wise men learn by other men’s mistakes, fools by their own.

他山之石可以攻玉。

首先，我們學一個短語：learn sth. by sth. 從什么中學到什么

learn by other men’s mistakes 從別人的錯誤中學習。

值得注意的是，這是一個省略句，fools by their own, 省略的learn和mistakes, 應該是 fools learn by their own mistakes. 這樣的省略在前后結構相似的一句話中常出現(xiàn)。

wise men learn by other men’s mistakes, fools by their own.

聰明人從別人的錯誤中得到教訓， 笨人則自己付出代價，他山之石可以攻玉。
