The emphasis on finding a mentor became especially clear to me when I went back to speak at Harvard Business School in the spring of 2011.
2011年春天，我回到哈佛商学院做演讲时，已相当清楚导师的重要性。
I was invited by Dean Nitin Nohria, who joined me onstage and conducted the interview.
邀请我做演讲的尼廷·诺瑞亚院长也和我一起上台，并对我进行了采访。
His first questions centered on Facebook and what it was like to work for Mark.
他的第一个问题关注的是脸谱网以及我为马克·扎克伯格工作的感觉如何。
I told him that I loved it, except on days when coworkers said things like, "Sheryl, can you look at this?
我告诉他我非常热爱这份工作，除了有些时候同事们会说“谢丽尔，你能看看这个吗？

Dead silence in the large auditorium.
这时，观众席上一片静寂。
I continued, "I'm sorry if this sounds harsh or surprises anyone, but this is where we are.
我继续说道，“如果我的话听起来很刺耳或让你震惊，我很抱歉。不过事实就是如此，
If you want the outcome to be different, you will have to do something about it."
若想要结果有所不同，你们就要立刻采取行动。”
On that strained note, Dean Nohria ended the interview and turned to the audience for a Q&A.
就在这段让气氛略显尴尬的采访结束之后，便进入了现场问答环节。
A number of men leapt to the microphone and posed thoughtful, big-picture questions like
有不少男性观众很快就凑到话筒前提出了引人深思的问题，比如：
"What did you learn at Google that you are applying at Facebook?" and "How do you run a platform company and ensure stability for your developers?"
“你在谷歌学到并且还能在脸谱网运用的东西是什么？”，“你如何管理一个平台型公司并保证开发队伍的稳定性？”
