Knowledge and Power
Knowledge and power are the two things most desired by man. There is close connection between these two things. The man, having done his best in acquiring knowledge, will easily get a high position and perform it successfully.
Power depends on knowledge. Knowledge to power is just like a compass to a ship, by which her sailing is made safely across an unknown ocean. A great statesman or a learned scholar can render (give) his good services to his country just because he has perfect and profound knowledge.
Power only follows knowledge. A man cannot do anything well unless he has some information as how to do it well. A man will sometimes lose his way in a strange land; an apprentice cannot produce any delicate work. Why are these so? Because they are in want of knowledge. If the apprentice wishes to produce good work, he must pay attention to his instructor’s advice.
We are all the future masters of our country. Our country needs our services. How can we fulfill our future tasks? To get more knowledge is the only answer.

知识与权力
知识和权力是由人的两个最想要的东西。这两者之间有密切联系的东西。该名男子，他已经做了最好的获取知识，很容易获得较高的地位，它成功地执行。
功率取决于知识。知识权力，就像一个指南针，船舶，其中她的帆船是由在一个未知的海洋安全。一位伟大的政治家或一个博学多才的学者也呈现(给)他的良好的服务，只是因为他自己的国家拥有完善而深刻的认识。
功率只有如下的知识。一个人不能做任何事，除非他有一些如何把它做好信息。一个人有时会失去他在一个陌生的土地方式;学徒不能产生任何棘手的工作。为什么这些呢?因为他们非常想去的知识。如果学徒要产生良好的工作，他一定要注意他的导师的意见。
我们都是我们国家未来的主人翁。我们的国家需要我们的服务。我们怎样才能实现我们未来的任务?为了获得更多的知识是唯一的答案。
