在英语中，可以用 "Memory is not a substitute for experience" 来表示回忆不可取代经验的意思。这句话的来源可能是来自英文名言 "Experience is the best teacher"，意思是经验是最好的教师。这句话的意思是，经历过的事情才是真正有价值的，回忆本身并不能代替经历过的事情。

下面是一些英文例句及其中文翻译：

"I may have read about it in a book, but actually seeing it in person is a completely different experience. Memory is not a substitute for experience."

（我可能已经在书本上读过了，但亲眼看到的感觉是完全不同的。回忆不可取代经验。）

"Hearing about someone's travels is one thing, but actually going there and experiencing it yourself is another. Memory is not a substitute for experience."

（听别人讲述他们的旅行是一回事，但亲身去那里并亲身体验是另一回事。回忆不可取代经验。）

"I may have seen pictures of the Grand Canyon, but seeing it in person is a completely different experience. Memory is not a substitute for experience."

（我可能已经看过大峡谷的照片，但亲眼看到它是完全不同的体验。回忆不可取代经验。）
