So for a young person who is trying to figure out how they would pursue this career path even though not many people look like them.
所以对于一个年轻人来说，该如何试图找出追求这个职业道路，尽管没有多少人跟他们相似。
And it's worth it, I think to stick to your dream, even if it means you're more paying it forward than paying it back.
我认为坚持你的梦想是值得的，尽管这意味着你更多地是在付出且大于回报。
【正文】
For people who don’t see themselves represented in mainstream science, so that would be woman and people from underrepresented minority background.
针对那些在主流科学中看不到自己领域里具有代表性的人，比如女性和来自少数族裔背景的人。
For those folks, first of all I will say when I was young, I did not see myself represented. I did not see woman, successful woman scientists who were decades older than me.They’re just weren’t enough for me to find them.
对于这些人，我要说的是，首先，当我年轻的时候，我并没有看到自己的行业具有代表性的人。我没有看到比我年长几十年的成功的女性科学家。她们实在太少了，以至于我都找不到她们。
So I know what it feels like to feel like you could never belong in a place. And then what happened was a few people here and there opened the doors for me.
所以我知道那种感觉，感觉自己永远无法融入某个地方。但后来，一些人逐渐为我打开了大门。
And I had the great benefit of being born into a family where science was encouraged. So I didn't grow up thinking I couldn't be a scientist. It was only later that I worried about whether I would find my way.
我很幸运地生在一个学习科学受到鼓励的家庭，所以我从小就没有认为自己不能成为一名科学家。只是后来我担心自己能否找到自己的道路。
So for a young person who is trying to figure out how they would pursue this career path even though not many people look like them.
所以对于一个年轻人来说，该如何试图找出追求这个职业道路，尽管没有多少人跟他们相似。
【一】
I will say first of all, now that we live in a globally connected world, where people can get on the internet and find information they couldn't have found in their backyard.
首先我要说，现在我们生活在一个全球互联的世界，在这个世界上，人们可以上网查找他们在自家找不到的信息。
You can find the role models you're looking for. They are out there. You just might have to look a little harder than the room you walk into.
你可以找到你一直在寻找的榜样。他们肯定是存在的，只是你可能需要比你所处的环境中更加努力地去寻找。
So take the time to look online and do your research and find out who are the scientists that remind you of yourself.
They're definitely there.
所以请花时间上网搜索并了解哪些专家让你想起了自己。首先，他们肯定在那里。
【二】
Second of all, find your advocates. Somewhere along the way, all of us had a handful of people who stood up for us. And if you can find a few of those people, they might be family members, they might be school teachers, maybe a neighbor even or maybe someone they meet at an event.
其次，找到你的支持者。在我们的人生中，总有一些会站出来为我们发声的人。如果你能找到其中的一些人，他们可能是家庭成员、学校老师，甚至可能是邻居或者是在某个活动中结识的人。
If you can find just a few people that can really help your confidence, I think.
如果你能找到几个这样的人，真的可以帮你提高自信心。我认为这会很有帮助。
【三】
And then finally, as hard as it might feel to break into an environment where you feel you don't belong, there will be a chance for you to pay it forward.
最后，尽管在一个你觉得自己无法融入的环境中打入自己的一片天地可能会很困难，但你也将有机成为自己想成为的人。
And you might not find a lot of people in your own generation, but if you pay it forward, they'll be a next generation that follows you that will be larger, more robust and more energized.
也许你的同代人中没有太多这样的人，但如果你先付出，下一代人就会继承你的经验，这样的意义会更大、更稳固、更有活能量。
And it's worth it, I think to stick to your dream, even if it means you're more paying it forward than paying it back.
我认为坚持你的梦想是值得的，尽管这意味着你更多地是在付出且大于回报。
