向前一步:第65期 要成功 也要受欢迎(16)（在线收听） |
Our culture needs to find a robust image of female success that is first, not male, and second, not a white woman on the phone, holding a crying baby. 由此看来，我们的文化需要为成功的女性找到一个固有的形象。首先，她不是女人脸男人身；其次，她不是一手拿着电话、一手搂着啼哭婴儿的白种女人。 In fact, these "bad mother with a briefcase" images are so prevalent 事实上，这类“拿着公文包的差劲母亲”的形象在我们的文化中相当根深蒂固，
that writer Jessica Valenti collected them in a funny and poignant blog post called "Sad White Babies with Mean Feminist Mommies." 以至杰西卡·瓦伦蒂搜罗了一大堆资料，写了篇既风趣幽默又让人心酸的博文，题目是《女权主义的坏脾气妈妈和可怜宝宝》。
Until we can get there, I fear that women will continue to sacrifice being liked for being successful. 我担心在一个女性实现自己的目标之前，她会不断地为之付出不受欢迎的代价。
When I first arrived at Facebook, a local blog devoted some serious pixels to trashing me. 当我最初来到脸谱网时，一个博主还颇费心思地撰写博文来批评我。
They posted a picture of me and superimposed a gun into my hand. 他找了一张我的照片，给我手里添了一把枪，
They wrote "liar" in big red letters across my face. 用大号的红色字母在我脸上写上了“骗子”两个字。
Anonymous sources labeled me "two-faced" and "about to ruin Facebook forever." 还有匿名者给我贴上了“两面派”、“她会彻底毁了脸谱网”的标签。
I cried. I lost some sleep. I worried that my career was over. 我为此大哭，甚至失眠，我担心自己的事业就此完蛋了。
Then I told myself it didn't matter. 我安慰自己说不要在意这些恶意的评价，
Then everyone else told me it didn't matter — which only reminded me that they were reading these awful comments too. 每个人也都告诉我不要在意——然而这只是提醒我他们也读到了这些可怕的评论。
I fantasized about all sorts of rejoinders, but in the end, my best response was to ignore the attacks and do my job. 我设想了所有可能的反驳之后，发现最好的回应就是无视它们，好好工作。
