Is my boss sane? The probability is infinitely low as we might like. The boss may look quite normal. For brief moments, especially with clients, he may even act as such. Nevertheless, to those who are in on the story, nothing can entirely disguise that one has placed oneself in the hands of welldressed maniac.

　　我的老板通情達理嗎？回答肯定的可能性比我們的期望低很多。你的老板可能看上去很正常。在簡會上——尤其是有客戶在的時候，他可能表現得也很正常。然而，對于那些跟老板“共處一室”的人來說，他們已經將自己置身于一個衣著光鮮的瘋子手中，這一切已經一覽無余。

　　The first response of the recently hired employee is akin to1 a new bride who, only a few weeks after toasting her nuptials2 with 350 friends in a marquee reception with champagne and salmon en croute3, is slapped hard across the face by her husband. The forgivable response is to hope and get the blusher out.

　　對此，那些新員工的第一反應和新婚新娘的反應如出一轍：幾周前還在帳篷婚禮上享受著香檳和鮭魚面包卷，和350 個朋友舉杯慶祝她的婚禮，而今卻迎來丈夫重重的一記耳光。而她只能希望并設法使紅紅的巴掌印早日褪去，算是原諒吧。
