你可以这么做,如果这让你感觉不舒服,也许那个地方不适合你
Now, that is a very privileged comment to make, because if you have to pay your bills, you’re straightening your hair. You’re going to cover up the tattoo, you’re going to get rid of the piercings, you’re going to.
非常荣幸能对此进行评论,因为如果你不得不买单,那么,你要拉直你的头发
You know, now, there are some things people might say well that being more, we would like her more if she was a little whiter. I can’t do anything with my skin color.
有些人可能会说,如果她更像白人一点,我们会更喜欢她
I guess you can, but I’m not willing to go the cost of that is so high that most people are not willing to do that.
我想你有办法,但我不愿意去,因为成本太高,大多数人都不愿意这么做
But we do have instances of people who are willing to change their names, right?
不过,确实有人愿意改名的例子,对吧?
We’ve seen that quite a bit, specifically in the Asian community, right?
我们已经看到了很多这样的例子,特别是在亚洲社区, 对吧?

And what I want to get to is a place in the workforce where we are all able to bring who we authentically identify and describe ourselves as to the workforce and our colleagues and classmates embrace that. Rather than trying to get us to conform.
我想要的职场是,我们都能在职场带着真实身份、能如实地描述自我,我们的同事和同学也能接受这些,而不是试图让我们顺从规则
So aside from appearance, how else do we think about authenticity in the workplace?
除了外表,我们应该如何看待职场的真实性呢?
Well, it could be the way that you communicate. I was once told that I was too ethnic because I speak with my hands. But what was interesting is the clients loved me. They thought you’re such a great story teller.

If you can imagine a setting where you go in and you’re direct with your supervisor or with your subordinate or your colleague and you say listen. That was my idea in the meeting. We talked about it. Explain to me why you took credit for it.
如果你能想象一个场景,进入这个场景,你对你的上司、下属或同事都很直接
I could never imagine saying that.
我从没想过这么说话
Right. But ask yourself why. So some of it’s about personality, but I think in many professional contexts, you’re going to be considered bad if you actually advocate for yourself, especially if you do that in front of the group.

这有帮助吗,妮可? 因为这不仅仅是外表的问题,外表只是其中一个因素,因为我们会根据外表对人进行分类
