The reward for such contributions should be rare like the Congressional Medal of Honor or the Victoria Cross. But it should also be as conspicuous and as great.

针对这类贡献而颁发的奖励应该像美国国会荣誉奖章或英国维多利亚十字勋章一般珍贵、炫目而伟大。

Financial rewards must not be bribes; they must not create the atmosphere in which executives can neither quit nor be fired.

金钱上的奖励绝对不能变成贿赂，也不能制造出高层主管既无法辞职，也不能被解雇的处境。

This raises serious doubts regarding the various schemes for delayed compensation that, for tax reasons, have lately become so popular in American business.

美国企业界为了节税，很流行延期支付酬劳的做法，因而引起严重的不满。
