   I had been at Google about three months when an uncomfortable situation erupted. 我在谷歌工作了3个月后,突然遭遇了让我很不自在的情况。


  I had started at the company reporting to Eric Schmidt but was transitioning to work for Omid Kordestani. 我的顶头上司开始是埃里克·施密特,然后我被调到了奥米德·柯德斯塔尼的手下。
  During that process, Omid and I had a major misunderstanding. 这个过程中我和奥米德之间产生了很大的误会。
  I went to discuss it with him, intending to explain calmly why I was upset, but as soon as I started talking, I burst into tears. 我去找他,打算冷静地解释一下我的想法,但刚一开始交谈我就忍不住流下了眼泪。
  I was horrified 1 to be crying in front of my new boss whom I barely knew—which just made more tears flow. 在几乎不认识的新老板面前哭,这件事让我倍感压力,因此我哭得更厉害了。
  But I got lucky. Omid was patient and reassuring 2, insisting, "Everyone gets upset at work. It's okay." 奥米德很有耐心,并安慰我说:“每个人在工作中都有不开心的时候,这没什么。”
  Most women believe—and research suggests—that it is not a good idea to cry at work. 大多数女性都认为(研究也显示),在工作的时候哭泣不是件好事。
  It is never something that I plan to do and is hardly recommended in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, 这根本不是我计划内的,《高效能人士的七个习惯》这本书里也没有这样的建议,
  but on those rare occasions when I have felt really frustrated 3, or worse, betrayed, tears have filled my eyes. 但有时候我实在是太过沮丧甚至有种被出卖的感觉,就忍不住委屈流泪。
  Even as I have gotten older and more experienced, it still happens every so often. 就算年纪越来越大,工作经验更加丰富,这种情况仍然会发生。
  I had been working at Facebook for almost a year when I learned that someone had said something about me that was not just false, but cruel. 在脸谱网工作了差不多一年之后,我发现有人在议论我,其言辞相当犀利而且不近人情。
  I started telling Mark about it and, despite my best efforts, started to cry. 我跟扎克伯格提起这件事,尽管努力克制,但我还是哭了。
  He assured me that the accusation 4 was so untrue that no one could possibly believe it. 他安慰我说,这种指责是无稽之谈,也没人会相信。
