but it's the only way we can improve
但我们只能在批评中进步

A few years ago, Mark Zuckerberg decided he wanted to learn Chinese
几年前马克·扎克伯格决定要学中文

and in order to practice,he started trying to have work meetings with some of our Facebook colleagues who are native speakers
为了练习他开始尝试在一些工作会议中同中文母语的Facebook同事交流

Now you would think his very limited language skills would keep these conversations from being useful
你们估计可以想到他那有限的中文水平会让谈话很难正常进行

One day he asked a woman who was there, how it was going, how did you like the Facebook
一天他问一位女性问她觉得Facebook怎么样

She answered with a long and pretty complicated sentence
她用一个很长很复杂的句子进行了回答

So he said, you know, simpler please
他说请简单一些

She spoke again,Simpler please
她又说了一次再简单一些

This went back and forth a couple of times,So she is blurted out in frustration, my manager is bad
经过几轮之后她只好说了一句很简单的话 "我的经理很糟糕"

That he understood
他终于懂了

So often the truth is sacrificed to conflict avoidance
通常真相都成了避免冲突的牺牲品

or by the time we speak the truth, we've used so many caveats and preambles that the message totally gets lost
我们在讲真相时总喜欢使用很多修饰很多委婉语淹没了真正要传达的信息

So I ask you to ask each other for the truth and other people,can you list it in simple and clear language?
我希望你们在向他人询问真相的时候能用简单明了的语言相互交流

And when you speak your truth,can you use simple and clear language?
讲到自己的真相时也应使用简单明了的语言

As hard as it is to be honest with other people,it can be even more difficult to be honest with ourselves
同他人坦诚相见很困难坦诚对待自己的想法甚至更难

For years after I had children,I would say pretty often I don't feel guilty working even when no one asked
我有了小孩之后经常会和自己说我对工作并不感到内疚哪怕没人问的时候

Someone might say, Sheryl, how's your day today?
有人跟我说雪莉今天过得如何

And I would say, great I don't feel guilty working
我会说很棒我对工作并不感到内疚

Or do I need a sweater?
有人说我需要一件羊毛衫吗

Yes, it's unpredictably freezing and I don't feel guilty working
我说没错外面很冷我对工作并不感到内疚

I was kinda like a parrot with issues
我就像是一只学舌的鹦鹉

Then one day on the treadmill, I was reading this article on Sociology Journal about how people don't start out lying to other people
有天在跑步机上我正在读社会学杂志上的论文上面写道相比对他人撒谎

they start out lying to themselves
人们更喜欢对自己撒谎

and the things we repeat most frequently are often those lies
而重复最多的那些话通常就是谎言

So the sweat was pouring down my face
我脸上汗如雨下

I started wondering what do I repeat pretty frequently and I realized I feel guilty working
心想我重复最多的一句话是什么我意识到了我对工作感到内疚

I then did a lot of research and I spent an entire year with my dear friend Nell Scovell writing a book talking about how I was thinking and feeling
之后我进行了很多研究我同好友内尔·斯科维尔花了一整年时间写了一本书讲我的想法和感受

and I'm so grateful that so many women around the world connected to it
世界上很多女性都同它产生了共鸣这让我很欣慰

My book of course was called Fifty Shades of Grey
我的书名字叫作《格雷的五十道阴影》

I can see a lot of you connected to it as well
可见你们很多人也都读过这本书

We have even more work to do in being honest about the world we live in
对于我们所生活的世界保持诚实我们还有很多要做

We don't always see the hard truths and once we see them, we don't always have the courage to speak out
我们并不总能看到真相就算看到了我们经常也没有大声说出的勇气

When my classmates and I were in college,we thought that fight for gender equality was one that was over
我和同学们在读大学时认为性别平等的斗争已经结束

Sure, most of the leaders in every industry were men,but we thought changing that was just a matter of time
没错大部分行业的领袖都是男性但改变应该只是时间问题

Lamont Library right over there,one generation before us didn't let women through its doors
那边的拉蒙特图书馆就在我们之前一代人的时间里不允许女性进入

But by the time we sat in your seat, everything was equal,Harvard and Radcliffe was fully integrated
但在我们毕业那时一切都平等了哈佛和拉德克利夫完全统一了

We didn't need feminism because we were already equals
我们不需要女权主义因为我们已经得到了平等

We were wrong,I was wrong
我们错了我错了

The world was not equal then and it is not equal now
世界在那时并不平等现在也不平等

I think nowadays we don't just hide ourselves from the hard truth and shut our eyes to the inequities,but we suffer from the tyranny of low expectations
我认为现如今我们并不只是假装没看到真相并对不平等视而不见我们还在遭受低预期的践踏

In the last election cycle in the United States,women won 20% of the Senate seats
在美国的上一个选举周期女性赢得了20%的参议院席位

and all the headlines started screaming out women take over the Senate
所有报纸头条都开始叫嚷女性接管了参议院

I felt like screaming back, wait a minute everyone,50% of the population getting 20% of the seats
我很想大声回应说等等大伙 50%的人只获得了20%的席位

That's not a takeover. That's an embarrassment
这不是接管这是羞耻

Just a few months ago this year,a very well respected and well-known business executives in Silicon Valley invited me to give a speech to his club on social media
今年就在几个月前硅谷一位很受尊敬的知名商业经理人邀请我到他的社交媒体俱乐部发表演讲

I've been to this club a few months before when I
几个月之前我去过这家俱乐部

have been invited for a friend's birthday

It was a beautiful building and I was wandering around,looking at it, looking for the women's room
建筑很漂亮我在里面游荡欣赏它找女卫生间
