　　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.

　　書本知識與實際經驗

　　獲得知識的來源有很多，其中包括書本、老師，以及實際經驗，而每一種都有其優點。從書本上及正規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。我們也可以培養分析的技巧，並學習如何以不同的方式去觀察並理解周圍的世界。此外，我們可以通過讀書，從歷史中獲取教訓。如此一來，就不會再重複別人的錯誤，並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。想要創新，只靠閱讀是不夠的，必須要去實踐。最後，我們可以將通過讀書所獲得的技巧和見解應用於實際經驗中，使得原本有意義的經驗變得更有意義。不過，除非我們能將書本知識運用於實際經驗中，否則書本知識終究仍只是理論，毫無用處。那就是為什麼我會認為從實際經驗中獲得的知識比從書本中所得到的知識更為重要。

　　The Effects of Technology on Learning

　　The technological advances of the last few years have been amazing. Never before have students had such a wide variety of resources to help them in their studies. Those who can take advantage of these resources have the opportunity to learn about more subjects and to acquire more in-depth knowledge. In my opinion, students can indeed learn more and learn more quickly with the help of modern technology.

　　The piece of technology most important as a learning tool must be the computer. Paired with the Internet, it allows students to research topics more quickly and thoroughly and to write up their findings more rapidly as well. Furthermore, advances in many fields are being made so fast these days that it is impossible four textbooks to keep up. Technology allows students to keep abreast of the latest developments. Also, it cannot be denied that many students enjoy using such resources in their studies. Because of this, they are more likely to pursue subjects in greater depth.

　　For all these reasons, I believe that technology is of great benefit to today's students. Of course, it is still possible to learn without the aid of such devices, but I believe that those students who are fortunate enough to have access to technological resources should take every advantage of them.

　　科技對學習的影響

　　近幾年來，科技方面的進步相當驚人。學生從來沒有過這麼多各種各樣的資源來幫助他們學習。能夠利用這些資源的人有機會學習更多的課題，並獲得更深入的知識。依我之見，有了現代科技的協助，學習確實能夠學得更多，而且學得更快。

　　科技上最重要的學習工具非電腦莫屬。電腦搭配網際網路的使用，使得學生能夠更快速、更徹底地研究他們的課題，也能更迅速地詳細寫出他們的發現。此外，目前許多領域都進步神速，教科書根本不可能跟得上，而科技讓學生能夠跟得上最新的發展。並且，不可否認的是，許多學生在學習時也非常喜歡使用這樣的資源。這樣，他們較有可能更深入地研究各種課題。

　　基於這些理由，我相信科技對現今的學生有極大的幫助。當然，沒有這些裝置的協助也是有可能學習的。但我認為，那些有幸能夠使用科技資源的學生都應該善於利用這些資源。

　　Illusions of Pastoral Peace 寧靜田園生活的遐想

　　The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me. City born and city bred, I have always regarded the country as something you look at through a train window, or something you occasionally visit during the weekend. Most of my friends live in the city, yet they always go into raptures at the mere mention of the country. Though theyextol the virtues of the peaceful life, only one of them has ever gone to live in the country and he was back in town within six months. Even he still lives under the illusion that country life is somehow superior to town life. He is forever talking about the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living.Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cock crow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures. This idyllic pastoral scene is only part of the picture. My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter evenings in front of the TV ---- virtually the only form of entertainment. He says nothing about the poor selection of goods in the shops, or about those unfortunate people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work. Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country is beyond me. They could be saved so much misery and expense if they chose to live in the city where they rightly belong.

　　If you can do without the few pastoral pleasures of the country, you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer. You never have to travel miles to see your friends. They invariably live nearby and are always available for an informal chat or an evening's entertainment. Some of my acquaintances in the country come up totown once or twice a year to visit the theatre as a special treat. For them this is a major operation which involves considerable planning. As the play draws to its close, they wonder whether they will ever catch that last train home.The city dweller never experiences anxieties of this sort. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away. Shopping, too, is always a pleasure. There is so much variety that you never have to make do with second best. Country people run wild when they go shopping in the city and stagger home loaded with as many of the exotic items as they can carry. Nor is the city without its moments of beauty. There is something comforting about the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the thousands that travel to work every day are tucked away in their homes in the country. It has always been a mystery to me why city dwellers, who appreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to live in the country.

　　寧靜的鄉村生活從來沒有吸引過我。我生在城市，長在城市，總認為鄉村是透過火車車窗看到的那個樣子，或偶爾週末去遊玩一下的景象。我的許多朋友都住在城市，但他們只要一提起鄉村，馬上就會變得欣喜若狂。儘管他們都交口稱讚寧靜的鄉村生活的種種優點，但其中只有一人真去農村住過，而且不足6個月就回來了。即使他也仍存有幻覺，好像鄉村生活就是比城市生活優越。他滔滔不絕地大談友好的農民，潔淨的空氣，貼近大自然的環境和悠閒的生活節奏。他堅持認為，凌晨雄雞第一聲啼叫，黎明時分小鳥吱喳歡叫，冉冉升起的朝陽染紅樹木、牧場，此番美景無與倫比。但這種田園詩般的鄉村風光僅僅是一個側面。我的朋友沒有提到在電視機前度過的漫長寂寞的冬夜——電視是唯一的娛樂形式。他也不說商店貨物品種單調，以及那些每天不得不從鄉下趕到城裡工作的不幸的人們。人們為什麼情願每天在路上奔波4個小時去換取值得懷疑的鄉間的優點，我是無法理解的。要是他們願意住在本來屬於他們的城市，則可以讓他們省去諸多不便與節約大量開支。

　　如果你願捨棄鄉下生活那一點點樂趣的話，那麼你會發現城市可以為你提供生活中最美好的東西。你去看朋友根本不用跋涉好幾英里，因為他們都住在附近，你隨時可以同他們聊天或在晚上一起娛樂。我在鄉村有一些熟人，他們每年進城來看一回或幾回戲，並把此看作一種特殊的享受。看戲在他們是件大事，需要精心計劃。當戲快演完時，他們又為是否能趕上末班火車回家而犯愁。這種焦慮，城裡人是從未體驗過的。坐公共汽車幾站路，就可看到最新的展覽、電影、戲劇。買東西也是一種樂趣。物品品種繁多，從來不必用二等品來湊合。鄉里人進城採購欣喜若狂，每次回家時都買足了外來商品，直到拿不動方才罷休，連走路都搖搖晃晃的。城市也並非沒有良辰美景。寒冷潮溼的冬夜裡，廣告燈箱發出的暖光，會給人某種安慰。週末，當成千上萬進城上班的人回到了他們的鄉間寓所之後，空曠的街市籠罩著一種寧靜的氣氛，沒有什麼能比此時的寧靜更令人難忘了。城裡人對這一切心裡很明白，卻偏要執拗地裝出他們喜歡住在鄉村的樣子，這對我來說一直是個謎。
