巴尔扎克《邦斯舅舅》：
Poor sheep! you were made to be shorn.
可怜的绵羊，早晚得给人剪毛！
原文：
“Poor lamb!” Gaudissart muttered to himself as the German took his leave. “But, after all, one lives on mutton; and, as the sublime Beranger says, ‘Poor sheep! you were made to be shorn,’” and he hummed the political squib by way of giving vent to his feelings.
“可怜的绵羊！”高狄沙一边跟告退的德国人行礼，一边想。
“不过，话得说回来，人总是吃荤的。歌曲大家裴朗越说得好：
可怜的绵羊，早晚得给人剪毛！”
他哼着这两句，想排遣心里的感触。
