When the labourer maintains himself by funds of his own, as when a peasant-farmer or proprietor lives on the produce of his land, or an artisan works on his own account, they are still supported by capital, that is, by funds provided in advance.

• 当劳动者靠自己的资金为生，当自耕农靠自己的土地产品生活或工匠自立门户工作时，他们依然是靠资本为生，也就是靠预先准备好的资金为生。
