The laws that protect women and minorities and people with disabilities, among others, from discrimination are essential,
法律當(dāng)然能保護(hù)女性、少數(shù)民族和殘疾人等群體的利益不遭受基本的損害，
and I am not suggesting they be circumvented.
我并不是在暗示這些法律都沒切中問題的要害，
But I have also witnessed firsthand how they can have a chilling effect on discourse,
但我的確親眼見到這些法律對雙方的交流起不到積極作用，
sometimes even to the detriment of the people they are designed to defend.
有時(shí)甚至還會(huì)傷害到它們原本想要保護(hù)的對象。
I don't have a solution to this dilemma and will leave it to public policy and legal experts to solve.
對于這個(gè)兩難問題，我也沒有最佳的解決辦法，就讓公共政策和法律方面的專家去琢磨吧。
I do think this is worth some serious attention so we can find a way to deal with these issues in a way that protects but doesn't suppress.
但是，我的確認(rèn)為這個(gè)問題值得好好思考，這樣我們才能找到一種具有保護(hù)性而非壓制性的解決方式。
Most people would agree that gender bias exists ... in others.
大多數(shù)人都會(huì)同意性別偏見的現(xiàn)象是存在的，當(dāng)然，它們往往存在于別人身上。
We, however, would never be swayed by such superficial and unenlightened opinions. Except we are.
不過，女性不能因?yàn)檫@種表面的、落后的看法而動(dòng)搖，除非我們自己也這么認(rèn)為。
Our preconceived notions about masculinity and femininity influence how we interact with and evaluate colleagues in the workplace.
對男性和女性各自特征先入為主的設(shè)想影響了我們在職場上和同事相處與評價(jià)同事的方式。
A 2012 study found that when evaluating identical resumes for a lab manager position from a male student and a female student,
2012年的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，當(dāng)一個(gè)男生和一個(gè)女生同時(shí)申請一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)室負(fù)責(zé)人的職位時(shí)，
Even though the students had the same qualifications and experience,
即使兩個(gè)人的資歷與經(jīng)驗(yàn)相同，
the scientists deemed the female student less competent and offered her a lower starting salary and less mentoring.
科學(xué)家也會(huì)認(rèn)為女生的能力弱一些，從而降低其起薪數(shù)額，所給予的相應(yīng)指導(dǎo)也會(huì)少一些。
Other studies of job applicants, candidates for scholarships, and musicians auditioning for orchestras have come to the same conclusion:
其他有關(guān)工作申請的研究也表明，
gender bias influences how we view performance and typically raises our assessment of men while lowering our assessment of women.
性別偏見影響了我們對個(gè)人表現(xiàn)的看法，特別是會(huì)提高對男性的評價(jià)，而降低對女性的評價(jià)。
