　　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.

　　可以从许多来源获得知识。这些包括书籍、教师和实践经验,每个都有自己的优势。我们所获得的知识的书籍和正规教育使我们能够了解的东西在日常生活中我们没有机会体验。我们可以学习世界上所有的地方,从我们永远不会满足的人在我们的一生中,仅仅通过阅读有关书籍。我们还可以发展我们的分析技巧,学习如何查看和以不同的方式解释我们周围的世界。此外,我们可以通过读书,从历史中学习。通过这种方式,我们不会重复别人的错误,可以在他们的成就。

　　另一方面,实际经验能够给我们更多有用的知识。据说学习最好的做,我相信这是真的,无论成功与否。事实上,我认为犯错是最好的学习方式。此外,如果一个人想取得新进展,有必要采取行动。创新不来通过阅读但通过实验。最后,一个可以应用的技能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,除非我们能将书本知识运用于实际经验,书本知识是理论,最后,毫无用处。这就是为什么我认为从实际经验中获得的知识比从书本中所得到的知识更为重要。
