“正如 Watergate 是那个时代的代表性事件，Enron 也是我们这个时代最重大的商业事件。正如《All the President's Men》是唯一一本为读者呈现兼具戏剧性与丰富细节的完整内幕的 Watergate 图书，《The Smartest Guys in the Room》则是要想读懂这段商业传奇所不可不读的一本书。”——封套文案。

……屡次对这些金融灾难是如何酿成的感到震惊；往往看起来高层蒙骗自己比蒙骗其他任何人都厉害。贝萨妮·麦克莱恩的另一本书《房间里最聪明的人》（与此相关但此处未引用）就是极好的例子，读完之后，我对安然的看法与刚开始时完全不同了。
…have been repeatedly surprised at how these financial disasters came to be; it often seems like the people at the top were deceiving themselves more than anyone else. Bethany McLean's other book, "The Smartest Guys in the Room" (relevant but not cited here) was a particularly good example of this, and I came away from it with a very different view of Enron than I'd had going in.
我还推荐《The Smartest Guys in the Room》（以及基于该书改编的纪录片）[0]：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113576.The_Smartest_Guys...
I’d also recommend The Smartest Guys in the Room (and the documentary based on the book) [0]: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113576.The_Smartest_Guys...
强烈推荐贝萨妮·麦克莱恩的《The Smartest Guys in the Room》来了解安然事件。另外，露西·普雷布尔——她现在是HBO剧集《继承之战》（Succession）的顾问——也围绕这事写了一部很棒的舞台剧。
I highly recommend Bethany McLean’s "The Smartest Guys in the Room" to read up on Enron. Also, Lucy Prebble - who is now a consultant on HBO‘s succession - has written a nice play on the matter.

在商业写作领域，贝萨妮·麦克莱恩绝对是顶尖的。《The Smartest Guys in the Room》写得太精彩了。至于微软：俗话说成功有许多父亲，失败更是如此。如果微软现在还能像早期那样独领风骚，那才真叫不可思议呢……
Bethany McLean is the best in business writing. The Smartest Guys in the Room was fantastic. As for Microsoft: the adage goes that success has many fathers. Failure has even more. It would have been nothing short of amazing if Microsoft was as dominant now as it was in the early…
> 安然并不是一家因为违法而被逮个正着的普通企业。整件事从头到尾就是个骗局，根本没有剩下任何能正常运转的业务。这并不是事实。去读读《The Smartest Guys in the Room》吧。安然一开始是一家正规公司，只是随着时间的推移一步步滑向欺诈的深渊。
> Enron wasn’t a regular business caught committing crimes. The entire thing was fraud. There was no business left to operate. This isn't true. Read The Smartest Guys in the Room. Enron started out as a real company and slowly became increasingly fraudulent with time.
