TED经典演讲稿女孩要勇敢而不必完美(1).pdf

So a few years ago,I did something really brave,or some would say really stupid.I ran for Congress.For years,I had existed safely behind the scenes in politics as a fundraiser,as an organizer,but in my heart,I always wanted to run.The sitting congresswoman had been in my district since 1992.She had never lost a race,and no one had really even run against her in a Democratic primary.But in my mind,this was my way to make a difference,to disrupt the status quo.The polls,however,told a very different story.My pollsters told me that I was crazy to run,that there was no way that I could win.年前，我做了些常勇敢的事，或许有些会说很愚蠢的事。我参选国会议员。很多年来，我安全地存在于 政治活动背后 作为资筹集，作为组织者，但我的内，我直希望参选。我所在选区的国会议员 从1992年起担任这个职务。她从未输过场选战，没有真正认真地 在民主选举中与她竞争。但在我中，这就是我 创造不同的式，改变现状。民意调查，然，显出完全不同的故事。我的民调专家告诉我 我要参选简直疯了，我不可能会赢。But I ran anyway,and in 2012,I became an upstart in a New York City congressional race.I swore I was going to win.I had the endorsement from the New York Daily News,the Wall Street Journal snapped pictures of me on election day,and CNBC called it one of the hottest races in the country.I raised money from everyone I knew,including Indian aunties that were just so happy an Indian girl was running.但我还是参选了，在2012年，我成了崛起的新秀 参选纽约市国会竞选。我发誓我会赢。我得到了纽约每新闻的认可，华尔街报刊登了我在选举的照，美国全国播公司财经频道称之为 全国范围内最热的选战。我从我认识的每个那筹钱，包括印度阿姨们 她们很兴个印度参选。TED题：Teach girls bravery,not perfection 作者：Reshma

percent of the vote,and the same papers that said I was a rising political star now said I wasted 1.3 million dollars on 6,321 votes.Dont do the math.It was humiliating.但选举，民调是对的，我只拿到了19%的选票，那张曾称我为新兴政治明星的报纸 现在却说我浪费了130万美 在6321张选票上。不要算数字。太丢脸了。Now,before you get the wrong idea,this is not a talk about the importance of failure.Nor is it about leaning in.I tell you the story of how I ran for Congress because I was 33 years old and it was the first time in my entire life that I had done something that was truly brave,where I didnt worry about being perfect.现在，在你们得到错误观点前，这不是个讲述 失败有多重要的演说。也不是说孩要向前步。我讲述的故事是 我如何参选国会议员的 因为我只有33岁 这是我中第次 做出真正勇敢的事，没有担完美。And Im not alone:so many women I talk to tell me that they gravitate towards careers and professions that they know theyre going to be great in,that they know theyre going to be perfect in,and its no wonder why.Most girls are taught to avoid risk and failure.Were taught to smile pretty,play it safe,get all As.Boys,on the other hand,are taught to play rough,swing high,crawl to the top of the monkey bars and then just jump off headfirst.我不是个：太多曾告诉我 她们多么被职业和专业吸引 她们知道她们会做得很好，她们知道她们会常完美，不为奇。绝多数的孩被教育 来规避风险和失败。我们被教育要有漂亮的微笑，不要冒险，课程拿全A。男孩们，另来说，被教育成要更加勇猛，冲击更的标，爬上单杠最的那层然后往下跳。humiliatingadj.丢脸的gravitatev.被吸引 on the other hand另来说headfirstadv.不顾前后地And by the time theyre adults,whether theyre negotiating a raise or even asking someone out on a date,theyre habituated to take risk after risk.Theyre rewarded for it.Its often said in Silicon Valley,no one even takes you seriously unless youve had two failed start-ups.In other words,were raising our girls to be perfect,and were raising our boys to be brave.当他们成长为，论他们是在谈判加薪 或是约某出去玩，他们习惯于接受个个挑战。他们也为此得到回报奖赏。在矽有这样的说法，没把你当回事 除你创业失败两次以上。另句话说，我们教育培养孩们追求完美，我们教育培养男孩们要勇敢。