Your company launches a search for an open position. 你的公司发布了一个公开招聘的职位。
The applications start rolling in, and the qualified 1 candidates are identified. Now the choosing begins. 申请表开始滚滚而来，合格的候选人已被挑选出来。现在开始挑选。
Person A: Ivy 2 League, 4.0, flawless resume, great recommendations. All the right stuff. 候选人A：常春藤盟校，绩点4.0，完美的履历，出色的推荐信。所有好的要素都具备。
Person B: state school, fair amount of job hopping 3, and odd jobs like cashier and singing waitress. 候选人B：公立学校毕业，碾转于各种工作之间，甚至包括做收银员和唱歌的服务生。
But remember -- both are qualified. So I ask you: who are you going to pick? 不过请记得--两位都是符合要求的。所以，我要问问你们：你们会选择哪一位？
My colleagues and I created very official terms to describe two distinct categories of candidates. 我和我的同事发明了一些非常正式的术语，来描述这两个不同类别的候选人。
We call A "the Silver Spoon," the one who clearly had advantages and was destined 4 for success. 我们把A称为“含着银钥匙的人”，一个明显具有优势，而且注定会成功的人。
And we call B "the Scrapper," the one who had to fight against tremendous odds 5 to get to the same point. 我们把B称为“拳击手”，必须努力冲破重重难关才能实现同样的目标。
You just heard a human resources director refer to people as Silver Spoons and Scrappers -- 你们刚刚听到了一个人力资源总监将应聘者比作银汤匙和拳击手
which is not exactly politically correct and sounds a bit judgmental. 这听起来在政治上不太正确，而且还有些武断。
But before my human resources certification gets revoked 6 -- let me explain. 但在我的人力资源证书被吊销前--让我来解释一下。
