I thought I had found success in 1989 when, after several years in the business, I arrived at 60 Minutes.
在新聞界工作幾年后，我于1989年去了“新聞60分”，我想我就是在那個時候獲得成功的。
I had just had our first son, Ben, and this was the only job I had ever truly coveted.
當時我剛剛有了第一個兒子，本，那才是我唯一真正夢寐以求的工作。
I quickly became the media's poster woman for having it all.
因為我什么都具備，很快我就成了這家媒體的招牌人物。
Except for one thing: the only thing I had was a constant knot in my stomach.
但有一件事除外：我心里常有一個結。
When I was traveling the world covering stories, I literally ached for my child.
那就是我到世界各地報道新聞的時候，我真的很想念我的孩子。
When I was home, I felt guilty not hanging around the corridors of CBS and chatting up my boss, Don Hewitt.
我在家的時候，又對自己沒有在CBS走廊里和老板唐·休伊特聊天而感到內疚。
Eventually, something had to give.
有些東西終究需要放棄。
I became pregnant with our second son Gabe,
之后我又懷上了第二個兒子加布，
and Don and I immediately butted heads over which baby should take precedence: his baby 60 Minutes, or mine.
唐立刻就哪個孩子應該有優先權和我爭論了起來，是他的《新聞60分》，還是我的孩子。
I remember sitting across from him when I suddenly had a flashback:
我記得坐在他對面時，以前發生的一幕突然閃現在我的腦海中：
Several years earlier, while still single and working my way up the ladder,
幾年前，我還是單身，處在事業的爬坡期，
I had grabbed drinks with a seasoned and respected female producer.
有一次我和一位經驗豐富、受人尊敬的女制片人一起喝酒。
After probably one too many, she confided in me that her biggest regret was never marrying or having children.
可能是酒喝多了，她向我吐露心扉，說自己最大的遺憾是沒有結婚生子。
Something she could not admit publicly -- it just wouldn't look good
這種事她不能公開說--說出來也不好，
but she had given everything for her job, including herself.
她把一切都奉獻給了工作，包括她自己。
Flash forward: Don probably thought I'd had one too many when I abruptly ended our heated conversation.
再回到剛才的場景：當我突然結束我們激烈的談話時，唐可能也以為我喝多了。
I believe the words I uttered as I walked out the door were, "I'm out of here."
我相信我走出門時說的是這么一句：“我不干了。”
Not very mature, but, that night I slept like a baby as the knot in my stomach unraveled.
那樣做不是很成熟，但是那天晚上我睡得像嬰兒一樣香甜，因為我的心結解開了。
