it increases dramatically the chances it will adopt nonviolence, and thus, the likelihood it will succeed. 它采取非暴力的几率戏剧性增长，如此一来，它成功的可能性也相应增长

The research squared up with my own documentation of political organizing in Israel and Palestine. 这项研究和我自己对巴以政治组织的记录结论不谋而合

I've noticed that movements which welcome women into leadership positions, 我注意到那些欢迎女性进入领导层的运动

such as the one I documented in a village called Budrus, were much more likely to achieve their goals. 比如我在一个叫做Budrus的村子记录的一个例子，就非常容易实现他们的目标

This village was under a real threat of being wiped off the map when Israel started building the separation barrier. 当以色列开始修建隔离墙的时候，这个村子面临这被从地图上抹去的切实危险

The proposed route would require the destruction of this community's olive groves³, their cemeteries⁴ 原定的（隔离墙）路线会摧毁这个社区的橄榄园、他们的墓地

and would ultimately close the village from all sides. 还会将这个村子从各个方向上完全隔离开来

Through inspired local leadership, they launched a nonviolent resistance campaign to stop that from happening. 通过富有灵感的当地领导，他们发起了一项旨在组织毁灭发生的抵抗运动

The odds⁵ were massively stacked against them. But they had a secret weapon: 形势对他们很不利。但他们有一件秘密武器：

a 15-year-old girl who courageously⁶ jumped in front of a bulldozer 一个15岁的女孩，她曾勇敢地跳到一辆推土机前

which was about to uproot⁷ an olive tree, stopping it. 阻止了它去推倒一颗橄榄树

In that moment, the community of Budrus realized what was possible 在那一刻，Budrus的居民们意识到是有可能的

if they welcomed and encouraged women to participate in public life. 如果他们欢迎并鼓励女人参与到公共生活中去

And so it was that the women of Budrus went to the front lines day after day, 也正是Budrus的女人们日复一日地到前线

using their creativity and acumen⁸ to overcome multiple obstacles they faced in a 10-month unarmed struggle. 发挥她们的创造性和敏锐性，以克服她们在为期10个月的非武装斗争中面临的众多障碍

And as you can probably tell at this point, they win at the end. 正如你可以想见的那样，她们最终赢了。
