68And the more that I looked, the more that I found this pattern of compliance everywhere.我越看越看, 我发现这种遵守模式的地方。

70like not correcting the wrong coffee order,喜欢不纠正错误的咖啡订单,

74I've conducted studies across the UK and the US,我在英国和美国进行了研究
75two countries that pride themselves on independence, free thinking and agency.两个为独立、自由思维和代理而自豪的国家。
76And yet, even in the simplest of experiments, people comply at shockingly high rates.然而,即使在最简单的实验中,人们也以惊人的高率遵守.
77Here's one example.这里有一个例子。
78Imagine you're choosing between two different lotteries, A and B.想象一下,你在选择两个不同的彩票,A和B。

85Why?为什么?
86Because saying no, however justified,因为说不,无论多么合理,
87feels uncomfortable, awkward, confrontational,感觉不舒服,尴尬,对抗,
88and we've never been taught how to do it.而且我们从来没有被教过怎么做。
89We spend so much time fearing what might happen if we speak up.我们花了这么多时间 担心我们说话会发生什么事
90We forget to ask, what is the cost of staying silent?我们忘了问,保持沉默的代价是什么?
91And that cost, it's real.那笔钱是真的

98especially when we don't feel brave or powerful or ready,特别是当我们没有感到勇敢、强大或准备的时候,
99especially when we think of ourselves as the compliant type.特别是当我们认为自己是顺从型。

