《史记·三十世家·外戚世家》
书传上面说： 女子不论美丑，一进家室就会被人嫉妒；士人不论贤与不贤，一入朝廷就会被人嫉妒。 
传曰： 女无美恶，入室见妒；士无贤不肖，入朝见嫉。 
The books and records say: No matter how beautiful or ugly a woman is, she will be envied by others when she enters a family; No matter how virtuous or wicked a scholar is, he will be envied by others when he enters the imperial court.
