2.others stress practical experience
3.which one is more important？ Give your reasons to illustrate your opinion.
Which is more important in life， knowledge from the books you read， or personal experience you gain in reality？ The answer may vary from person to person. The young， educated may emphasize the former， and the old may stress the later. But in my opinion， they are of the same importance.
在生活中更重要的是，从你读到的书中，或是你在现实中获得的个人经验，答案可能因人而异。年轻的，受过教育的人可能会强调前者，而老年人可能会强调后者。但在我看来，他们同样重要。
Experience is priceless. How to become an efficient secretary？ How to prepare for your first child to come into the world？ There is so much experience we need in careers， in life and even in academic studies. It helps one deal with the problems with ease and confidence. Especially activities and to accumulate experience of different kinds is more crucial.
经验是无价的。如何成为一名高效的秘书？如何为你的第一个孩子做准备，在事业上、生活上、甚至在学术上都需要我们的经验。它有助于一个处理的问题，缓解和信心。特别是活动和积累经验的不同种类更为关键。
Experience， however， is limited in terms of time and space. For one thing， it is impossible for anyone to experience all the important events and meet all the famous people. For another， as the speed with which skills are obsolete and new problems crop up is unprecedented because of the fast development of society， experience is far less adequate. Depending too much on it only leads to narrow-mindedness and prejudice.
然而，经验是有限的时间和空间的限制。一方面是不可能的，任何人都要经历所有的重要事件，并满足所有的名人。另一方面，由于社会的快速发展，技能是过时的和新的问题，是前所未有的，经验是远远不足够的`。过分依赖只能导致狭隘偏见。
One way to compensate for it is to read books. Books of various kinds can bring us almost unlimited additional experience. From books you can not only trace back to the wisdom of our antecedents， but keep up with the latest developments of science and technology. To be sure， it＇s secondhand experience. But it is the ideal supplement to our own limited experience. Few of us can travel around the world， or live long beyond one hundred years， but all of us can live many lives by reading books.
一种补偿的方法是阅读书籍。各种各样的书籍能给我们带来几乎无限的附加体验。从书本上你不仅可以追溯到我们祖先的智慧，但要跟上科学技术的最新发展。可以肯定的是，这是间接的经验。但它是我们自己有限的经验的理想补充。我们中很少有人能在世界各地旅行，或者生活在一百年的时间里，但我们所有人都可以通过读书来生活很多人。
Both book knowledge and personal experience are essential. While experience makes one more resourceful， book knowledge makes one more learned.
无论是书本知识和个人经验都是必不可少的。而经验使人更聪明，书本知识使人更博学。
