奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
From every point of view it pays well to dress well. The knowledge that we are becomingly clothed acts like a mental tonic. Very few men or women are so strong and so perfectly poised as to be unaffected by their surroundings. If you lie around half-dressed, without making your toilet, and with your room all in disorder, taking it easy because you do not expect or wish to see anybody, you will find yourself very quickly taking on the mood of your attire and environment. Your mind will slip down; it will refuse to exert itself; it will become as slovenly, slipshod, and inactive as your body. On the other hand, if, when you have an attack of the "blues," when you feel half sick and not able to work, instead of lying around the house in your old wrapper or dressing gown, you take a good bath,--a Turkish bath, if you can afford it,--put on your best clothes, and make your toilet as carefully as if you were going to a fashionable reception, you will feel like a new person. Nine times out of ten, before you have finished dressing your "blues" and your half-sick feeling will have vanished like a bad dream, and your whole outlook on life will have changed.

白话
穿得得体从各方面看都划算。知道自己衣着得体，就像给精神打了一针兴奋剂。很少有人能强大到完全不受环境影响。如果你整天穿着睡衣、不梳洗，房间乱七八糟，因为不想见人就懒散着，你很快会染上这身打扮和环境的情绪：脑子往下滑，不愿动，变得和身体一样邋遢、马虎、没精打采。反过来，当你情绪低落、半病着干不动活时，别穿着旧袍子窝在家里，去好好洗个澡（条件允许就洗土耳其浴），穿上最好的衣服，像要去参加时髦招待会一样认真梳洗，你会像换了个人。十有八九，还没穿戴完，低落和半病的感觉就像噩梦一样消散，整个生活观都变了。
