《汉书·传·酷吏传》
田广明大夫指使人对田延年说了上述情况，田延年说： 幸亏县宫出来为我开脱，我有什么脸面进入牢狱，而让众人指着耻笑我，牢卒在我的背后唾水！ 
田大夫使人语延年，延年曰： 幸县官宽我耳，何面目入牢狱，使众人指笑我，卒徒唾吾背乎！ 
Master Tian Guangming instructed someone to tell Tian Yannian the above situation. Tian Yannian said: Fortunately, the county palace came out to clear me up. How could I have the face to go to jail and let everyone point and laugh at me, and let the jailers spit on my back!
