精力，沒錢來破解你這個密碼！”）
羅伯特又難受又激動地打暫停手勢：“Hang on！ Mr。 Li！”（“請停一下，李先生！”）
李雁南打斷他：“You know everything has its cost。 The cost of poverty is to sacrifice all to make a hand…to…mouth living； not to entertain the so…called elite。 So you shouldn’t underestimate the cost of poverty。 It’s inhumane and shameful！”（“你知道任何事都是有成本的！窮人的成本是為了勉強餬口付出一切，而不是為了供那些所謂的精英們來開心！你不應該低估貧窮的成本，那是不人道的，可恥的！”）
羅伯特打斷李雁南，面紅耳赤地說：“Hang on……！ Wait！ I protest！ No wonder you’re a cynic！ You’re looking down upon and insulting me！ First； yes； I know she’s from the country and doesn’t have a good education。 She doesn’t know we’re arguing about her even though she’s standing right next to us。 I know she’s doing lowly work and earns little money and I know she isn’t sociable。 But none of these is her fault； rather； it’s society’s fault。 Society deprived her of these things during her childhood。 It just proves her innocence。 Second； she’s in the lower class； but she’s a diligent； happy； cute； decent and noble girl in my mind。 Third； we Americans； or I at least； never judge people according to their background； their jobs or their status。 On the contrary； we treasure their personalities； their virtues and their behavior。 Education is to some extent important but it’s not the only thing that matters。 Lastly； status can be changed by struggle because everyone has his potential。 When my father met my mother in Chicago the first time； my mother was poor too。 But my father didn’t care。 And now； guess what； my mother is more successful than my father。 You know the only problem for that girl is the opportunity。 I tend to look on the bright side of things。 It’s just a matter of time！ So I don’t worry about these things at all。 It’s Chinese philosophy； not mine！”（“等等！等等！我抗議！ 你不愧為一個犬儒主義者！你瞧不起我，侮辱我！首先，不錯，我知道她來自農村，
