Unit 6 脸书首席运营官桑德伯格演讲
①We need to start talking about how women underestimate their abilities compared to men and for women, but not men, success and likeability are negatively correlated.
②That means that as a woman is more successful in your workplaces, she will be less liked.
③This means that women need a different form of management and mentorship, a different form of sponsorship and encouragement and some protection, in some ways, more than men.
④And there aren't enough senior women out there to do it, so it falls upon the men who are graduating today just as much or more as the women, not just to talk about gender but to help these women succeed.
⑤When they hear a woman is really great at her job but not liked, take a deep breath and ask why.
⑥We need to start talking openly about the flexibility all of us need to have both a job and a life.
⑦A couple of weeks ago in an interview I said that I leave the office at 5:30 p. m. to have dinner with my children.
⑧And I was shocked at the press coverage.
⑨One of my friends said she wasn't sure I couldn't get more headlines if I had murdered someone with an ax.
⑩I told her I wasn't really interested in trying that.

句构分析
译 我们需要开始讨论相比于男性，女性为什么会低估自己的能力。而且和男性不同，对于女性，成功和受欢迎程度是成反比的。
译 这就意味着一个女性在事业上越成功，她就越不受欢迎。
译 这就意味着女性需要另一种形式的管理和辅导，另一种形式的支持和鼓励，以及一些保护，在某些方面，要比男性需要更多的保护。译 而且有资历做这些的女性还太少，所以今天在座的男性毕业生们要和女性毕业生们一起肩负起这个责任，甚至更多，不仅仅讨论性别，而且要帮助女性取得成功。
译 当听到一个工作上很优秀的女性不受人欢迎时，深呼吸一下，问问这是为什么。
译 我们需要开始公开讨论我们都需要的灵活机制来平衡工作和生活。
译 几周之前，我在一次采访中说我会在五点半离开公司去和我的小孩吃晚饭。
译 我对由此带来的媒体报道感到震惊。
译 一个我的朋友说她不确定如果我用斧子砍人，是否能有更多的头条。
译 我告诉她我对尝试那件事并不感兴趣。
