Alfred Velpeau (1795-1867) was the most famous and the most popular French surgeon of his time. His exceptional career was due to the conjunction of a rare quality of mind and providential circumstances. His life, a true fairy tale, is an example to be honored. Nothing is more original, wrote Paul Valery, than to feed from others.
阿尔弗雷德·韦尔佩（1795 - 1867）是他那个时代最著名、最受欢迎的法国外科医生。他非凡的职业生涯归因于罕见的心智品质与天赐机遇的结合。他的一生宛如一个真实的童话，值得敬仰。保罗·瓦莱里写道，最独特的莫过于借鉴他人。
