"A Seat at the Table" Isn't the Solution for Gender Equity | Lilly Singh | TED

譯者: Karen Feuerstein 審譯者: Shelley Tsang 曾雯海

So when I was born on September 26, 1988,

我出生於1988年9月26日，

my grandparents and great grandparents back in India

我在印度的祖父母、曾祖父母，

didn't find out for two weeks,

兩個禮拜以來都不知情，

which is a shame because I mean, look how perfect I was.

這真是太可惜了。我的意思是， 看看我多完美。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

And it's not because the phone lines were down

而這並不是因為電話線壞了

or because they weren't available.

或他們住在偏遠地區。

It's because there was a complication with my birth.

而是因為我出生時有合併症。

And that complication was being assigned female at birth.

這個合併症就是出生即為女性。

You see, because my mom had been told that if she gave birth to a daughter,

你知道嗎，我的母親被告知， 如果生了女孩，

it wasn't worth phoning home about.

不值得告知家人。

After all, she’d already given birth to my older sister,

畢竟她已經生了姐姐，

and this time everyone had high hopes that she would do right and have a son.

這次每個人對她賦予眾望， 認為她應該要生個男孩才對。

But she didn't.

但事與願違。

She had me.

她生了我。

And so there were no congratulations or Indian sweets sent our way.

所以並沒有任何祝賀 或是印度甜點送到我家。

Just the reality that from the moment I came into this world,

現實就是打從我來到這個世界，

I was already a disappointment to so many people.

已經讓很多人失望了。

It's as if they had a time machine

就像是他們有一台時光機，

and already knew the trajectory of my entire career and life

並且已經知道我整個人生 與職業的經歷，

and decided that I had less to offer.

然後決定我能給予的東西更少。

And it sucked.

這太糟了。

So why am I telling you this heavy story?

那為何我要告訴你們這個沉重的故事？

I'm supposed to be a funny person.

我應該是個風趣的人。

I have the nerve to come out here and hit you right in the feels.

我有勇氣站上台， 並給你們正確的感受。

How dare I?

我怎麼敢這麼講？

I'm telling you this because although this is my lived experience,

就讓我告訴你們， 因為這雖然是我的生命經驗，

it's also the reality that millions of girls face every day

但也確實是成千上萬的女孩每天要面對的，

across every culture and in every country.

不論是在哪個國家、哪種文化。

And I'm telling you this because being born into this reality

讓我告訴你們， 因為出生在這現實社會，

set me on a lifetime mission of trying to prove myself

給了我要證明自己的終身使命，

and just feel like I was enough.

僅是讓我感到滿足。

What did I want to be when I grow up?

當我長大成人後想要當什麼？

I wanted to be treated equally.

我想被平等地對待。

And I'm not alone in this mission.

而我並不孤單。

In fact, us girls, what we desperately want

事實上，我們女性所渴望的，

is a seat at the table.

就是擁有一席之地。

It's what every motivational poster, Tumblr post, Instagram account you follow,

這就是你追蹤的那些勵志標語、 社群貼文、社群帳號，

business card tells us:

告訴我們的：

Success is a seat at the table.

成功就是擁有一席之地。

And if they want to be extra spicy,

如果他們想要更辛辣一點，

they say, "If there is no seat, drag your own seat."

就會說，「如果沒有位置了， 就自己創造。」

I'm sure you've heard this, right?

我相信你們有聽過這些，對吧？

And so my marching orders were clear.

而我的目標非常清楚。

Get a seat at this coveted table by any means necessary.

不論用什麼方式， 都要得到這令人垂涎的地位。

And that's been the driving force behind my entire career.

這是我整個職業生涯的驅動力。

Now, in 2010,

在2010年，

I noticed that no one on YouTube looked like me.

我注意到在YouTube上沒有 像我一樣的人。

There was no South Asian woman who's very loud and uses her hands a lot,

沒有一位很敢講並且 實際操作的南亞女人，

giving her take on the world.

讓她被世界了解。

There was no me in front of a camera.

鏡頭前沒有我。

I saw a seat up for grabs.

我看見了可以把握的機會。

So I got to work, and I started a channel under the name “Superwoman.”

所以我開始動工， 設立了「女超人」這個頻道。

Yeah, because although I’m smart enough to do a TED Talk,

是呀，雖然我夠聰明能做TED演講，

I'm not smart enough to understand copyright.

