抄一下这位老先生自己的话。
By law in China, a man is allowed to have only one wife, but he may have as many handmaids or concubines as he like.……Now the feminine ideal in China, I said, is not an ideal for a man to spend his whole life in caressing and worshipping. Therefore when a husband who is sick or invalided from overwork with his brain and mind, requires a handmaid, a hand rack or eye rack to enable him to get well and to fit him for his life work, the wife in China with her selflessness, gives it to him just as a good wife in Europe and America gives an armchair or goat's milk to her husband when he is sick or requires it. In fact it is the selflessness of the wife in China, her sense of duty, the duty of self sacrifice which allows a man in China to have handmaids or concubines.
还有关于日本的一段暂时没翻到,反正我看着是巨不舒服。。。。
