Passage Two
第二篇文章
Today, many large corporations stress the importance of diversity on their websites, but current statistics show that the typical manager in America still tends to be white and male.
今天，许多大公司在网站上强调多元化的重要性，但目前的统计数据表明，美国典型的经理仍然倾向于白人和男性。
Obviously, the desire to bring about diversity has not translated into corporate reality. Why is this?
显然，实现多元化的愿望尚未在公司中成为现实。为什么会这样？

On the other hand, they assume that it might be difficult to work with someone who has completely different views, speaks a different language, or has a different style of work.
另一方面，他们认为可能很难与观点完全不同的人合作，他们讲着不同的语言，有不同的工作方式。
The actual value they attribute to diversity depends on the decision-making perspective.

Doubts about the practicability of diversity have a greater weight if a person is directly affected.
如果一个人受到直接影响，那么对多元化实用性的质疑就越大。
In other words, when a person's own work group is involved, they tend to prefer team members who are similar to themselves.
