The Best Thing I Read About A Woman Who Got Blamed For Everything
我读到的关于一个因一切而受到指责的女人的最好的事情
The Woman Who Took the Fall for JPMorgan Chase, by Susan Dominus (New York Times Magazine)
为摩根大通倒下的女人，苏珊·多米纳斯（Susan Dominus）（纽约时报杂志）
I tend to steer clear of stories about finance because I assume they’ll either go over my head or bore me or maybe even disgust me.
我倾向于避开有关金融的故事，因为我认为它们要么让我无法理解，要么让我感到厌烦，甚至可能让我感到厌恶。
This one only disgusted me.
这只让我感到恶心。
I admire how patiently Susan Dominus reported and told Ina Drew’s saga.
我钦佩苏珊·多米纳斯如何耐心地报道和讲述伊娜·德鲁的传奇故事。
We never hear from Drew herself, and yet we’re still given as complete a portrait of her and her tenure at JP Morgan as was possible.
我们从未收到德鲁本人的消息，但我们仍然尽可能完整地了解她和她在摩根大通的任期。
I’ve worked in environments with all men and found certain anecdotes that Dominus picked up to be incredibly relatable—even though the subject is one of the most powerful people in all of Wall Street.
我曾在全男性的环境中工作过，发现多米纳斯提到的某些轶事非常具有相关性——尽管这个对象是整个华尔街最有权势的人之一。
Consider:
考虑：
One of the rare women to rise steadily into the management ranks on Wall Street, Drew stood out, sometimes awkwardly so, in a mostly male work environment.
德鲁是华尔街少数几位稳步晋升到管理层的女性之一，她在男性占主导地位的工作环境中脱颖而出，有时甚至显得尴尬。
Havlicek recalls hearing her address a roomful of 200 male traders not long after Chemical merged with Manufacturers Hanover in 1991.
哈夫利切克回忆起 1991 年化学公司与汉诺威制造商公司合并后不久，就听到她对一屋子 200 名男性贸易商发表的演讲。
“I didn’t plan any of this for my career,” she told the traders.
“我没有为我的职业生涯规划过这些，”她告诉交易员。
“For God’s sake, I was captain of the twirling team in high school.” Her words were met with silence.
“看在上帝的份上，我在高中时是旋转队的队长。”她的话引起了沉默。
“There were dozens of guys that were just cringing for her,” Havlicek says.
“有几十个男人都在为她感到畏缩，”哈夫利切克说。
“She didn’t fit their picture of what a senior trader should look like.” For Drew, there were a lot of moments like that: guys rolling their eyes, muttering under their breath about something she just said.
“她不符合他们对高级交易员的印象。”对于德鲁来说，有很多这样的时刻：人们翻白眼，小声嘀咕她刚才说的话。
“She never seemed to care,” Havlicek says.
“她似乎从不关心，”哈夫利切克说。
“She just kept doing what she was doing.”
“她只是继续做她正在做的事情。”
In general I would say that my favorite unofficial genre of Longreads is the kind that when I finish I think, “that woman is a badass.”
总的来说，我会说我最喜欢的非官方长读类型是那种当我读完后我会想“那个女人是个坏蛋”的类型。
The Best Thing I Read About Girls
我读到的关于女孩的最好的事情
The Loves of Lena Dunham, by Elaine Blair (New York Review of Books)
《莉娜·邓纳姆之恋》，伊莱恩·布莱尔着（《纽约书评》）
I read so many words about Lena Dunham’s HBO series this year that by the time I actually got to sit down and watch the series, I’d nearly lost track of how I would have watched it “on my own.” There was so much said about what Girls had gotten wrong that it became difficult, for me at least, to focus on what the show had gotten right.
今年，我读了很多关于莉娜·杜纳姆 (Lena Dunham) 的 HBO 系列的文字，以至于当我真正坐下来观看该系列时，我几乎不知道自己会如何观看它。关于《女孩们》做错了什么的说法太多了，至少对我来说，很难把注意力集中在这部剧做对的事情上。
Then I read Elaine Blair’s breakdown of Dunham’s treatment of sex in the New York Review of Books and remembered: Oh, I can just watch Girls as a girl, and that is valuable, too.
