| 解 釋 | Explanation
不親身經歷就不能增長一些見識，是說經驗能使人增長智識。《紅樓夢．第六○回》：「小蹄子，你走罷。俗語道：『不經一事，不長一智。』我如今知道了，你又該來質問著我。」《官場現形記．第三五回》：「但不經一事，不長一智。這已是過去的事情，也不用談他了。」也作「不因一事，不長一智」。 |
| 英文解釋 | You will learn more from things that happen to you in real life than you will from hearing about or studying things that happen to other people. |
| 英文造句 | A few years ago, I couldn’t even get behind the wheel without having panic attacks, but, with practice, I’m much calmer and can drive with no problems. Experience is the best teacher after all. |
