So forcibly does this truth strike me, that I would rest the whole tendency of my reasoning upon it; for whatever tends to incapacitate the maternal character, takes woman out of her sphere.

这个真理如此强烈地打动了我，以至于我将把我的整个推理倾向都建立在它之上；因为任何会使母性性格丧失能力的东西，都会把女人带出她的领域。

Besides, by the exercise of their bodies and minds, women would acquire that mental activity so necessary in the maternal character, united with the fortitude that distinguishes steadiness of conduct from the obstinate perverseness of weakness.

此外，通过锻炼她们的身心，女性将获得母性性格所必需的精神活动，以及将行为的稳健与顽固的软弱区分开来的刚毅。
