There are those among us for whom summer is a sartorial assault course; I'm thinking particularly of members of the opposite sex who work (whisper it) in finance. Just because you are a banker doesn't mean you have to dress like one and, frankly, the way the wind is blowing, you'd be far better served disguising yourself as a geography teacher or even a lawyer.

对于一些人来说，夏天就等于着装障碍赛；我想说的是（小点声）──金融行业内的异性。仅仅因为你是银行家，并不意味着你必须穿得像个银行家，而且坦白说，按当前“风向来看，把自己打扮成地理老师，甚至是律师的模样会明智得多。

In any case, it's a well-known fact that bankers simply can't do 'off duty.' Their idea of Saturday attire is removing their tie and not lacing their brogues as tightly. I'm exaggerating; I know bankers who wear khakis at the weekend―but only with a knife crease and a striped Charvet shirt (sleeves rolled and top button open). Holidays are even worse. Going on vacation with a banker is about as comfortable as going on a silent retreat with a 5-year-old.

银行家根本就不知道何谓“下班装束，这是众所周知的事实。他们对周六穿着的认识就是，把领带摘掉、把布洛克皮鞋鞋带松一松。好吧，我是有点夸张了；我确实是认识一些银行家周末会穿卡其裤，但请注意，这时候它们必定是裤缝笔直、并与夏尔凡(Charvet)的条纹衬衫（袖子卷起，而且最上面的纽扣解开）一道亮相的。假期那就更糟糕了。与一个银行家一起度假，几乎就像与一个5岁孩子去躲清静一样“舒服。
