Whether we need a teacher or not depends on circumstances. The relationship between a teacher and a new subject is somewhat similar to that between a tour guide and an unknown city. When we come to an unknown city for the first time, we definitely need a tour guide. We might have a detailed map, but it is unlikely functionalit isnt surprised that we can hardly interpret those mysterious symbols. Likewise, when we are beginners, it is wise to learn with teachers. They can tell us where to begin with, what we should do, and which reference we should choose. When we confront difficulties, we can ask them for help, and their advices will always be tremendously helpful. With teachers assistance, we might learn easier, faster, and more interestingly. After a period of time, we have learned a lot. We now know the city pretty well, even though there are still many places we havent been to. It doesnt matter. Now that we are able to recognize those mysterious symbols on the map, what we need perhaps is not a tour guide but a more detailed map. Similarly, we need richer references for learning. Yes, there are still many fields unexplored; they are, nevertheless, no longer puzzling. The task is simple: we will explore them one by one, little by little. If we are working on a certain skill, practice more; if we are preparing a test, practice more; whatever we are learning, what is always to bear in mind is that, like people always say, practice makes perfect. After another period of time, we might have become others tour guide, but we still want to make out more. We want to know which restaurant is the most decent, which bookstore is the most professional, which coffee shop is the most classical. Even the most comprehensive map doesnt have adequate information. We again need experts. In learning, its much the same. We need experts to consult for specific problems. Furthermore, the most beneficial merit of consulting experts is that we can not merely refer to them but even discuss with them in depth. As is often the case, a solution for a complex matter is not waiting for us right there and then, sometimes it comes out of inspirations of discussion. In short, having a good teacher is always better than having none, but the importance of a teacher varies from period to period, and more often than not depends on different stage in which we are learning.
我们是否需要一个老师，或不依赖于环境。一个老师和一个新学科之间的关系有点类似于导游和一个陌生的城市之间的关系。当我们第一次来到一个陌生的城市，我们绝对需要一个导游。我们可能有一个详细的地图，但它是不可能的功能，这并不奇怪，我们很难解释这些神秘的符号。同样，当我们是初学者的时候，要与老师一起学习是明智的。他们可以告诉我们从哪里开始，我们应该做什么，我们应该选择哪一本。当我们面对困难时，我们可以向他们寻求帮助，他们的建议将永远是非常有用的。有了老师的帮助，我们可以更容易、更快、更有趣的学习。一段时间后，我们学到了很多。我们现在知道这个城市很好，尽管我们还没有去过很多地方。没关系。现在我们能够在地图上识别那些神秘的符号，我们需要的不是导游而是更详细的地图。同样，我们需要更丰富的学习参考。是的，还有很多未被开发的领域，它们是，尽管如此，不再令人费解。任务很简单：我们将逐一探索其中的一个。如果我们工作在一定的技能，实践更多；如果我们准备考试，实践越多；无论我们学习，什么是永远牢记在心的是，，像人们常说，实践使完善。过了一段时间，我们可能成为别人的导游，但我们还是想多出一些。我们想知道哪家餐厅是最体面的，哪家书店是最专业的，哪家咖啡店是最经典的。即使最全面的地图也没有足够的信息。我们又需要专家。在学习上，它是一样的。我们需要专家咨询具体问题。此外，咨询专家的最有益的优点是，我们不能仅仅是指他们，但更深入地讨论与他们。通常情况下，一个复杂问题的解决方案不是在那里等待我们，有时它来自于讨论的灵感。总之，有一个好的老师是总是比有没，但教师的重要性不同时期，和更经常比不取决于不同的阶段，我们都学习。