Some people worry about our federal deficit,but I,I worry about our bravery deficit.Our economy,our society,were just losing out because were not raising our girls to be brave.The bravery deficit is why women are underrepresented in STEM,in C-suites,in boardrooms,in Congress,and pretty much everywhere you look.有些担我们的联邦字，但是，我担我们的勇字。我们的经济，我们的社会，我们在遭受损失，因为我们没有教育孩们要勇敢。勇字就是为什么性 在科学技术程数学（STEM）领域，在企业管层，在董事会，在国会，在你所看到的任何地 都未被充分代表。In the 1980s,psychologist Carol Dweck looked at how bright fifth graders handled an assignment that was too difficult for them.She found that bright girls were quick to give up.The higher the IQ,the more likely they were to give up.Bright boys,on the other hand,found the difficult material to be a challenge.They found it energizing.They were more likely to redouble their efforts.在1980年代，理学家Carol Dweck 观察研究了五年级学 如何处理项 对他们来说太困难的作业。她发现，聪明的孩们很快就放弃了。智商越的孩，放弃的可能性越。男孩们，将困难的材料视为个挑战。他们为此精充沛。他们更倾向于双倍努。negotiatev.谈判habituatedadj.习惯的start-ups启动federal deficit联邦字underrepresented代表额不的boardroomsn.会议室redoublevet.再加倍Whats going on?Well,at the fifth grade level,girls routinely outperform boys in every subject,including math and science,so its not a question of ability.The difference is in how boys and girls approach a challenge.And it doesnt just end in fifth grade.An HP report found that men will apply for a job if they meet only 60 percent of the qualifications,but women,women will apply only if they meet 100 percent of the qualifications.100 percent.This study is usually invoked as evidence that,well,women need a little more confidence.But I think its evidence that women have been socialized to aspire to perfection,and theyre overly cautious.发了什么？嗯，在五年级，孩总的来说男孩 在各个科的表现都要好，包括数学和科学，所以这不是能的问题。不同点在于男孩和孩 如何看待挑战。这不于五年级。份惠普报告指出 男性会递出作申请 如果他们只达到60%的招聘要求，性，性只有在 100%达到招聘要求的时候 才会递出申请。百分之百。这份研究通常会被作为 证据来说，嗯，性需要更多的信。但我认为这是证据 说明性长期被赋予 追逐完美，她们太过谨慎了。And even when were ambitious,even when were leaning in,that socialization of perfection has caused us to take less risks in our careers.And so those 600,000 jobs that are open right now in computing and tech,women are being left behind,and it means our economy is being left behind on all the innovation and problems women would solve if they were socialized to be brave instead of socialized to be perfect.即使是当我们雄勃勃，即使我们向前步，社会对完美的要求 让我们在职业发展中 选择冒更的风险。现在，在计算机和科技领域，有六万个开放申请的作职位，性被抛在了后，这也意味着我们的经济 被远远抛在了后 性可以解决的创新和难题 如果性被教育要勇敢 不是完美。routinelyadv.常规的outperformv.胜过qualificationn.资格aspirev.渴望cautiousadj.socializationn.社会化So in 2012,I started a company to teach girls to code,and what I found is that by teaching them to code I had socialized them to be brave.Coding,its an endless process of trial and error,of trying to get the right command in the right place,with sometimes just a semicolon making the difference between success and failure.Code breaks and then it falls apart,and it often takes many,many tries until that magical moment when what youre trying to build comes to life.It requires perseverance.It requires imperfection.在2012年，我创办了家公司 教孩如何编程，我发现，通过教她们如何编程 我令她们更加勇敢。编程，是个尽的过程 实验和错误，试着将对的指令放在合适的地，有时只是个分号 就能决定成功还是失败。编码出错了随后七零落，时常需要很多很多次试验 直到那个神奇的时刻 你想要搭建的程序完成了。它需要持之以恒的努。需要接受不完美。