托斯丹·凡勃伦《有闲阶级论》· The Theory of the Leisure Class · 投资
These manifestations of the predatory temperament are all to be classed under the head of exploit. They are partly simple and unreflected expressions of an attitude of emulative ferocity, partly activities deliberately entered upon with a view to gaining repute for prowess. Sports of all kinds are of the same general character, including prize-fights, bull-fights, athletics, shooting, angling, yachting, and games of skill, even where the element of destructive physical efficiency is not an obtrusive feature. Sports shade off from the basis of hostile combat, through skill, to cunning and chicanery, without its being possible to draw a line at any point. The ground of an addiction to sports is an archaic spiritual constitution--the possession of the predatory emulative propensity in a relatively high potency, a strong proclivity to adventuresome exploit and to the infliction of damage is especially pronounced in those employments which are in colloquial usage specifically called sportsmanship.

白话
这些掠夺气质的表现都可归入“ exploits”（功绩/掠夺）一类。它们部分是简单的、未经反思的竞争性凶悍态度的表达，部分是为了赢得勇武声誉而刻意从事的活动。各种运动都具有同样的一般特征，包括拳击、斗牛、田径、射击、钓鱼、帆船和技巧游戏，即使破坏性身体效率的元素并不显眼。运动从敌对战斗的基础，经过技巧，逐渐过渡到狡诈和欺骗，无法在任何一点上划清界限。沉迷运动的基础是一种古老的精神构造——拥有相对高强度的掠夺性竞争倾向，一种强烈的冒险 exploits 和造成伤害的倾向，在那些口语中专门称为“运动精神”的职业中尤为明显。
