參考譯文：

書本知識與實際經(jīng)驗

獲得知識的來源有很多，其中包括書本、老師，以及實際經(jīng)驗，而每一種都有其優(yōu)點。

從書本上及正規(guī)教育中所獲得的知識使我們知道在日常生活中沒有機會親身去體驗的事。通

過讀書，我們可以研究世界各地的資料，還可以向不曾謀面的人學習。我們也可以培養(yǎng)分析

的技巧，并學習如何以不同的方式去觀察并理解周圍的世界。此外，我們可以通過讀書，從

歷史中獲取教訓。如此一來，就不會再重復別人的錯誤，并且能夠以他人的成就作為我們行

動的基礎。

另一方面，實際經(jīng)驗能夠給我們更多有用的知識。大家都說從做中學的效果最好，我也

認為的確如此，無論一個人成功與否。事實上，我認為犯錯是最好的學習方式。此外，如果

想要有新的進展，就必須要付諸行動。想要創(chuàng)新，只靠閱讀是不夠的，必須要去實踐。最后，

我們可以將通過讀書所獲得的技巧和見解應用于實際經(jīng)驗中，使得原本有意義的經(jīng)驗變得更

有意義。不過，除非我們能將書本知識運用于實際經(jīng)驗中，否則書本知識終究仍只是理論，

毫無用處。那就是為什么我會認為從實際經(jīng)驗中獲得的知識比從書本中所得到的知識更為重

要。
