一些摘录

And if I were asked, now that I am drawing to the close of this work, in which I have spoken of so many important things done by the Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply: To the superiority of their women.--Tocqueville

汉译：现在，在我即将写完这本讲了美国人做了那么多重大事情的书的时候，要是有人问我你以为这个国家的惊人繁荣和国力蒸蒸日上主要应当归功于什么，我将回答说：应当归功于它的妇女们优秀。