105My studies revealed a great disconnect between people's private preferences我的研究显示人们的私人喜好之间 有很大的脱节
106and their public compliance.和他们公开遵守。
107In private, when no one was watching, they chose what they truly wanted.在私下里,当没有人在看的时候,他们选择了他们真正想要的东西.
108But in public, under pressure, they comply.但是在公开场合,在压力下,他们服从.
109It wasn't that they didn't know what they wanted,不是他们不知道自己想要什么
110they just didn't know how to act on it.他们只是不知道如何行动
111And they misinterpreted what saying no means.他们误解了什么是无谓的。
112So after decades of research and observation, I came to a revelation.因此经过几十年的研究和观察,我终于找到了一个启示。
113We have misunderstood what it means to defy.我们误解了反抗的意义。
114The Oxford English Dictionary defines defiance牛津英语词典定义了藐视
115as challenging the power of another person openly and boldly.公开和大胆地挑战他人的权力。
116I'm not one to usually disagree with the Oxford English Dictionary.我不是一个通常不同意 牛津英语词典。
117I grew up in the UK after all.我毕竟是在英国长大的
118But I think this definition is too narrow and it doesn't honour our agency.但我认为这个定义太狭隘了,不尊重我们的机构.
119Defiance isn't just dominance or disruption.失败不仅仅是统治或破坏
120It's not rebellion for rebellion's sake.不为叛逆而叛逆.
121It's not boldness or aggression, nor does it require superhuman courage.这既不是大胆,也不是侵略,也不需要超人的勇气.
122My definition of defiance is simply acting in accordance with your true values,我对藐视的定义只是按照你真正的价值观行事
123especially when there is pressure to do otherwise.特别是有其他压力时
124It's not always aggressive.并非总有攻击性.
125It's not always bold, but it is deliberate and it is powerful.它并不总是大胆的,但它是故意的,是强大的.
126And when we redefine defiance in this way,当我们以这种方式重新定义藐视
127we move it from something negative, rare and risky,我们把它从 负面的,稀有的和危险的,
128to something positive, accessible, meaningful and even pro-social.给一些积极、可及、有意义甚至有利于社会的东西。
129Something that changes not just our character, but also our communities.不仅改变我们的性格,也改变我们的社区。
130So the question becomes, how do we know when to defy?所以问题就变成,我们怎么知道什么时候可以反抗?
131And just as importantly, how do we build the capacity to do it?同样重要的是,我们如何建立这样做的能力?
132That's what led me to develop what I call the Defiance Compass.所以我才研制出所谓的"叛逆指南针"
133It's a tool to help us find our way in those difficult situations.这是帮助我们在这些困难情况下找到出路的工具.
134In my research and book, Defy,在我的研究和著作中,德菲
135I bring together three questions into a simple, actionable guide.我将三个问题合并为一个简单、可操作的指南。
136Because when we make these questions explicit,因为当我们明确这些问题时
137we can start to defy with clarity, not confusion.我们可以明确地开始反抗,而不是混淆。
138The first question is, who am I?第一个问题是,我是谁?
139This grounds us in our values.这使我们有理由接受我们的价值观。
140It helps us remember what matters most.它帮助我们记住最重要的。
141Next, we can ask, what type of situation is this?接下来,我们可以问,这是什么情况?
142This helps us figure out if it's safe to speak up.这能帮助我们弄清楚 说话是否安全
143Will it be effective?它会有效吗?
144Will it have a positive impact?会产生积极影响吗?
145Finally, we can face the question, what does a person like me do最后,我们可以面对一个问题, 像我这样的人做什么
146in a situation such as this?在这样的情况下?
147This is the bridge between identity and action.这是身份和行动之间的桥梁。
148It helps us connect who we are with what we do.它帮助我们把我们的身份与我们的行为联系起来。
149And here's the key.这是关键
150That third question circles right back to the first.第三个问题就回到第一个
151Who am I?我是谁?
152Because how we act again and again becomes who we are.因为我们如何一次又一次地行动 变成我们自己
153That's why the Defiance Compass isn't just a decision-making tool.所以"败坏的指南针"不仅仅是一个决策工具.
154It's a practice, a loop, a way to become more of ourselves,这是一个练习,一个循环, 成为我们自己的方式,
155one choice at a time.一次一个选择
156I realized that's exactly what my mom did in the alley that way.我意识到这正是我妈妈在巷子里做的
157Looking back, I believe she asked herself those three questions,回想起来 我相信她问了自己这三个问题
158maybe not consciously, but deeply.也许不是自觉的,而是深深的。
159Who am I?我是谁?
160She was a mother, an immigrant, a woman who had endured years of slights.她是一个母亲,一个移民,一个经历过多年轻微经历的女人.
161And on that day, her identity aligned with her values.在那一天,她的身份与她的价值观一致。
162Dignity, respect, equality.尊严 尊重 平等
163What type of situation is this?这是什么情况?
164She saw that those boys were just boys.她看到那些男孩只是男孩。
165Loud, posturing, maybe even scared themselves.大声,装姿势,也许甚至吓着自己了
166It wasn't safe exactly, but it was possible.虽然不安全,但还是有可能的
167What does a person like me do in a situation like this?像我这样的人在这样的情况下会做什么?
168She chose to act, not because she was fearless, but because she was ready.她选择行动,不是因为她无所畏惧,而是因为她已经准备好了.
169And maybe because I was watching, she wanted to show me what defiance looked like.也许是因为我在看 她想给我看看什么是违抗
170So she stopped, turned, and looked at those boys in the eye.于是她停下来,转身, 看着那些男孩的眼睛。
171And she said, what do you mean?她说,你是什么意思?
172And she said it again.她又说了一遍
173What do you mean?你说什么?
174The boys didn't answer.男孩没有回答。
175So she continued, oh, yes, you think you're so clever.所以她继续,哦,是的,你觉得你很聪明。
176Big, strong, tough boys, right?大,强,强的男孩,对不对?
177Still silence.还是寂静.
