There is a famous saying goes like that “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” This saying shows the relationship between knowledge and practice vividly.
As far as we know, if we don’t have corresponding knowledge of some fields, we cannot do well in the fields. There are innumerable examples to illustrate this point. For instance, a singer can sing well only if he or she possesses musical knowledge; a dancer can dance well only if he or she knows how to dance; a worker can get the job well-done only if he or she is familiar with the basic principles of the job, and so on. But in turn, if we do not apply what we have known to practice, knowledge cannot play its role. For example, if we have learned different methods of cooking vegetables, but we do not cook, then the different methods of cooking vegetables do not produce value for us.
Therefore, if we do not have knowledge, we have nothing to practice, but if we have knowledge without putting it into practice, knowledge is of no avail. So we should acquire as much knowledge and put it into practice.
參考譯文：
有一個著名的諺語所說那樣“知識是一座寶庫,而實踐是開啟寶庫的鑰匙。“這說生動地展示了知識與實踐之間的關係。
據我們所知,如果我們沒有相應的某些領域的知識,我們不能做得很好。有無數的例子來說明這一點。例如,一個歌手能唱好只有他或她擁有音樂知識,一個舞者可以跳舞也只有他或她知道如何跳舞,一個工人可以把工作幹得好的只有他或她熟悉工作的基本原則,等等。但反過來,如果我們不把我們已經知道運用到實踐中去,知識不能發揮它的作用。例如,如果我們學會了不同的方法烹飪蔬菜,但我們不做飯,然後烹飪蔬菜的`不同的方法不能產生價值。
因此,如果我們沒有知識,我們沒有什麼可以實踐,但是如果我們沒有把它付諸實踐的知識,知識是不起作用的。所以我們應該獲得儘可能多的知識並把它付諸實踐。