但對於版權是一竅不通。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

I taught myself how to write,

我自學寫腳本，

shoot and edit my own content.

拍攝、剪輯內容都靠自己。

And I worked really hard.

我非常勤奮在工作。

When I finally got the hang of it,

當我終於抓到訣竅，

I committed to posting two comedy videos a week.

我承諾每周發布兩個喜劇影片。

And I found success.

而我成功做到了。

With a backwards snapback on my head,

從後來的反應向前看去，

I gave my take on relationships, pop culture, taboo subjects

我對人際關係、流行文化、 禁忌議題等做討論，

and, most popularly, dressed up like my parents.

最紅的是打扮成我的爸媽。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

I can't tell you how many times I forgot to wipe that chest hair off.

我無法告訴你們 我忘了擦掉胸毛幾次。

A lot of times.

是很多次。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

Now fast forward to 2015,

現在跳轉至2015年，

and I'm on stage in India announcing my first world tour.

我在印度的表演上宣布了我的 第一次世界巡演。

As fate would have it,

如命運所願，

the day after this monumental milestone,

在經過這偉大的里程碑之後，

I was set to fly to Punjab, India

我飛往印度的彭加邦，

to visit my grandfather for the first time in my adult life.

與我的祖父, 在我長大成人後 第一次見面。

And whoo, nothing could have prepared me

哇喔，對於將要發生的事， 我根本沒有心理準備。

for what was about to happen.

I vividly remember it.

我仍記憶猶新。

I was in the car driving to his house.

我正在開車前往他家的路上，

He was standing outside.

他就站在門口。

I nervously got out of the car, walked up to him.

我緊張地下車並走向他。

He walked up to me, looked me right in the eyes,

他走向我，直勾勾的 與我相視，

and he raised his hand

然後他舉起手，

and decorated me with a flower garland:

為我戴上了花圈：

a gesture fit for people of importance.

這是專門給重要之人的手勢。

He then proceeded to welcome me into his home, my mom by my side,

接著他歡迎我進入家裡， 我媽就在我旁邊，

and proceed to show me all the newspaper clippings he had saved

然後將他保存的所有新聞 剪報展示給我看，

with my name and face on them.

上面是我的名字及身影。

He said the words he was wrong.

他說他錯了。

Words I had never heard a man say before to me.

一句我從未從男人口中聽過 對我說的話。

He said that I had done what no one else could have done,

他說我做了沒人能做到的事，

and I had made the family name proud.

光宗耀祖。

Me, Lilly, the baby born a girl.

我，莉莉，一個女孩。

That's right.

沒錯。

Now in that moment I truly felt like Superwoman.

當時我真的感覺自己像是女超人。

I did.

真的。

You know, through my YouTube videos,

你知道嗎，透過我的YouTube影片，

I've amassed almost 15 million subscribers and three billion views.

我累積了1500萬的粉絲 和30億次觀看數。

But more important than all of that,

但比那些更重要的是，

I managed to change one view.

我改變了觀點。

I challenged my grandfather's entrenched gender beliefs.

我改變了祖父根深蒂固的性別觀念。

And for the first time in my life, I remember thinking in that moment,

我記得那是人生中第一次有這念頭，

“Oh, I finally got a seat at the table ...”

「噢，我終於出人頭地了...」

Hello, props.

嗨，小道具。

(Laughter)

(笑聲)

" ... alongside the men in the industry.”

「但是在業界的男人身旁。」

I felt like that.

這就是我的感受。

And encouraged by my grandfather's approval,

被祖父的贊同所鼓勵，

I became more confident in my influence.

我對自身的影響力更有自信。

I remember thinking, "Oh, I'm going to talk at this table,

我想，「我將在這張桌上談論，

I'm going to join the dinner conversation."

我要加入晚餐聚會。」

You know, a lot of my male mentors make comments and posts

你知道，大多我的男導師 發表評論或貼文，

about box office numbers and salaries and titles

討論票房數、薪水、頭銜

and those dollar dollar bills.

和那些錢的事情。

So I thought,

我想，

I'm going to chime in here.

我要在這裡發聲。

I learned very quickly that whenever I spoke of money,

每當提到錢的時候， 我學得非常快，

people got a little uncomfortable.

人們會有點不太愉快。

Like the time I pointed out the gender gap

就像那次我指出富比士 網路創作者名單中的性別差異，

in the Forbes list for online creators,

a list I'd previously been on.

