在美剧《摩登家庭》中,Claire将自己以前的一篇论文成功导入到了U盘中,在评价自己的行为时,就用到了今天的单词:I have been accused of having a little problem with perfectionism......but I also have a little problem with injustice much as a certain U.S. President had a little problem with European Imperialism. Of course when a man does it it becomes adoctrine and when a woman does it she's hysterical.我一直因为完美主义饱受诟病,但是我对于不公也有意见,就像某位美国总统对欧洲帝国主义的看法一样。当然当一个男人这么做的时候那是教义,而当一个女人这样做,她就是歇斯底里。