然后我在《纽约书评》上读到伊莱恩·布莱尔 (Elaine Blair) 对邓纳姆 (Dunham) 对性的处理的详细分析，并记起：哦，我可以把《女孩》当作一个女孩来观看，这也很有价值。
I appreciate criticism that puts you in your place.
我很欣赏那些让你就位的批评。
The Best Thing I Read About Fiona Apple
我读到的关于菲奥娜·苹果最好的事情
‘I Just Want to Feel Everything’: Hiding Out With Fiona Apple, Musical Hermit, by Dan P.
“我只想感受一切”：与音乐隐士 Fiona Apple 一起躲藏，丹·P.
Lee (New York magazine)
李（纽约杂志）
I read Dan P.
我读过丹·P.
Lee on Fiona Apple three times before I’d even listened to Fiona Apple’s new album once.
在我听一次 Fiona Apple 的新专辑之前，Lee 已经听过 Fiona Apple 三次了。
Even Fiona Apple, creative genius, can get stuck watching Mob Wives for four hours.
即使是创意天才菲奥娜·苹果 (Fiona Apple) 也会花四个小时观看《黑帮妻子》(Mob Wives)。
The Best Thing I Read About A Former Olympian
我读到的关于前奥运选手的最好的事情
How A Career Ends: Nancy Hogshead-Makar, Olympic Swimming Gold Medalist, by Rob Trucks (Deadspin)
职业生涯如何结束：奥运会游泳金牌得主南希·霍格黑德·马卡尔，作者：Rob Trucks（Deadspin）
This was my favorite edition of Tell Me When It’s Over, a Deadspin series by Rob Trucks.
这是我最喜欢的《Tell Me When It's Over》版本，这是 Rob Trucks 的 Deadspin 系列。
It’s such a straightforward but brilliant idea: Trucks talks to former world-class athletes about “the moment they knew their playing days were over.” Nancy Hogshead-Makar, an Olympic gold medalist in swimming, talked a lot to Trucks about her career, but also about the sexual assault that defined the later half of her career, in plain language and detail that we don’t normally hear from rape victims.
这是一个如此简单但绝妙的想法：卡车与前世界级运动员谈论“他们知道自己的比赛日子结束的那一刻”。奥运会游泳金牌得主南希·霍格黑德-马卡尔 (Nancy Hogshead-Makar) 向《卡车》谈论了很多关于她的职业生涯的内容，也谈到了影响她职业生涯后半段的性侵犯事件，用平实的语言和细节描述了我们通常不会从强奸受害者那里听到的内容。
(Monika Korra deserves recognition for doing similarly this year.)
（莫妮卡·科拉（Monika Korra）今年的类似做法值得认可。）
The Best Thing I Read About Guns And America
我读到的关于枪支和美国的最好的东西
How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America: A Remembrance, by Kiese Laymon (Cold Drank/Gawker)
《如何在美国慢慢杀死自己和他人：回忆》，作者 Kiese Laymon（Cold Drank/Gawker）
This is a very biased selection that I’m including anyway because I think everyone should read it.
无论如何，这是一个非常有偏见的选择，因为我认为每个人都应该阅读它。
Kiese was my professor and friend at Vassar College.
基斯是我在瓦萨学院的教授和朋友。
I’ve been reading his writing and learning from him for a while, and he is very much the reason that I pursued writing after college at all.
我阅读他的作品并向他学习已经有一段时间了，他是我大学毕业后追求写作的主要原因。
His work gets at an honesty that I think all personal narrative should aspire to.
他的作品表现出一种诚实，我认为所有个人叙述都应该追求这种诚实。
In person and in his writing, he talks a lot about “reckoning”—facing ourselves fully and refusing to glance over our own weaknesses and fuck-ups.
他亲自和在他的作品中谈论了很多关于“清算”的内容——充分面对自己，拒绝审视自己的弱点和糟糕的事情。
I admire that a lot.
我非常钦佩这一点。
I read this story on his blog, Cold Drank, and asked him if we could republish it on Gawker soon after.
我在他的博客 Cold Drank 上读到了这个故事，并询问他是否可以很快在 Gawker 上重新发布它。
I think I’ve read it about once a month ever since.
我想从那以后我大约每月读一次。
This piece hits you in the gut a few times and makes you want to be a better human being.
这首曲子多次击中你的内心，让你想成为一个更好的人。
