767

个人和群体通过其实践和属性不可避免地显露的表象，是其社会现实的不可分割的部分。一个阶级既由它的被感知的存在也由它的存在确定，既由它的消费——这种消费不需要成为炫耀性的就可成为象征性的——也由它在生产关系中的位置确定（即便后者的确支配前者）。（767）
A class is defined as much by its being-perceived as by its being, by its consumption-which need not be conspicuous in order to be symbolic-as much as by its position in the relations of production (even if it is true that the latter governs the former) . （483）