我以前曾上過那名單。

I remember wanting to start a critical conversation

我記得我想要召開緊急會議，

because I saw this article and I was heartbroken.

因為我看到這個文章時， 我心碎了。

You know, the digital space had always been a place

你知道，我總是以為網路

that I thought was without gatekeepers.

是沒有守門員的。

And here it was looking just like old Hollywood.

這看起來像是舊時的好萊塢。

Well, let me tell you, the internet was not interested.

讓我告訴你，網路並不是那麼有趣。

I don't know how it's possible,

我不知道怎麼可能，

but it literally felt as if Twitter leaped through my screen

字面上看來，感覺像推特穿過我的螢幕，

and body slammed me onto my desk.

把我打回我原本的位置上。

The message was clear:

訊息非常清楚：

you can be on this list,

你能在這名單上，

but don't try to start any conversations about the inequality on this list.

但別想嘗試討論任何關於 名單上的不平等。

I have thousands and thousands of videos.

我發布成千上萬的影片。

One of my most disliked videos is why I’m not in a relationship.

我最不喜歡的影片之一是， 為何我沒有談戀愛。

Yeah.

是啊。

A lot of the men at the table did not like me telling them

很多那些成功的男人都不喜歡聽到我說

why I didn't need a boyfriend.

為什麼我不需要男朋友。

I quickly learned

我迅速發覺

that there’s an invisible gatekeeper called culture,

有個隱形的守門人叫傳統，

and the table is smack dab in the middle of it.

它存在這份文化中。

Now, in 2019,

現在，2019年，

I made history with my late-night show,

我在我的深夜脫口秀締造歷史，

“A Little Late with Lilly Singh.”

「與莉莉‧辛共度夜晚」

Thank you, thank you.

謝謝，謝謝各位。

(Applause)

(掌聲)

There I was, Lilly, the baby born a brown girl,

我，莉莉，深皮膚的小女孩，

rubbing elbows, or at least time slots,

揉著眉， 在喜劇傳統

with comedy royalty.

的最後一個時段裏。

And I got to give a huge shout out to NBC

我必須向NBC新聞網大聲疾呼，

for boldly trying to break late-night tradition.

因為它試著大膽的打破夜間秀的傳統。

I remember when the show came out,

我記得當節目播出，

I remember all the articles because they looked practically identical.

我記得所有的文章， 因為他們看起來幾乎相同。

"Bisexual Woman of Color Gets Late-Night Show."

「有色人種的雙性戀女性有深夜秀了。」

I almost legally changed my name to "bisexual woman of color"

我差點要去把名字改成 「有色人種的雙性戀女」，

because that's what people called me so often.

因為那些人太常這麼叫我了。

And you know, as strange as that sentiment was, I thought, OK,

你知道，儘管那感受很奇怪， 但我想，好吧，

the silver lining is that we'll finally get a different perspective in late-night.

我們最終會在深夜秀有不同的看法 是我的一線希望。

A little bit of melanin, a dash of queer,

一點點黑色， 一點點古怪，

a different take on things.

一點對事物的改變。

Let's do this!

就這麼做吧！

And I remember thinking,

我還記得想著，

"Now, oh, now I've been invited to the big table.

「噢，我被邀請登上這殿堂了，

And now things will be different."

事情開始會變得不同。」

So I took my seat.

我做了我該做的事。

Now, unfortunately,

不幸地，

the budget wasn't based on the importance or significance

預算並不是基於在節目 的重要性或意義，

or historic nature of the show.

或節目的歷史性質。

It was based on the 1:30am time-slot that we had.

是基於凌晨1:30的收視率。

So to say the budget was small,

所以說預算很少，

the writing staff even smaller,

寫手更少，

and to do the first season,

節目的第一季，

I had to shoot 96 episodes of late-night television in three months.

我要在三個月內錄製九十六集 的深夜秀。

Audience: Whoo.

觀眾：哇。

LS: Whoo is right.

莉莉：沒錯。

To put that into perspective,

從這角度來看，

that is shooting two to three episodes a day

一天要拍攝二至三集，

versus the network standard of one a day,

用網路的標準來比就是 一天一支影片，

maybe two on Thursday.

星期四可能是兩支。

We did it all with a writing staff of about half a dozen writers

我們與大約六位寫手一起配合做，

versus the network standard that's about double that.

