4. Which is more important, book knowledge or experience?

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?

『分析』

注意一定要先進行比較

從書本中獲取的知識

優(yōu)點：

題材、范圍更多

有更多的深度

更加的系統(tǒng)

缺點：

有時過于教條

也不見得完全準確

從經(jīng)驗中獲取的知識

優(yōu)點：

獲取直接、簡單明了

更加地實用

有些知識無法從書本中獲得

缺點：

不系統(tǒng)，很大的隨意性

很容易產(chǎn)生片面理解

不一定要說A比B更重要，或者B比A更重要。也可以選擇在不同的情況下，有不同的比較。學習抽象的知識，書本是最好的來源。學習游泳，這只能靠經(jīng)驗。另外，大多數(shù)的知識要書本經(jīng)驗相結(jié)合才可以。

有些科目或者知識適合通過實踐學習，比如，語言，體育

有些科目或者知識適合通過閱讀學習，比如，物理、化學、歷史、地理

有些科目或者知識適合通過與別人交流來學習，比如銷售技巧；管理技巧

所以不能一概而論（treat different things/problems/matters as the same），要看學什么，以及學習的階段。

『范文』

In general, knowledge gained from books has a wider range than that gained from experience. We now live in a world that typophile is no longer exorbitant, and that printed matters are readily available. In libraries, we can learn nearly everything only if we have already acquired basic reading skills, philosophy, history, literature, physics, mathematics, chemicals, biology, geography, anthropology, and the list will go on. Unlike the experience of an individual that is limited by the range of that individual, books seem to have almost no limitation. Sitting in the local library, we virtually can travel everywhere through an interesting geographic encyclopedia, and certainly, with nearly no expense at all.

On the other hand, it can be argued that sometimes knowledge gained from experience is much deeper and more comprehensive than that gained from books. It is quite true that not every thing is contained in books. How to deal with personal finance, how to cope with current social trends, even how to most effectively organize our own mind, and numerous other things can seldom be found thoroughly and comprehensively discussed in books. We have to gain the knowledge by our own experience. And the sad news is that even some knowledge that is contained in books usually needs further comprehension, mainly through experience.

As to which source is more important, the answers vary. Some knowledge can be acquired only through books. It's hard to imagine we can have a good understanding of history without reading books. On the other hand, some knowledge can be obtained only through experience. When we try to learn to swim, merely a detailed manual of swimming skills, even abundantly filled with illustrations, is at most useless. We have to jump into the water and then gain the knowledge with experience. We have to use books and experience as source simultaneously to get what we want to know. Take learning physics for example, both books and experiences are equally important sources, and examples as such are numerous. Therefore, I think whether one source is more important than the other depends on circumstances.
