近兩年來，美國普通員工的工資漲幅趕不上物價飆升的速度，然而高薪的首席執行官的收入漲幅卻能輕松跑贏通貨膨脹。盡管去年多數美國公司的市場表現不佳，但是高管們的平均薪酬漲幅依然達到了7.7%。

For nearly two years, worker pay in the US has fallen short of crushing increases in the cost of living. But a handful of the highest-paid CEOs have comfortably stayed ahead of inflation.

近兩年來，美國員工工資漲幅一直趕不上物價飆升的速度，然而薪水最高的首席執行官的收入卻總能輕松跑贏通脹。

Average pay for top chief executives last year rose 7.7%, according to a report from Equilar, an executive compensation research firm. That raise comfortably beat out inflation, which was 6.4% in December.

薪酬調查公司依奎拉的報告顯示，去年美國首席執行官的平均收入上漲了7.7%。這一漲幅輕松跑贏了通脹，去年12月的通脹率是6.4%。

The median corporate leader on Equilar's list of 100 best-paid CEOs made a record $22.3 million in 2022, including salaries, stock awards and cash bonuses. The report focused on public companies with more than $1 billion in revenue who had reported executive pay as of March 31.

依奎拉列出的2022年薪酬最高的100位首席執行官當中，中位數薪酬達到了破紀錄的2230萬美元，薪酬包含年收入、股票分紅和獎金。該報告的統計對象是2023年3月31日前公布管理層薪酬且營收超10億美元的上市公司的高管們。

"CEO compensation continues to rise at a higher rate than median employees," Equilar said, noting that the typical CEO on the top 100 list makes 288 as much as a typical worker. The growing gap "continues to draw the ire from the average employee," the report noted.

依奎拉稱：“首席執行官的薪酬漲幅依然高于普通員工。”依奎拉指出，入選薪酬前100名的首席執行官的平均收入是普通員工平均收入的288倍。報告指出，這一不斷擴大的收入差距“激起了普通員工的怒火”。

The typical full-time worker last year made about $56,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

美國勞工統計局的數據顯示，去年普通全職員工的平均年收入約為56000美元。

While CEO' 7.7% pay increase last year topped the rank-and-file, most of whom received 5% raises at best, it's a sharp fall from 2021, when executive leaders' compensation swelled 31%, boosted by post-pandemic bonuses and stock awards. Still, the increase is notable considering how poorly most companies fared in the markets last year. The S&P 500 index lost 18% in 2022, while Equilar's list had a median investment return of -11.1%.

盡管去年首席執行官7.7%的平均薪酬漲幅遙遙領先于普通員工，但是多數首席執行官的薪酬漲幅最高只有5%，相比2021年31%的漲幅（得益于疫情后發放的大額獎金和股票分紅）急劇下降。盡管如此，考慮到多數公司去年的市場表現，這一漲幅已經很可觀了。2022年標準普爾500指數下跌了18%，而入選依奎拉薪酬榜的平均投資回報率為負11.1%。

The highest-paid CEO on Equilar's list was Peloton's Barry McCarthy, whose compensation last year totaled $168 million, most of it in the form of stock options.

依奎拉薪酬榜上薪水最高的首席執行官是互動健身平臺Peloton的巴里·麥卡錫，他去年的薪水總額達到了1.68億美元，大部分收入來自股票期權。

McCarthy is followed on the list by Apple CEO Tim Cook, who took in $99.4 million last year, and AIG's Peter Zaffino at No. 3, with $75.3 million.

排在薪酬榜第二位的是蘋果首席執行官蒂姆·庫克，他去年的收入為9940萬美元，第三名是美國國際集團的彼得·扎菲諾，年收入為7530萬美元。
