公众人物毕业演讲第316期:阿丽安娜.哈芬顿2013史密斯学院(6)

 To me, it's very much a third women's revolution call to arms She spoke¹ of the need to dispel² myths about ambition and success

在我看来 这就是第三次女性革命的革命宣言她讲到消除抱负和成功误区的必要性

Chief among them the myth that success and ambition look like a straight line

其中最重要的一个误区就是成功和抱负看起来像一条直线

Now I guess it's no big surprise that the image of success created by men would be yes, a long, phallic-shaped straight line

我想 毋庸置疑 男人们所塑造的成功形象确实就是一条阳物形状的直线

But if we don't redefine success the personal price we pay will get higher and higher

但如果我们不重新定义成功我们将要付出的个人代价就会越来越大

As the data shows, already that price is much higher for women than for men

根据已有数据显示女性的成功成本比男性高很多

Among career women who have stressful jobs and which career woman doesn't

Notoriously told the class of 1954 that their way to the top would be determined by the men they married
