de)世界。此外(wai)，我(wo)們可以通(tong)過(guo)讀書，從(cong)歷史中(zhong)獲取教(jiao)訓。如此一來(lai)，就不會再重(zhong)復(fu)別人(ren)的(de)錯誤，并(bing)且(qie)能夠以他人(ren)的(de)成(cheng)就作(zuo)為(wei)我(wo)們行動的(de)基礎。
另一方面，實(shi)(shi)際經驗(yan)能(neng)夠給我(wo)們更多有用的(de)(de)(de)知(zhi)識。大家都說從(cong)做中(zhong)(zhong)學的(de)(de)(de)效果(guo)，我(wo)也認為的(de)(de)(de)確如(ru)此(ci)，無論(lun)一個人成功與否。事實(shi)(shi)上，我(wo)認為犯(fan)錯是的(de)(de)(de)學習方式。此(ci)外，如(ru)果(guo)想(xiang)要(yao)有新的(de)(de)(de)進展(zhan)，就(jiu)必須要(yao)付諸行(xing)動。想(xiang)要(yao)創新，只(zhi)靠(kao)閱讀是不(bu)夠的(de)(de)(de)，必須要(yao)去實(shi)(shi)踐。最后，我(wo)們可以將通過(guo)讀書所獲得的(de)(de)(de)技巧和見解應用于(yu)實(shi)(shi)際經驗(yan)中(zhong)(zhong)，使(shi)得原本(ben)有意義的(de)(de)(de)經驗(yan)變得更有意義。不(bu)過(guo)，除非我(wo)們能(neng)將書本(ben)知(zhi)識運用于(yu)實(shi)(shi)際經驗(yan)中(zhong)(zhong)，否則書本(ben)知(zhi)識終究仍(reng)只(zhi)是理(li)論(lun)，毫無用處。那(nei)就(jiu)是為什么(me)我(wo)會(hui)認為從(cong)實(shi)(shi)際經驗(yan)中(zhong)(zhong)獲得的(de)(de)(de)知(zhi)識比從(cong)書本(ben)中(zhong)(zhong)所得到(dao)的(de)(de)(de)知(zhi)識更為重要(yao)。