用網路的標準來比大約是兩倍。

Words cannot explain to you how exhausting,

言語無法表達那有多疲累，

emotionally and spiritually challenging that was.

非常挑戰精神和心態狀態。

And I started to feel like,

我開始這麼想，

"Hm, I think this chair's a little wobbly."

「嗯，我想這個位置有點難坐穩喔。」

Now, I think we can all agree

現在我想我們都能同意，

that the beauty and magic of late-night is its timeliness.

深夜秀的迷人之處就是它是即時性的。

You know that no matter what's happening in the world,

無論世界上發生什麼事，

you can turn on late-night television and hear all about it.

你打開電視收看深夜秀就能知道。

But when you shoot 96 episodes in three months,

但當你三個月內拍攝九十六集，

you kind of lose that magic.

你會覺得有點失去那種魔力了。

I was the only show talking about hooking up, partying, cuddling, traveling,

我是唯一在現場觀眾前討論 親密關係、聚會、旅行的節目，

in front of a live audience during a literal global pandemic.

在全球新冠病毒的流行期間。

Now, still, I thought,

我想現在仍然如此，

if the budget doesn't celebrate the historicness of the show,

如果節目預算不能跟上這個 節目的歷史性質，

then the creative can.

這個生產力可以。

I can bring some much needed spice to late-night.

我能為深夜秀帶來不少 大家想要的辛辣話題。

And sometimes I was successful.

有時會成功。

But other times,

但其他時候，

I would receive notes like,

我會收到以下這樣的訊息，

"Don't be so loud."

「閉嘴。」

"Don't be so big."

「別自以為了。」

"Don't be so angry, smile more."

「不要這麼生氣，笑一個。」

And my all time favorite,

而這是我最愛的訊息，

"Don't overindex on the South Asian stuff."

「別過度評論南亞的事物。」

After all, everyone else at the table who's been sitting there for years,

畢竟，在這舞台上的人資歷很長，

people are used to them.

人們都習慣了。

I might be a little jarring to audiences.

對觀眾來說我可能有點不合適。

Now, during season two of my show,

節目的第二季，

I remember I went into overdrive.

我記得我走火入魔。

I found all the loopholes, I did all the necessary jobs

我找出所有漏洞， 做了必要的工作，

to try to make the show more timely.

為了讓演出更即時。

And I was excited to.

我很興奮。

And I felt compelled to because for the first time in history,

我不得不這麼做， 因為這是歷史上首次，

we had a woman, not to mention half South Asian woman,

我們有個女性， 更別說是半個南亞女性，

become vice president of the United States.

成為了美國的副總統。

Now we witnessed one of the greatest protests in human history

我們已經親眼見證了 人類歷史最大的抗議，

with the farmer protests in India.

在印度農民的抗議。

And I was excited to finally give my take on these things.

我很興奮終於可以分享 我自己的觀感。

But my take was almost never included

但是我的觀感幾乎不被包括

in topical media news coverage round-ups.

在熱門新聞報導裏的綜合敍述之中。

You know, we still got the same voices,

你知道， 我們仍有一些話語聲，

the same perspectives,

相同的觀點，

even though someone and something different

經由別人和一些不同的

was literally in the next time slot.

觀點在不同的時段裏。

I kept trying to pull up my seat.

我試著找到自己的一席之地。

I kept trying to join the dinner conversation.

我持續試著加入晚餐的話題。

I kept trying to ask for a more supportive seat.

我持續試著找到更多的支持 在這一席之地。

But every time I would be told

但每次我都被告知

that I should be grateful to have a seat in the first place.

我應該感激我原來就會 得到的機會。

After all, everyone else that looks like me

更何況， 每個長得像的人

is still waiting outside the restaurant in the cold.

還在餐廳之外的冷風中等待著。

You know, the strange thing about having a wobbly seat

你知道關於這個搖晃的位置 的奇怪的事情是

is that you spend so much time trying to keep it upright

你必須要花更多的時間 讓它保持直立狀態，

that you can never bring your full self to the table.

你永遠無法將自己完整呈現。

So now, why am I telling you all this?

我為何現在告訴你們這件事?

Well, because my therapist costs 200 dollars an hour

因為我的治療師花費２００美金一小時，

and this is way cheaper.

