So for any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky. We don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited. And if you're in this room today, most of us grew up in a world where we had basic civil rights, and amazingly, we still live in a world where some women don't have them. But all that aside, we still have a problem, and it's a real problem. And the problem is this: Women are not making it to the top of any profession anywhere in the world. The numbers tell the story quite clearly. 190 heads of state -- nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, 13 percent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top, C-level jobs, board seats -- tops out at 15, 16 percent. The numbers have not moved since 2002 and are going in the wrong direction. And even in the non-profit world, a world we sometimes think of as being led by more women, women at the top: 20 percent.
今天在座的各位，我们先承认我们是幸运的。我们没有生活在我们母亲和我们祖母生活过的那个世界，在那时女性的职业选择是非常有限的。今天在座的各位，大多数人成长于一个女性有基本公民权的世界。令人惊讶的是我们还生活在一个有些女性还没有这些权利的世界。但除上所述，我们还有一个问题，它是一个实际问题，这问题是：在世界各地，女性没担任任何职业的高管职位。这些数据很清楚地告诉我们这实情。190个国家元首里，九位是女性领导。在世界上议会的总人数中，13%是女性议员。在公司部门，女性占据高位，C级职位，董事会席位——高管职位比例占15%，16%。 自从2002年起这数据没变化过，且有下降趋势。即使在非营利行业，我们有时认为这一行业会有更多女性领导者，但女性领导人只占20%。
We also have another problem, which is that women face harder choices between professional success and personal fulfillment. A recent study in the U.S. showed that, of married senior managers, two-thirds of the married men had children and only one-third of the married women had children. A couple of years ago, I was in New York, and I was pitching a deal, and I was in one of those fancy New York private equity offices you can picture. And I'm in the meeting -- it's about a three-hour meeting -- and two hours in, there kind of needs to be that bio break, and everyone stands up, and the partner running the meeting starts looking really embarrassed. And I realized he doesn't know where the women's room is in his office. So I start looking around for moving boxes, figuring they just moved in, but I don't see any. And so I said, "Did you just move into this office?" And he said, "No, we've been here about a year." And I said, "Are you telling me that I am the only woman to have pitched a deal in this office in a year?" And he looked at me, and he said, "Yeah. Or maybe you're the only one who had to go to the bathroom."
我们还面临着另一个问题，就是女性在职业成功和个人价值实现中所面临的艰难选择。美国最近一个研究表明，在已婚高管人员中，三分之二的已婚男性高管人员有孩子，只有三分之一的已婚女性高管人员有孩子。几年前，我到纽约去谈一个协议，在一个你能想象到的那种别致的纽约私募投资办事处。我参加了这个会议——会议时常约有3小时——2小时后有去盥洗室的休息时间，所有人都站起来，会议组织者开始显得很尴尬。我意识到他不知道在他办公室哪里是女洗手间。所以我开始寻找移动厕所，想着他们可能刚搬进来，但我没有看到任何移动厕所。然后我说，“你是刚搬到这办公室吗？” 他说，“不是，我们在这儿已经有一年了。” 我说，“你能否告诉我这一年来，我是唯一一个来这间办公室的女性吗？” 他看着我，说到， “是的。或者说你可能是唯一一个要上女洗手间的。”
So the question is, how are we going to fix this? How do we change these numbers at the top? How do we make this different? I want to start out by saying, I talk about this -- about keeping women in the workforce -- because I really think that's the answer. In the high-income part of our workforce, in the people who end up at the top -- Fortune 500 CEO jobs, or the equivalent in other instries -- the problem, I am convinced, is that women are dropping out. Now people talk about this a lot, and they talk about things like flextime and mentoring and programs companies should have to train women. I want to talk about none of that today, even though that's all really important. Today I want to focus on what we can do as indivials. What are the messages we need to tell ourselves? What are the messages we tell the women who work with and for us? What are the messages we tell our daughters?
所以问题是，我们该怎样解决这样的尴尬？我们怎样改变这些高管职位的比例？我们怎样使这件事变得不一样？我首先想说，说说这个——女性就职——因为我确认这就是答案。在职场高收入群体中，在高管人员中——财富500强首席执行官，或其它行业的类似职业——我确信女性被排除在外。当下人们对此谈了很多，他们谈到像弹性工作制、指导和培训女性的计划。今天我不想谈这些，尽管这些都非常重要。今天我想谈的是作为个人我们能做什么。我们要告诉自己什么？ 我们要告诉女同事和女员工什么？我们要告诉女儿的事是什么？
Now, at the outset, I want to be very clear that this speech comes with no judgments. I don't have the right answer. I don't even have it for myself. I left San Francisco, where I live, on Monday, and I was getting on the plane for this conference. And my daughter, who's three, when I dropped her off at preschool, did that whole hugging-the-leg, crying, "Mommy, don't get on the plane" thing. This is hard. I feel guilty sometimes. I know no women, whether they're at home or whether they're in the workforce, who don't feel that sometimes. So I'm not saying that staying in the workforce is the right thing for everyone.
现在首先，我想澄清，这个演讲不带有任何评判。我也没有正确答案。甚至对我自己，我也没有完全的答案。在周一，我离开我生活的加利福尼亚，我坐上飞机赶赴这次会谈。当我送我三岁的女儿到幼儿园时，她紧紧抱紧我的腿，哭喊着“妈咪，不要上飞机”之类的话。这很难受。有时我感到内疚。我知道无论是家庭主妇，还是职业女性，有时她们都会感同身受。所以我不会说对所有人说，待在职场是件正确的事。
