The imposing view of the Empire State Building is offset by many family photos.
辦公室外帝國大廈的壯觀景象在辦公室內的許多家庭照片面前顯得黯然失色。
Her only mild gesture of dominance is that despite being 5 ft. 10 in., she wears high heels, so she towers over most visitors.
全身上下，她唯一顯得有點逼人的地方就是雖然身高已經高達5英尺10英寸（1米78），她還是穿著高跟鞋，所以她比大多數來訪者都要高。
Engelbert sources some of her success to two lucky breaks.
恩格波特特將自己的部分成功歸功于幸運女神的兩次光顧。
The first was that as a young consultant, she was sent to find out about this new financial instrument, derivatives.
一次是她作為一名年輕的顧問，她被派去找一些關于“金融衍生品”這一新型金融工具的資料。
Her early expertise catapulted her into a different league.
早早具備的專業知識讓她一下進入了一個新的范疇。
"It gave me a platform to meet with treasurers and CFOs across America, and it was my frst taste of leadership," she says.

she was not deterred by the behavior of the bros who worked in the capital-markets team.

她要求給她換一個更大的客戶，而那個客戶恰好離她家只有兩英里遠。
Her bosses agreed but warned her that the proprietor was not a fan of female consultants.
她的老板同意了，但警告她那個客戶老板不喜歡女顧問。
"He didn’t think I could do the job," she says.
“老板覺得我把那個客戶拿不下來，”她說。
"But I thought, I’m going to take this as a challenge and turn him. By the end of my five years there, he was like, ‘She’s the best partner I’ve ever worked with.‘ "
“但我覺得，我要把這次談判當成說服他的一 次挑戰。等我在那兒工作整整五年之后，那位客戶已經是，'她是我合作過的最好的合作伙伴。’這種感覺了。”