這裏比較便宜。

(Laughter)

（笑聲)

But also because I just experienced

只是因為我剛經歷了

one of the most notorious boys' clubs ever in late-night television.

在深夜脫口秀裏最惡名昭彰的 男性俱樂部。

And I'm here to offer solutions.

我在這裏提供解決方式。

I don't always follow up a venting session with solutions,

我並不總是跟進解決方案 的發洩會議，

but when I do, it’s a TED Talk.

若要做到， 是在TED演講裏。

(Laughter)

（笑聲)

That's right.

就是如此。

(Applause)

（掌聲)

You see, my goal was always a seat at the table.

你看我的目標就是得到一席之地。

It's what women are conditioned to believe success is.

是女性考慮到成功是何物。

And when the chair doesn't fit,

當這個位置不合適，

when it doesn't reach the table, when it's wobbly,

無法到逹重要的桌子， 當它搖搖晃晃，

when it's full of splinters,

當它充滿的不平順的地方，

we don't have the luxury of fixing it or finding another one.

我們没有空去修理或找到另一個位置。

But we try anyways.

但是我們試著去做。

We take on that responsibility, and we shoulder that burden.

我們把這個負擔扛在肩上。

Now, I've been fortunate enough to sit at a few seats,

現在我已經夠幸運可以 坐在一些位置上，

at a few different tables.

在一些不同的桌位上。

And what I've learned is, when you get the seat,

我學到的是， 當你得到這個位置，

trying to fix the seat won't fix the problem.

試著調著位置是無法修正問題的。

Why?

為什麼呢?

Because the table was never built for us in the first place.

因為這個桌子從來不是為我們 女性所設立的。

The solution?

解決方式是?

Build better tables.

設立更好的桌子。

(Applause)

（鼓掌）

So, allow me to be your very own IKEA manual.

讓我成為自己的宜家家居手冊。

I would like to present to you a set of guidelines

我要向你展示一整套的作業方式，

I very eloquently call:

可以雄辯的呼籲：

“How to Build a Table that Doesn’t Suck”.

＂怎麼創造一個不爛的桌子“。

(Laughter)

（笑聲)

I've been told I'm very literal.

有人告訴我， 我很直白。

Now, right off the bat, let me tell you,

現在我可以直接跟你說，

this assembly is going to take more than one person

這個組合必須是需要比一個人還多，

or group of people.

或是一組人。

It's going to take everyone.

它必需用到每個人。

Are you ready? Should we dive in?

你準備好了嗎? 我們要開始了？

Let's do it.

一起來做吧。

Up first,

首先，

don't weaponize gratitude.

不要把感恩這事當成武器。

Now, don't get me wrong, gratitude is a great word.

現在別弄錯了， 感恩是一個很棒的字。

It's nice, it's fluffy, a solid 11 points in Scrabble.

它很好，很有力，可以 在拼字遊戲裏得到11分。

However, let's be clear.

但是， 讓我們清楚一點。

Although gratitude feels warm and fuzzy,

感恩在這裏感覺很温暖也毛絨絨的，

it's not a form of currency.

卻不是貨幣的正確形式。

Women are assigned 10 percent more work

女性被付予多於百分之十的工作，

and spend more time on unrewarded,

花更多的時間在没有回報的事情當中。

unrecognized and non-promotable tasks.

無法識別和不被升遷的工作上。

Basically, what this means is

基本上， 那表示

all the things men don't want to do are being handed to women,

所有男人不想做的事被 分派到女性身上，

and a lot of those things largely include things that advance inclusivity,

而很多這些事情是包含了可以 促進在工作場所的公平

equity and diversity in the workplace.

和多樣性,這樣包容性的事物。

So hear me when I say,

所以聽著, 當我說

a woman shouldn't be grateful to sit at a table.

女性不應該對占有一席之地 而感到感激。

She should be paid to sit at a table.

她應該被付費來占有一席之地。

(Applause)

(鼓掌)

Especially ones she largely helped build.

特別是那位大力幫忙建立的女性。

And a woman's seat shouldn't be threatened if she doesn't seem "grateful" enough.

女性的席位不應該受到威脅, 如果她看起來似乎不夠“感激“。

In other words, corporations,

另一方面來說, 合作，

this step involves a woman doing a job

這一步驟需要女性投入工作,

and being paid in money, opportunity and promotion,

並且需要被支薪, 機會和升遷,

not just gratitude.

