瑞典卡罗琳医学院10月5日宣布，将2015年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予中国女药学家屠呦呦，以及另外两名科学家威廉·坎贝尔和大村智。这是中国科学家因为在中国本土进行的科学研究而首次获诺贝尔科学奖，是中国医学界迄今为止获得的最高奖项，也是中医药成果获得的最高奖项!

被称为“三无科学家”（博士学位、留洋背景和院士头衔）的屠奶奶研究的青蒿素功效为何？挽救过多少人的性命？此前曾获得过何种荣耀？以及深挖背后那艰苦卓绝的研究历程，那是媒体的事，足以引起May点赞的是屠奶奶用“默默工作、贡献卓著”的事实告诉我们———永远不要因为“是女人”放弃！

以下是May为大家献上的以《永远不要因为是女人放弃》为题的TED演讲，这是今年7月28日美国著名女校维斯理学院（Wellesley College）邀请尼日利亚作家奇玛曼达·恩戈兹·阿迪契（Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie）在2015年毕业典礼上发表的演讲。阿迪契与即将踏入社会的女生们分享了她对女权主义的独到见解和一些人生建议，她说，“永远不要因为‘你是个女人’而去做什么或放弃什么。”（值得一提的是，希拉里.克林顿即毕业于此校哦）

演讲要点（献给女孩们）：

All overthe world, girls are raised to make themselves likeable, to twist themselvesinto shapes that suit other people. Please do not twist yourself into shapes toplease. Don't do it.

全世界的女孩都被教导要让自己惹人喜爱，改造自己去迎合他人，请不要这样做，千万不要。

If someone likesthat version of you, that version of you that is false and holds back, then theyactually just like that twisted shape, and not you. And the world is such agloriously multifaceted, diverse place that there are people in the world whowill like you, the real you as youare.

如果有人喜欢那样的你，那个虚假的有所隐瞒的你，那他们喜欢的只是那个虚影，而不是你。世界那么奇妙多样化，总有人会喜欢真实的你，那个你原本的样子。

Teach your students to see that vulnerability is a HUMAN rather than a FEMALEtrait. Commission magazine articles that teach men HOW TO KEEP A WOMAN HAPPY.Because there are already too many articles that tell women how to keep a manhappy.

教导你的学生，脆弱啊你的名字不止是女人。撰写教导男人取悦女人的杂志文章，因为已经有太多的文章教导女人如何取悦男人。

I don't speak toprovoke. I speak because our time on earth is short, and each moment that we arenot our truest selves, each moment we pretend to be what we are not, each momentwe say what we do not mean because we imagine that is what somebody want us tosay, then we are wasting our time on earth. I don't mean to sound precious, butplease don't waste your time onearth.

我发言不为挑衅，只因为生命太过短暂，而每一刻的逃避，每一刻的伪装，每一刻的言不由衷，都是在浪费自己的生命。我不是在炖鸡汤，但请不要浪费生命。

There are certain things my mother believes a person should do for the simplereason that sad person "is a woman". Such as occasionally nod and smile, evenwhen smiling is the last thing one wants to do. Such as strategically give in tocertain arguments, especially when arguing with a non-female. Such as getmarried and have children. I can think of fairly good reasons for doing any ofthese. But "because you are a woman" is not one of them. Never ever accept"because you are a woman" as a reason for doing or not doinganything.

我母亲认为，身为女人，就意味着有些事情不得不做。例如不时点头和微笑，即使她可能并不情愿；例如策略性地让步，尤其是在和男性争执的时候；例如结婚生子，我可以想出很多正当的理由去做这些事情，但绝不会因为“你是一个女人”。永远不要将“自己是一个女人”作为做或不做某件事的理由。

Now girls are often raised to see love only as giving. Women are praised fortheir love when that love is an act of giving. But to love is to give AND totake. Please love by giving and by taking. Give and be given. Dare totake.

现在的女孩把爱情视为奉献，女人因她们的给予之爱而倍加褒奖。但是爱意味着给予和索取。请记得在给予爱的同时也要索取爱。给予和被给予。勇敢去索取！
