论实践 On Practice

As the saying goes, “practice makes perfect.” It applies to everything we do in life. Take for example the learning of a language. With practice, we can read, write, listen and speak English.

俗语说熟能生巧。这话适用于我们生活中所做的一切。比如学习语言，通过练习英语，我们学会读、写、听、说。
It is no easy thing to learn a Ianguage. First. I have to overcome the difficulties in pronunciation. I try hard to get every sound right, keep on doing the drills and memorize the new words. Then there are those grammar rules to remember and put to use. Also, to write I have to lead extensively and practise writing by keeping a diary or something.

学习语言决非易事，首先得克服发音上的困难。我努力发准每一个音，坚持练习记单词，记语法规则和运用语法。要学会写，我得博览群书、记日记或练习写作。
Those who praetise most learn fast. In my class, some of the American students seize time in practising the little Chinese they have learned. For example, when the class is noisy someone will shout, “安静(Be quiet)!” When the lecture is too long, someone will say, “够了(enough)” or asks the teacher in phony concern, “你不累吗? (Aren’t you tired?)” It is funny and they make surprisingly good progress in speaking Chinese.

练得多学得快。在我们班一些美国学生抓紧时间练习已学得的一点汉语。比如，上课吵闹时，便有人喊：“安静！”上课时间太长时，便有人叫：“够了！”或假惺惺地问老师：“你不累吗?”有趣的是，他们的汉话口语进步得很快。
Practice makes perfect. There is no truer word than that. When there is anything you cannot do, do net he afraid. Just try, try and try again, for practice makes perfect, but remember that we should practise what we preach.
“熟能生巧”，话再对不过了。不要怕不会做，只要坚持练习，练习，再练习，便能熟能生巧，但要记住，一定要说到做到。
