Then two women rose to the microphone.
然后，有兩位女性觀眾走到話筒前。
The first asked, "Do you think it's okay to work for a company that competes with the company you worked for before business school?"
第一位女士問我：“你認(rèn)為去公司的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手那里工作合適嗎？”
The second asked, "How can I get a mentor?" My heart sank.
第二位女士問的是：“我怎樣才能找到自己的人生導(dǎo)師？”我心頭一沉。
The men were focusing on how to manage a business and the women were focusing on how to manage a career.
男性關(guān)注的是怎樣經(jīng)營業(yè)務(wù)本身，而女性關(guān)注的則是怎樣規(guī)劃職業(yè)；
The men wanted answers and the women wanted permission and help.
男性想要答案，而女性則希望獲得許可和幫助。
I realized that searching for a mentor has become the professional equivalent of waiting for Prince Charming.
我發(fā)現(xiàn)，關(guān)于導(dǎo)師的尋找對(duì)女性來說近乎于對(duì)白馬王子的憧憬。
We all grew up on the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty," which instructs young women that if they just wait for their prince to arrive,
我們都在《睡美人》的童話里長大，都堅(jiān)信只需靜候王子的到來，
they will be kissed and whisked away on a white horse to live happily ever after.
被王子吻醒后，就會(huì)坐上白馬瀟灑地離開，從此過上幸福快樂的生活。
Now young women are told that if they can just find the right mentor,
同理，現(xiàn)在的年輕女性也認(rèn)為，只需要找到合適的導(dǎo)師，
they will be pushed up the ladder and whisked away to the corner office to live happily ever after.
就能“更上一層樓”，瀟灑地成為女高管，從此過上幸?？鞓返纳?。
Once again, we are teaching women to be too dependent on others.
又來了，其實(shí)我們一直在教導(dǎo)女性過多地去依賴他人。
To be clear, the issue is not whether mentorship is important. It is.
明確地說，問題不在于人生導(dǎo)師是否重要。當(dāng)然，導(dǎo)師肯定是重要的。
Mentorship and sponsorship are crucial for career progression.
導(dǎo)師也好，贊助者也好，對(duì)于職業(yè)發(fā)展來說都很關(guān)鍵。
Both men and women with sponsors are more likely to ask for stretch assignments and pay raises than their peers of the same gender without sponsors.
與沒有贊助者的同性工作伙伴相比，擁有贊助者的男性和女性更有可能獲得拓展性的工作以及升職加薪。
Unfortunately for women, men often have an easier time acquiring and maintaining these relationships.
遺憾的是，通常在尋找贊助者及維持此類關(guān)系方面，男性比女性要容易得多。
