O, that estates, degrees, and offices Were not derived corruptly, and that clear honour Were purchased by the merit of the wearer!

O, that estates, degrees, and offices Were not derived corruptly, and that clear honour Were purchased by the merit of the wearer!

啊，但愿财产、学位和官职不是从腐败中得来的，而明确的荣誉是由佩戴者的功绩所买来的!

-- William Shakespeare 威廉·莎士比亚
