People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women have seldom an opportunity of concealing a big belly, or at least the consequences of it.

  • -- Bernard de Mandeville 曼德维尔

有钱财的人犯罪,却不显露自己的快乐;但是仆人和较穷的女人很少有机会隐藏自己的大肚子,或者至少隐藏大肚子带来的后果。
