但我拒绝相信事情就这么简单。我自己在处理金钱与自我价值方面的糟糕经历（我将在后文中进行解释）告诉我，实际情况可能非常复杂。

At a party at Claridge’s last week to celebrate the launch of the Lunch with the FT: 52 Classic Interviews book, I went on a fact-finding mission. The event was perfect for my purposes both because half the guests were bankers and chief executives – whom the rest of the world deems to be excessively overpaid – and because teams of waiters were diligently lowering guards by refilling glasses.

在近期为庆祝《与英国〈金融时报〉共进午餐：52次经典采访》(Lunch with the FT: 52 Classic Interviews)一书发行而在Claridge's酒店所举行的派对活动上，我展开了一项探寻真相的行动。这次活动完美地符合我的目标，因为半数来宾皆为银行家或首席执行官——全世界都认为这群人的薪酬过高——此外成队的侍者不断殷勤地为来宾斟满酒杯，降低了他们的警惕性。

The first man I cornered was someone who has made a lot of money in the City. “Are you overpaid?” I asked. “Yes!” he replied at once. And how did that make him feel? His face lit up. “F***ing terrific!”

第一个被我提问的人在伦敦金融城挣了很多钱。我问道：“你觉得自己挣得太多吗？”“当然！”他不假思索地回答道。那么大把挣钱的感觉如何？他的脸上开始放光：“爽呆了！”
