专四范文：
Learning from Mistakes
从错误中吸取教训
We all make mistakes which are inevitable. What is worse is failure to correct own mistakes. While making mistakes is good, repeating mistakes is definitely not. Apart from correcting your own mistakes, we should learn from the mistakes.
每个人都会犯错误。更糟糕的是，我们不能改正自己的错误。尽管犯错误可能是好事，总是犯同样的错误绝不是什么好事。除了改正我们自己的错误，我们应当从错误中吸取教训。
You can only learn from a mistake after you admit you have made one. As soon as you start blaming other people, you distance yourself from any possible lesson that could be learned from it. But if you courageously stand up and honestly say "This is my mistake and I am responsible", the possibilities for learning will move towards you. Admission of a mistake, even if only privately to yourself, makes learning possible by moving the focus away from blaming yourself and towards understanding. Wise people admit their mistakes easily. They know progress accelerates when they do. On the other hand, for many reasons admitting mistakes is difficult. This is why some people consider that they can learn nothing from mistakes, We are taught in school, in our families, or at work to feel guilty about failure and to do whatever we can to avoid mistakes. This sense of shame combined with the inevitability of setbacks when attempting difficult things explains why many people give up on heir goals: they are not prepared for the mistakes and failures they will face on their way to what they want.
只有在承认自己所犯的错误之后，你才能从错误中吸取教训。一旦你开始责怪其他人，你就失去了从错误中吸取教训的机会。但是如果你有勇气站出来诚实地说，‘这是我的错，我应当负责’，你就有可能从错误中积累经验。承认错误，即使只是自己在私下承认错误，也会让你逐渐懂得自我反省，能够从错误中领悟知识，吸取教训。聪明的人很容易承认他们的错误。他们知道承认错误会帮助自己进步。另一方面，出于种种原因，承认错误是困难的。这就是一些人认为他们在错误中学不到任何东西的原因。我们在学校、家庭和工作中懂得了失败的愧疚感，于是就会尽力避免犯错。在我们尝试困难的事情的时候，愧疚感以及无法避免的挫折，足以解释许多人放弃目标的原因。他们没有准备好面对成功之路上的错误和失败。
In conclusion, we can and should learn good lessons from past mistakes in order to be more successful in our private and public lives. (251 words)
总之，为了我们在个人生活和公共生活方面更加成功，我们不但能够而且应该从过去的错误中吸取经验。（251字）
