Women have often more of what is called good sense than men. They have fewer pretensions; are less implicated in theories, and judge of objects more from their immediate and involuntary impression on the mind, and, therefore, more truly and naturally. They cannot reason wrong, for they do not reason at all. They do not think or speak by rule, and they have in general more eloquence and wit as well as sense, on that account. By their wit, sense, and eloquence together, they generally contrive to govern their husbands. Their style, when they write to their friends, is better than that of most authors. Uneducated people have most exuberance of invention.

和男人相比，女人通常有更好的所谓直觉。她们很少自命不凡；她们也不大深究理论，她们判断事物更多地是从头脑中下意识的第一印象出发，因此她们的判断也就更真实和自然。她们不可能有推理错误，因为她们根本就不推理。她们思考或讲话时也不遵循什么规则；正因为如此，她们一般更善辩，更机智，直觉更好。集机智、善辩与出色的直觉于一身，她们通常都有办法支配自己的丈夫。

Shanghai in modern times was a metropolis crowded with foreign adventurers.// After the port city opened up, it witnessed a history of blood and tears filled with bitterness, inequality, filth and mire, well-known as the “Parasise of Adventuers” for its rampant opiums, harlots and gamesters, which induced people to indulge in luxury and even degeneracy. //There was, however, another facet to modern Shanghai noted for its vigor, intelligence, creations and enterprise with a spirit ready for running risks, which formed an awareness of its own and the mechanism of competition. //The city, with this awareness or style, inspired its people to keep up with the times and make progress.
