亨利·詹姆斯《华盛顿广场》：
In a country in which, to play a social part, you must either earn your income or make believe that you earn it.
在这个国家，一个人如果要在社会上发挥作用，就必须自食其力，或者至少使人相信他能自食其力。
原文：
This profession in America has constantly been held in honour, and more successfully than elsewhere has put forward a claim to the epithet of “liberal.” In a country in which, to play a social part, you must either earn your income or make believe that you earn it, the healing art has appeared in a high degree to combine two recognised sources of credit.
医生这种职业在美国始终是受人尊重的，并且比在其他地方更有理由被称为是一种开明的事业。在这个国家，一个人如果要在社会上发挥作用，就必须自食其力，或者至少使人相信他能自食其力。在这种情况下，人们公认有两个原因给医疗这门治病救人的艺术带来荣誉和名望。
