Education in the ingenious arts, and in the liberal professions, is still more tedious and expensive.

独创艺术和自由职业的教育仍然更加乏味和昂贵。

After what are called the fine arts, and the liberal professions, however, there is perhaps no trade which requires so great a variety of knowledge and experience.

然而，在所谓的美术和自由职业之后，可能没有任何行业需要如此丰富的知识和经验。

The recompence of ingenious artists, and of men of liberal professions, I have endeavoured to show in the first book, necessarily keeps a certain proportion to the emoluments of inferior trades.

我在第一本书中努力表明，聪明的艺术家和自由职业的人的报酬必然与劣等行业的薪酬保持一定的比例。

The lottery of the law, therefore, is very far from being a perfectly fair lottery; and that as well as many other liberal and honourable professions, is, in point of pecuniary gain, evidently under-recompensed.

因此，法律的彩票远非完全公平的彩票。就金钱收益而言，这与许多其他自由和​​光荣的职业一样，显然报酬不足。

If it did not rise in this manner, the ingenious arts and the liberal professions, being; no longer upon a level with other trades, would be so much deserted, that they would soon return to that level.

如果它不以这种方式崛起，那么巧妙的艺术和自由的职业，就是；不再与其他行业处于同一水平，将会如此冷清，以至于他们很快就会回到那个水平。

It was the usual story of penniless young men, who think themselves obliged by their birth to choose a liberal profession and bury themselves in a sort of vain mediocrity, happy even when they escape starvation, notwithstanding their numerous degrees.

这是一文不名的年轻人的常见故事，他们认为自己生来就不得不选择自由职业，将自己埋葬在一种虚荣的平庸中，即使他们逃脱了饥饿，也很快乐，尽管他们的学位很多。
