One of the scariest moments of my career started on a dark October morning in 2018. I’m a professional athlete, and my training schedule can be a lot. Six days a week, five hours a day. It's intense. Still, I never train that early. But on this day, a special type of fear brought me out at 4am before the sun. A fear that someone might discover a secret I'd been keeping. I was six months pregnant. I was pregnant, and I was scared enough to train in the dark so that no one would see the life that was growing inside of me. I feared that if a fan or someone posted a photo, that my sponsor would immediately change their mind about wanting to work with me. I feared that I would be forced to choose between motherhood and being a competitive athlete. I feared that the career I worked so hard to build would disappear just like that.
我生涯中最可怕的时刻之一起始于2018年10月一个漆黑的早晨。 我是一名职业运动员， 我的训练时间表内容很多。每周六天，每天五小时。这很密集。即便如此，我也从没这么早训练过。但这一天，一种特别的恐惧让我在早上 4 点、日出之前便出了门。恐惧可能有人会发现一个我一直掩藏的祕密。我怀孕六个月了。我因为怀孕怕得只能在黑暗中训练，才不会有人看到我身体里逐渐成长的生命。我恐惧如果粉丝或某人拍照发文，我的赞助商会立即改变主意，不愿和我合作。我恐惧我会必须选择要当一名母亲还是一名竞技体育运动员。我恐惧我费尽心力建立的生涯会毁于一旦。

You think I'm exaggerating, right? How could a six-time Olympic champion, a 16-time world champion, a world record holder, possibly think that her career might be over by doing something as natural as having a baby? Well, I'm not exaggerating.
你们觉得我夸大了，对吧？怎么可能一位6次奥运冠军、16次世界冠军、世界纪录保持者会觉得她的生涯有可能因为怀孕这么自然的事而结束？嗯，我没有夸大。

Getting pregnant in track and field has been called the “kiss of death.” And it comes with a lot of fear, just like for women in many professions. I have been watching women that I respect and teammates of mine hide pregnancies since I was 19 years old. I've seen women have to make gut-wrenching decisions like deciding whether to recover their health or return to the sport. Deciding whether to stay in the hospital with a sick child or go to a race so that they don't receive a further pay reduction.
在田径界中怀孕被称作“死亡之吻”。它伴随着许多恐惧而来， 就像许多职业的女性一样。 我一直看到我尊敬的女性和我的队友掩藏怀孕的事，从我 19 岁时开始。我看到女性必须做出痛苦的抉择，像是决定要恢复健康还是回归体育运动，决定要在医院陪伴生病的孩子还是去参加比赛，以便收入不会被削减。

01:53
I know what some of you might be thinking. We all choose to get pregnant, right? If a sponsor doesn't want to pay an athlete who's not out on the track winning, that's just part of the deal, right? Well, I think the deal's rigged. I think that companies want to have it both ways. And I think it's time we change.
我知道你们有些人可能在想什么。我们都是自己选择怀孕的，对吧？如果赞助商不想付钱给运动员是因为她没有在跑道上赢得胜利，那不过是合约的一部分，对吧？ 嗯，我认为合约是不公正的。我认为企业想要鱼与熊掌兼得。我也认为是时候改变了。

Sports companies love to tell women that they can have it all. They can do it all, they can be it all. We've all seen those inspirational ads. I remember meeting with Nike leadership in 2010, and they told me about an initiative they sponsored called the Girl Effect. They promoted adolescent girls as the key to improving societies around the globe. They said they believed in women and girls. And if I joined Nike, I could empower them. And I believed that. But guess what? Girls come from somewhere.
运动企业喜欢告诉女性她们可以拥有一切。她们完全能做到，能成为运动员。我们都看过这种鼓舞人心的广告。我记得2010年和耐克领导层会面时，他们告诉我他们赞助了一项叫“女孩效应”的倡议。他们宣传青春期的女孩是改善全球社会的关键。他们说他们相信妇女和女孩。如果我加入耐克，就能让他们更有力。我相信了。但猜猜发生什么？ 女孩从某个地方来了。

And women having babies during childrearing years is something that should be celebrated, not punished. It should be a part of a normal, thriving, professional, athletic career. And women in all fields should never feel the need to hide a pregnancy, at 4am, in the dark, so that they won't be photographed doing that thing that they love.
女性在适合生儿育女的时期怀孕应该受到庆祝而非惩罚。 这本该是一名正常的、成长的、 职业的运动员的生涯。所有领域的女性都不该觉得她们需要在凌晨4点的黑暗中掩藏怀孕的事，以免在从事她们喜爱的事时被拍照。

03:17
Remember how scared I told you I was when I was on the track that day? My mind was racing with the consequences of my decision to start a family. I had already been going through a difficult renegotiation period with Nike, and they were already offering me 70 percent less than what I had previously been making. And that was even before they knew about the baby. Don't even get me started with the ageism that is embedded in the capitalist dream.
你们记得我那天在跑道上时有多害怕吗？我的脑子里飞快地盘算着我决定要孩子的后果，我已经和耐克经过了一段艰难的重新谈判时期，他们给我的报价已经比之前给我的低了70%。那甚至是在他们知道我有孩子之前，我甚至还没受到资本主义根深蒂固的年龄歧视。

03:42
So when I told them about my pregnancy, I asked for a clause in the contract that specified they wouldn't reduce my pay within 12 months of giving birth. They said yes. But -- you knew there was going to be a "but", right? But it was only a yes for me. They weren't ready to offer that same protection for all female athletes. They weren't ready to set the precedent.
所以当我告诉他们我怀孕的事时，我要求在合同中加入一个条款，规定在我生完孩子的12个月内，他们不会降低我的工资。他们同意了。但是，你们知道，永远都有“但是”，对吧？但那个同意仅限于我。他们没有准备要给予所有女性运动员相同的保障，他们还没有准备要开创先例。

04:09
A couple of days later, my agent called me. Nike wanted to use me in a commercial for the Women's World Cup. I couldn't believe it. Nike wanted to use me to tell women and girls that they could do anything, even though the contract before me said the exact opposite. I knew what I had to do. I knew I had to leave. I knew I was afraid, but I did it anyways. I wrote an op-ed in "The New York Times" calling out Nike's maternity policy, and I wasn't the only one.
几天之后，我的经纪人打电话给我。耐克想要把我放在女子足球世界杯的广告上。我难以置
信。耐克想要用我来告诉女人和女孩她们可以办到任何事，即便这跟和我面前的合约完全相反。我知道我需要做什么。我知道我必须离开。我知道我很害怕，但我还是做了。我在《纽约时报》专栏上写了一篇文章，抨击了耐克的产假政策，而我并不是唯一一人。