178Until finally, one of the boys muttered, let's go.直到最后,一个男孩 哑巴,让我们去。
179And just like that, they dispersed.就这样,他们散开了。
180My mother, four foot ten in a sari, hair in a single plait,我的母亲,四英尺十英寸在莎丽, 头发在一个单格,
181grabbed the shopping cart and moved forward briskly, head high, sari flowing behind her.抢走购物车,向前冲,头高,莎丽在她身后流淌。
182No fanfare, no victory speech, just a woman who'd chosen to act in alignment with who she was.没有粉丝,没有胜利演讲, 只是一个女人谁选择 行动与她是谁。
183That single moment changed everything for me.那一刻改变了我的一切
184It cracked open the idea that defiance belonged only to a certain kind of person.它打开了一个想法,即藐视只属于某种人。
185Sometimes the people you think are the least likely to defy有时你认为最不可能反抗的人
186surprises most because they've been quietly practicing.最令人惊讶的是 他们一直在悄悄练习
187Even Rosa Parks, before she gave her famous no on that bus in Montgomery, Alabama,甚至罗莎·帕克斯 在阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利的公交车上
188had complied with segregation laws many times.多次遵守隔离法。
189Each defiant moment is often preceded by hundreds of moments of compliance.每一次违抗的时刻往往都有数百个遵守的时刻。
190So I realized, you don't need to be a certain type of person to defy.所以我意识到,你不需要 成为某种类型的人来反抗。
191You just have to be connected to what matters.你只需要和重要的事情联系起来
192And our values define what matters most to us, who we are and who we want to be.我们的价值观决定了什么对我们最重要,我们是谁,我们想成为什么样的人。
193And when we abandon them, we abandon ourselves.而当我们抛弃他们, 我们抛弃自己。
194We think we are staying safe,我们认为我们的安全,
195but we're actually drifting from who we are.但实际上我们正从我们的身份中漂移
196The most painful moments in life aren't when others betray us.生活中最痛苦的时刻 不是别人背叛我们的时候
197They're when we betray ourselves.是我们背叛自己的时候
198If we think defiance is only for the brave, we excuse ourselves from doing the work.如果我们认为违抗只是为了勇敢者,我们就原谅自己不做这项工作.
199Understanding that it is a skill and something we can train for,理解它是一种技能 和我们可以训练的东西,
200just like we train for anything else, is crucial.就像我们训练其他一切一样 至关重要
201So what can you do today if you find yourself caught in that moment?那么,如果你发现自己陷在那个时刻,你今天能做什么?
202Pause.暂停
203Don't slide into your automatic compliance or default silence.不要滑入你的自动遵守或默认沉默。
204Connect.连线.
205Connect with your values, who you are and who you want to be.联系你的价值观,你是谁,你想成为谁。
206Ask yourself, what does a person like me do in a situation like this?问问你自己,像我这样的人 在这样的情况下会做什么?
207Because this matters, to know that we have a choice in how we act.因为这很重要,知道我们在如何行动方面有选择权。
208When we make decisions from a place of values,当我们从价值的地方做决定时,
209not just once but repeatedly, we become someone we recognize,不只是一次,而且一再, 我们成为一个我们认识的人,
210someone others can depend on, someone who lives with integrity.一个人可以依赖, 一个正直的生活。
211Defiance isn't a personality trait.失败不是个性特征
212It's a muscle, a compass, a practice.这是肌肉,指南针,练习。
213And every single one of us has the power to practice it.我们每个人都有这个能力
214That one moment of defiance didn't just change my mother, it changed me.那一刻的蔑视不仅改变了我母亲,也改变了我。
215Because I didn't inherit a personality,因为我没有继承人格
216I acquired a practice.我得到了一个练习。
217This is what I call the defiance domino effect,这就是我所说的 藐视多米诺效应,
218a single act that reverberates often quietly through others.单一的行为经常悄悄地影响他人
219It shapes those who witness it and it ripples forward in ways that we may never see.它塑造了见证它的人,它以我们永远看不到的方式波及我们。
220Years after that day in the alley, I learned something striking about Rosa Parks.在那之后的几年里,在巷子里,我学到了罗莎·帕克斯的惊人之处.
221Before she ever made history with her famous snow on the bus,在她用她著名的雪在巴士上创造历史之前
222she once witnessed as a child her own mother defy.她小时候曾亲眼目睹她母亲的反抗
223As the story goes, the bus driver told her mother事情是这样的,巴士司机告诉她妈妈
224she'd have to move for a white passenger or be thrown off.她得为一名白人乘客搬家 或者被扔下去
225Her mother calmly said, I don't think you will do that.她妈妈冷静地说,我不认为你会这样做。
226It wasn't loud or dramatic, but it must have stayed with Rosa.声音和戏剧性都不大 但肯定和罗莎在一起
227Just like that moment in the alley stayed with me.就像巷子里的那一刻一样 和我在一起
228It planted something.它植入了一些东西。
229And my hope is this.我希望是这样。
230If we can practice defiance, if we can role model it, train for it, parent for it,如果我们能进行藐视,如果我们能 树立榜样,训练它,父母为它,
231then one day, one day in that same alleyway, one of the teenage boys will speak up.然后有一天 在同一条小巷里 有个十几岁的男孩会说出来
232He'll turn to his friends and say, that's not okay.他会去找朋友说,这不行
233Let them pass.让他们通过。
234So that my immigrant mother or somebody else's won't have to carry it alone.这样我移民母亲或其他人就不用独自携带了
235Because every single act of consent, of compliance and dissent因为每一个同意、遵守和异议的行为
236changes not just our story, but the stories of our society.不仅改变了我们的故事 也改变了我们社会的故事
237It affects our lives, our workplaces, our communities.它影响我们的生活、工作场所和社区。
238It creates the world we live in.它创造了我们生活的世界。
239We change ourselves.我们改变自己。
240We change the people around us.我们改变周围的人。
241We change the culture.我们改变文化。
242And maybe, just maybe, we can change the world.也许,也许,只是也许, 我们可以改变世界。
