20世紀50年代中期，一家有著深厚納粹歷史背景的德國製藥公司無意間研發出了一種名叫沙利度胺的藥物。在經過粗劣馬虎、錯漏百出甚至捏造數據的實驗後，這種“沒有風險的萬靈藥”被作為助眠、鎮靜以及緩解孕婦晨吐反應的藥物上市。短短幾年間，沙利度胺還被授權給全球近50個國家的製藥公司生產和銷售。很快，“醫學史上最大的一場浩劫”拉開了帷幕：很多孕婦僅服用過1片沙利度胺，卻產下了四肢像魚鰭或者海豹爪子的“海豹兒”。與此同時，也有製藥公司向美國食品藥品監督管理局（Food and Drug Administration，FDA）提交了沙利度胺的上市申請。但FDA的醫學審查官弗朗西絲·凱爾西敏銳地注意到，申請材料中存在諸多漏洞、錯誤和安全隱患。她也留意到了大洋彼岸的歐洲正在湧現的“海豹兒”。面對來自製藥公司以及與製藥業有著“特別友誼”的FDA上級的巨大壓力，凱爾西堅守科學原則和良知，多次拒絕批准沙利度胺的上市申請，阻止了新生兒畸形的風暴席捲美國。凱爾西並不是一個人在戰鬥，她還有為數不多的幾名盟友。他們是美國歷史上第一位女性吹哨人，身有殘疾卻遠赴歐洲深入調查的傑出學者，率先報道美國沙利度胺問題的調查記者，以及敢於挑戰總統權威，將人民的健康和安全置於首要考量的聯邦參議員。在這些英勇人士的共同努力下，美國於1962年通過了監管臨床試驗和藥物審批的法律，以避免類似的悲劇重演。 但美國的沙利度胺故事還有不為人知的一面。基於翔實的史料和深入的調查，《苦澀的靈藥：沙利度胺、“海豹兒”和拉響警報的英雄》向美國幾乎沒有沙利度胺受害者的美國官方敘事發起了挑戰：儘管沙利度胺從未在美國上市，但多達5家製藥公司仍然向全美上千名醫生提供了至少250萬片沙利度胺用於所謂的“臨床試驗”。這些沙利度胺被隨意地開給了近2萬美國人，包括數千名育齡婦女，其結果是美國至少降生了近百名“海豹兒”。掩蓋這些觸目驚心的數字的，是製藥公司和藥試醫生赤裸裸的謊言，是FDA為了推卸責任對信息的隱瞞和對調查結果的歪曲解讀，是美國司法部對肇事藥企的網開一面。時至半個多世紀後的今天，FDA仍然堅稱美國只有9名沙利度胺藥試受害者。貪婪逐利的資本、監管

譯者序作為一個在三言兩語間難以完整闡述、長期被誤解的專業領域，內部稽核的重要性往往僅為少數專業人士所知。這也是多年來協會志工們持續努力的方向，致力於提升內部稽核的專業地位，讓利害關係人願意了解與重視。一致且通用的專業標準，是邁向卓越的基石，國際內部稽核協會（The Institute of Internal Auditors, IIA）自1947年以來，即投入全球性專業指引與準則的建立，為內部稽核實務及其利害關係人提供一致的執行標準與專業期待。2024年推出最新版「全球內部稽核準則」（Global Internal Audit Standards），更是迄今最全面的專業規範。若是蘋果創辦人賈伯斯來介紹，他會說：「2024 GIAS是史上最完美的內部稽核準則」。有幸參與此一重要準則的繁體中文版翻譯工作，深刻體會到專業翻譯的嚴謹與艱辛。不光得精通專業術語，還需憑藉實務工作累積的內部稽核經驗，努力掌握原文深意，並深入了解訂定各項準則的背景與初衷。為此，我額外研讀官方的《Report on the Standard-Setting and Public Comment Process》等文件，做足超越翻譯所需的知識準備；再者，不同語言之間的專業用語轉換，並非單純的一對一對應，而是需要綜合考量脈絡、慣例、實務現況等多重因素。以「Chief Audit Executive」為例，雖然法令規章與上市櫃公司財報多採「內部稽核主管」一詞，但實務上仍有「總稽核」、「稽核長」等不同稱謂，如何維持法規用語一致性同時兼顧實務狀況，是翻譯過程的一大考驗；最後，儘管協會工作人員協助提供簡譯初稿，然而若要在保留英文原意的同時，以流暢易懂的中文傳達專業內涵，仍需一字一句精雕細琢，期能稍近信、達、雅的理想境界。這120頁、近5萬字的專業原文翻譯過程，實為一場「吟安一個字，撚斷數莖鬚」的深刻淬煉。縱使翻譯過程極具挑戰，所投注的心力或許遠超過實質回報，但能為提升內部稽核專業發展盡一份心力，促進非英語背景的利害關係人對國際準則的理解，這份付出便顯得意義非凡。期望本譯作能讓內部稽核專業在繁體中文世界中被看見，並為實務工作者提供更明確的專業指引。本譯作力求精確與通暢，過程中承蒙黃允暐理事長悉心指導，以及編譯秘書曾婉甄協助處理繁瑣編務。此外，也要特別感謝Ariel與Emily，是她們在這段期間的包容與支持，讓我得
