Back in business school, macho kids like me studied finance. In the competition of life, money equaled winning, or so we thought, so those who managed the money would become the winners. Didn't matter that I was a woman - I was as competitive as any guy you'd ever met.

以前在商学院读书时，像我这样自以为是的孩子都读金融专业。在生活的竞争中，赚到钱等同于成功，或者说，我们是这么认为的，那些掌控金钱的人将成为胜者。我是女性，这一点并没有关系──我和你遇到过的任何一名男性一样有竞争力。

In our imagined hierarchy of the universe, finance-related majors reigned supreme, while Marketing and HR were 'for the girls,' or those lacking the IQ for math. We brandished our HP 12c financial calculators like little badges of honor.

在我们想象的世界层级结构中，金融相关专业位居最高层，而市场营销和人力资源专业是为女孩子或者缺乏数学智商的人准备的。我们炫耀着自己的惠普12C财务计算器，仿佛它们就是一枚枚小小的荣誉徽章。

It's taken me a lot of years, a lot of living, and a lot of metabolizing of that living, to realize that my view of the world was upside down. The reality is: finance is for wimps.

过了很多年，历经很多生活磨炼以及众多变化之后，我才意识到我的世界观是颠倒的。现实是──金融是给呆瓜们读的。
