But if we must have laws to bolster our ethics, their guiding principle should be that remuneration is always linked to the performance and services it is intended to compensate. Only measures that ensure that companies reward true merit will be considered legitimate by employees, shareholders, and the public.
但是，如果我们非要法律来提高我们的伦理，那么，它们的指导原则就应当是薪金报酬应当总是与打算让其报偿的效绩和服务挂钩。雇员、股东以及公众只会把确保公司奖励真实功劳业绩的措施视为是合法的。
