《增广贤文·下集》
生了男孩都想望子成龙，总怕长大后成为善于隐匿的禽兽；生了女孩都想望女成凤，总怕长大后成为如虎一般的女子。
生男欲得成龙犹恐成獐，生女欲得成凤犹恐成虎。
Parents of boys all want them to grow up to be dragons, but they are always afraid that they will grow up to be like hidden beasts; parents of girls all want them to grow up to be phoenixes, but they are always afraid that they will grow up to be like tigers.