We immediately see in our program our girls fear of not getting it right,of not being perfect.Every Girls Who Code teacher tells me the same story.During the first week,when the girls are learning how to code,a student will call her over and shell say,I dont know what code to write.The teacher will look at her screen,and shell see a blank text editor.If she didnt know any better,shed think that her student spent the past 20 minutes just staring at the screen.But if she presses undo a few times,shell see that her student wrote code and then deleted it.She tried,she came close,but she didnt get it exactly right.Instead of showing the progress that she made,shed rather show nothing at all.Perfection or bust.我们即发现在项 孩们害怕出错，害怕不完美。每个孩的指导师 都和我说样的故事。在第周，当孩们试着学习如何编程，个学叫她过去 她说到，“我不知道要写那个编码。”当师看她的屏幕，会看到个完全空的界。如果她不知道原因的话，她也许会想 她的学在过去的20分钟 只是盯着屏幕发呆。但如果她点击下撤销键，他就会看到她的学 写了代码随后又删掉了它们。她尝试了，她接近标了，但是她没有完全答对。起展现她经历的过程，她宁可什么都不展现。要么完美要么什么也没有。commandv.命令semicolonn.分号perseverancen.毅undov.解开a few times次bustn.破产It turns out that our girls are really good at coding,but its not enough just to teach them to code.My friend Lev Brie,who is a professor at the University of Columbia and teaches intro to Java tells me about his office hours with computer science students.When the guys are struggling with an assignment,theyll come in and theyll say,Professor,theres something wrong with my code.The girls will come in and say,Professor,theres something wrong with me.结果显孩们 常善于编程，但教给她们如何写代码 是完全不够的。我的朋友Lev Brie，是哥伦亚学的教授 他教授Java编程 他告诉我他对电脑科学学开放的 咨询时间发的故事。当男们艰难应对个作业的时候，他们会过来然后说，“教授，我编的程序 出了点问题。”们会过来然后说，“教授，我出了点问题。”We have to begin to undo the socialization of perfection,but weve got to combine it with building a sisterhood that lets girls know that they are not alone.Because trying harder is not going to fix a broken system.I cant tell you how many women tell me,Im afraid to raise my hand,Im afraid to ask a question,because I dont want to be the only one who doesnt understand,the only one who is struggling.我们必须要撤销 对性社会化的完美主义，我们必须要将这和 建性持系统起 让孩们知道 她们并不孤单。因为再努地尝试 也法修补个破裂的系统。太多的性朋友告诉我，“我害怕举发，我害怕问问题，因为我不想做那个 那个唯不懂的，那个唯挣扎的。When we teach girls to be brave and we have a supportive network cheering them on,they will build incredible things,and I see this every day.Take,for instance,two of our high school students who built a game called Tampon Run-yes,Tampon Run-to fight against the menstruation taboo and sexism in gaming.当我们教孩们要勇敢 我们要有持她们的系统 来励她们，她们会有伟的成就，我每天都看到这些事。举个例，两个中学 制作了个游戏叫做卫棉逃亡,对，卫棉逃亡-来反对游戏中的经标记 和对性的歧视。struggle with与争undov.撤销sisterhoodn.姐妹关系Or the Syrian refugee who dared show her love for her new country by building an app to help Americans get to the polls.Or a 16-year-old girl who built an algorithm to help detect whether a cancer is benign or malignant in the off chance that she can save her daddys life because he has cancer.These are just three examples of thousands,thousands of girls who have been socialized to be imperfect,who have learned to keep trying,who have learned perseverance.And whether they become coders or the next Hillary Clinton or Beyonc,they will not defer their dreams.或是叙利亚难民 她展了对新国家的爱 制作了款应程序 让美国轻松了解民调。或是个16岁的孩 她建了套运算系统 来帮助测算癌症是 良性的还是恶性的，抱着丝希望能救她 患癌症的亲。这只是成千上万个例中的三个，成千上万个孩 被社会化为不完美的，她们学习如何不断尝试，学着如何持之以恒。论她们未来会成为程序员 或是下个希拉克林顿 或是碧昂斯，她们不会推迟的梦想。