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.
获得知识的来源有很多。这些包括书籍，教师和实践经验，每个人都有自己的优点。知识从书本上及正规教育使我们知道在日常生活中没有机会经历的事情。我们可以研究世界各地的人学习我们不会在我们的有生之年遇见，只在书上读到的人。我们也可以培养分析的技巧，并学习如何看待和理解我们周围的世界以不同的方式。此外，我们可以从过去中学习，通过阅读书籍。这样，我们就不会再重复别人的错误，并且能够以他人的成就。
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.
实践经验，另一方面，可以给我们更多有用的知识。这是说从做中学的效果最好，我相信这是真的，无论一个人成功与否。事实上，我认为犯错是最好的学习方式。此外，如果想要有新的进展，这是必要的行动。创新不能只靠阅读是实验。最后，我们可以将所获得的技巧和见解通过书籍来实践经验的研究，使得原本有意义的经验变得更有意义。然而，除非它应用于实际经验，书本知识是理论和，最后，是无用的。那就是为什么我会认为从实际经验中获得的知识比从书本中学到的更重要。
