"Eh, what's that?" retorted the doctor. "Nerve! Man alive! She's got twice the nerve of you and me rolled into one. Nerve! she's nothing but nerve. A woman who works as she does about the house and has three children in four years thrown in with the dusting, so to speak!"英文原著 · 《In a German Pension》
Our third principle is the direct action of the excited nervous system on the body, independently of the will, and independently, in large part, of habit. Experience shows that nerve-force is generated and set free whenever the cerebro-spinal system is excited. The direction which this nerve-force follows is necessarily determined by the lines of connection between the nerve-cells, with each other and with various parts of the body. But the direction is likewise much influenced by habit; inasmuch as nerve-force passes readily along accustomed channels.英文原著 · 《The Expression of Emotion in Man and Animals》

_The principle of actions due to the constitution of the Nervous System, independently from the first of the Will, and independently to a certain extent of Habit_.--- When the sensorium is strongly excited, nerve-force is generated in excess, and is transmitted in certain definite directions, depending on the connection of the nerve-cells, and partly on habit: or the supply of nerve-force may, as it appears, be interrupted. Effects are thus produced which we recognize as expressive. This third principle may, for the sake of brevity, be called that of the direct action of the nervous system.英文原著 · 《The Expression of Emotion in Man and Animals》

Then, as her nerves were female nerves, and her fortitude female fortitude, she gave way, for once, and began to cry patiently.英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
We believe that, despite what was done to you as a child, the reason you're in so much pain because you still have functioning nerves in your clitoris, nerves that had been covered with scar tissue.美剧 · 《The Good Doctor》