And those dreams have never been more important for our country.For the American economy,for any economy to grow,to truly innovate,we cannot leave behind half our population.We have to socialize our girls to be comfortable with imperfection,and weve got to do it now.We cannot wait for them to learn how to be brave like I did when I was 33 years old.We have to teach them to be brave in schools and early in their careers,when it has the most potential to impact their lives and the lives of others,and we have to show them that they will be loved and accepted not for being perfect but for being courageous.这些梦想对我们国家来说 是多么重要。对美国的经济，对任何成长中的经济，对真正的创新开发，我们不能丢下半数的。我们需要社会化地教孩们 适应习惯不完美，我们现在开始就要这样做。我们不能等到她们 去学习如何勇敢 就像我33岁时那样。我们要教她们勇敢 在学校 在职业起步的时期，在能够影响她们的 以及其他的 重要的时期，要让她们知道 她们会被爱被接受 不是因为完美 是因为充满勇。refugeen.难algorithmv.算法malignantadj.恶性的perseverancen.毅courageousn.勇And so I need each of you to tell every young woman you know-your sister,your niece,your employee,your colleague-to be comfortable with imperfection,because when we teach girls to be imperfect,and we help them leverage it,we will build a movement of young women who are brave and who will build a better world for themselves and for each and every one of us.我需要你们每个 告诉你认识的每个年轻-你的姐妹，你的侄，你的雇员，你的同事-习惯接受不完美，因为当我们告诉孩 不必完美的时候，我们帮助她们平衡这样的关系，我们会有更多勇敢的年轻 这些为她们 和我们每个建更好的世界。Chris Anderson:Reshma,thank you.Its such a powerful vision you have.You have a vision.Tell me how its going.How many girls are involved now in your program?Reshma Saujani:Yeah.So in 2012,we taught 20 girls.This year well teach 40,000 in all 50 states.克斯安德森：Reshma，谢谢你。这是常强的憧憬。你很有眼光。现在进的怎么样了。现在有多少孩 加了你的项活动？Reshma Saujani：是的。在2012年，有20个孩参与。今年，我们有4万名孩 来美国50个州。And that number is really powerful,because last year we only graduated 7,500 women in computer science.Like,the problem is so bad that we can make that type of change quickly.这个数字真的很厉害，因为去年我们只有7500名性 拿到电脑科学的学位。问题很严重 所以我们才能快速做出改变。CA:And youre working with some of the companies in this room even,who are welcoming graduates from your program?CA：你和现在会场些公司合作 它们欢迎你结业于 你的项的学吗？imperfectionn.不完美RS:Yeah,we have about 80 partners,from Twitter to Facebook to Adobe to IBM to Microsoft to Pixar to Disney,I mean,every single company out there.And if youre not signed up,Im going to find you,because we need every single tech company to embed a Girls Who Code classroom in their office.RS：是的，我们有 概80个合作公司，从推特到脸书 还有Adobe，IBM，微软 克斯，还有迪斯尼，我是说，每家公司。如果你还没和我们签合作，我会去找你，因为我们需要每个科技公司 都有能够编程的孩 在他们的办公室作。CA:And you have some stories back from some of those companies that when you mix in more gender balance in the engineering teams,good things happen.CA：你有些故事 来于那些公司 当公司性别更平等的时候 在程队，有好事情发。RS:Great things happen.I mean,I think that its crazy to me to think about the fact that right now 85 percent of all consumer purchases are made by women.Women use social media at a rate of 600 percent more than men.We own the Internet,and we should be building the companies of tomorrow.And I think when companies have diverse teams,and they have incredible women that are part of their engineering teams,they build awesome things,and we see it every day.RS：太棒的事情了。我是说，对我来说这样的事实 简直令发疯 85%的消费为来于性。性使社交媒体的率 是男性的六倍。我们拥有络，我们未来会创建公司。我想，当公司的团队 更加多元化，他们的程队有卓越的性，他们会建造美好的建筑，我们每天都看到这些。CA:Reshma,you saw the reaction there.Youre doing incredibly important work.This whole community is cheering you on.More power to you.Thank you.CA：Reshma，你看到了现场观众的反应。你在做卓越又重要的作。整个群体都在为你欢呼打。希望你更加成功。谢谢。social
