Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy.

  • -- Aristotle 亚里士多德

嫉妒既是合理的,也是属于理性的人;嫉妒是卑贱的,也是属于卑贱的,因为嫉妒可以使人得到好处,嫉妒却不能使人得到好处。