並不只是感激。

And women -- yeah, go ahead, live it up, live your life.

而女性, 是的, 儘量發展, 活出自我來。

(Applause)

(鼓掌)

And women, a moment of real talk,

女性, 說實在話，

trust me, I've been there and I know it's so tough,

我曾在那狀態中, 相信我 它非常的困難,

but we have to understand and remember that being grateful

但是我們必須了解和記住感激,

and being treated fairly are not mutually exclusive.

並且被公平的對待不是 互相排斥的。

I can be grateful but still know exactly what I deserve.

我可以感激, 但是也確切知道 這是我應得的。

And that's the way to do it.

就是要這樣來做。

(Applause)

(鼓掌)

Up next, invest in potential.

下一件事, 投資在潛力上。

When investing in women,

當投資在女性身上，

don’t invest in the 1:30am time slot.

不是投資在清晨1點30分這個時段上。

Invest in empowering something different.

投資在不一樣的有力事物上。

Invest in a new voice.

投資在一個新的聲音。

Give them the support they actually need.

給她們實際需要的支持。

Cultural change takes time and money.

文化的改變需要時間和金錢。

Heck, it took my grandfather 25 years to see that I was worthy of more.

它花了我的祖父二十五年來看到 我是有價值的。

So a true investment is one that values potential over proof.

因此真正要投資在一個可以 證明價值濳力的人。

Because so often that proof doesn't exist for women.

因為經常這個證明上 女性並不存在。

Not because we aren't qualified,

並不因為我們不夠格，

but because we haven't been given the opportunity.

而是因為我們没有被提供 這個機會。

In other words,

可以這樣說，

if you're trying to be inclusive,

如果你不試著要被包含在這裏面，

don't give someone new a seat made of straw

不給這個新人一個機會，

until they prove they deserve a better one.

讓她們能夠去證明她們 值得更好的位置。

Don't hold something called a "prove it again" bias,

不要堅持一個叫“再次證明“ 的偏見，

which requires less privileged people to constantly keep proving themselves,

要求那些比較没有優勢的人, 持續的去證明她們自己。

even though white men tend to get by on just their potential.

即便白人男性往往因為他們的 潛力而能過的去。

Give them a seat that they can thrive in,

給她們一個可以蓬勃發展的位子，

that they can do the job you hired them to do in.

你雇用她們去做她們可以做的工作，

Allow them to contribute to the table,

准許她們在這個席位上做出貢獻，

and they will make it better.

她們會做的更好。

Up next, this is my favorite one.

下件事是我最喜歡的一個。

My favorite one, it's quite common sense, actually.

我最喜歡的一件事其實 是一個常識。

Make space for us.

給我們一空間。

You know, for every three men at a table,

你知道, 每三個男性佔住位置，

there's only one place setting for a woman.

只有一個位子是留給女性的。

People are so used to more men showing up that they plan for it.

人們習慣於他們計劃更多的 男性在出現。

There's an extra seat in the corner, there's a steak under the heat lamp.

在角落總是有更多更好的 多餘位子。

When more men show up, the table gets longer.

當更多的男性出現時, 這個桌子 的席位就會增加。

But when that extra RSVP is a woman,

但是當一個有事先預定的女性出現，

more often than not

通常就不是如此了。

she's encouraged to compete against the only other woman

她被鼓勵要和受邀到這個席位的

that was invited to the table.

另一個女性競爭。

Instead, we need to build multiple seats for multiple women,

反而, 我們應該給不同的女性 有更多的席位。

not just one or two,

不是只有一, 二個，

so that women are not sitting on top of each other's laps,

因此女性不會坐在彼此的腿上，

fighting for one meal.

只為了一頓飽餐。

We already know that more diverse teams perform better.

我們已經知道多變的圑體 可以表現的更好。

A recent study shows

最近的一個研究顯示，

that corporations that have more gender diversity

性別多樣他們的圑隊中

on their executive teams,

可以有更多的合作。

were 25 percent more likely to experience above average profitability.

甚至多逹平均值的百分之 二十五以上，

And more racially diverse companies had 36 percent more profit.

而有更多的種族的公司, 會多出百分之三十六的利潤。

So really, no matter how you look at it,

真的, 無論你從哪一個角度看來，

it's time to build longer tables and more seats.

是時候的增加更多的席位了。
