I like work, but little did I think it would go this far.

Mathematics is the basis of the whole thing.

Everybody knew you had a big old brain on you.

The professor said e think you'd make a good map.

NASA was hiring black mathematicians, just opened it up to women.

E was finally gonna find out what the research mathematician did.

E終於要知道研究數學家是幹什麼的了。

Those women took a seat, and that changed our country.

那些女人坐了下來，這改變了我們的國家。

She became what was known then as a computer or a calculator or human computer.

Courage is just one of many words that describe this woman being the first woman in the room of all white men at a time when that was not popular.

勇氣只是形容這個女人是所有白人男人房間裡的第一個女人的許多詞之一，而當時這並不流行。

E Think about my experiences and those of Katherine Johnson I am completely in on.

She overcame so much more overt prejudice, so many more challenges than I was ever faced with 1957 when the Russians launched Sputnik satellite.

1957年俄國人發射斯普特尼克衛星時，她克服了更多公開的偏見，比我曾經面臨的挑戰更多。

The space race then became her job, calculating trajectories for Mercury missions and project Apollo.

Catherine Johnson was so good at what she did, they needed her as an engineer.

When they had briefings, I asked permission to go and they said, Well, the girls don't usually go When I said Well, is there a law?

當他們有簡報的時候，我請求允許他們去，他們說："好吧，女孩們通常不會去。"我說："好吧，有法律嗎？"他們說："有。"我說："有。"他們說："有。

Without mathematicians, those great moments wouldn't have happened.

In her 33 years of NASA, Catherine was a pioneer who broke the barriers of race and gender.

Everyone can excel in math and science and reach for the stars.

Catherine often remarked that even though there were medals and awards and so many things that she received in honors, her favorite thing to receive were letters from Children.

凱瑟琳經常說，雖然有獎章、獎狀，有那麼多榮譽的東西，但她最喜歡收到的是兒童的信。

That diversity of thought only improves our capacity to make change both in outer space and here on Earth.

這種思想的多樣性只會提高我們在外層空間和地球上進行變革的能力。

Now, younger versions of myself don't have to wait until they're an adult to finally hear about her toe.
