翻译练习：

过去的经历能成为我们宝贵的经验，无法从书本里学到的经验（可使用同位语从句）；或者有时候它们会成为梦魇，不断地出没于我们的记忆中。在过去和现在之间划清界限是不可能的，因为过去总有办法闯进现在，在你最不经意的时候跳出来。

参考答案：

Previous experiences can become invaluable lessons for us, lessons that cannot be learned from text books; or sometimes they may become nightmares and constantly haunt our memories. It is impossible to draw a line between the past and the present, since the past always has a way to intrude on the present, popping out when you least expect it.
