Your company launches a search for an open position.
你的公司發(fā)布了一個(gè)公開招聘的職位。
The applications start rolling in, and the qualified candidates are identified. Now the choosing begins.
申請表開始滾滾而來，合格的候選人已被挑選出來。現(xiàn)在開始挑選。
Person A: Ivy League, 4.0, flawless resume, great recommendations. All the right stuff.
候選人A：常春藤盟校，績點(diǎn)4.0，完美的履歷，出色的推薦信。所有好的要素都具備。
Person B: state school, fair amount of job hopping, and odd jobs like cashier and singing waitress.
候選人B：公立學(xué)校畢業(yè)，碾轉(zhuǎn)于各種工作之間，甚至包括做收銀員和唱歌的服務(wù)生。
But remember -- both are qualified. So I ask you: who are you going to pick?
不過請記得--兩位都是符合要求的。所以，我要問問你們：你們會(huì)選擇哪一位？
My colleagues and I created very official terms to describe two distinct categories of candidates.
我和我的同事發(fā)明了一些非常正式的術(shù)語，來描述這兩個(gè)不同類別的候選人。
We call A "the Silver Spoon," the one who clearly had advantages and was destined for success.
我們把A稱為“含著銀鑰匙的人”，一個(gè)明顯具有優(yōu)勢，而且注定會(huì)成功的人。
And we call B "the Scrapper," the one who had to fight against tremendous odds to get to the same point.
我們把B稱為“拳擊手”，必須努力沖破重重難關(guān)才能實(shí)現(xiàn)同樣的目標(biāo)。
You just heard a human resources director refer to people as Silver Spoons and Scrappers --
你們剛剛聽到了一個(gè)人力資源總監(jiān)將應(yīng)聘者比作銀湯匙和拳擊手
which is not exactly politically correct and sounds a bit judgmental.
這聽起來在政治上不太正確，而且還有些武斷。
But before my human resources certification gets revoked -- let me explain.
但在我的人力資源證書被吊銷前--讓我來解釋一下。
