做夢都想找的世界十佳工作(下)

y taster

6.糖果品嚐員

Another one of the world's best job has gone to schoolboy Harry Willsher, 12, chief taster in a sweet factory. Harry's job is to test top secret recipes. He got the job after winning a contest at Swizzell's Matlow to find a recruit. According to him, after his first tour at his new job, he felt like having stepped into the book Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. He wowed judges by describing the flavor and smell of his favourite sweet, the Drumstick lolly. The Derby firm, which also makes Love Hearts, Rainbow Drops and Parma Violets, has now given the youngster chief taster overalls and business cards. As well as sampling the sweets, he will also monitor their development at the company's factory in New Mills, Derbyshire. I don't know if it's the best job, but it's definitely the sweetest.

另一份世界上最好的工作已經給了一個12歲的男學生哈利·維爾瑟，成爲了一家糖果廠的首席品嚐師。哈利的工作就是測試絕密配方的糖果。他是贏得了斯威澤爾馬特羅的招聘會而得到這份工作的。據他說，在第一次工作旅程後，他感覺好像走進了《查理和巧克力工廠》的童話書中。他對最喜歡的雞腿味棒棒糖的口味和香味的描述讓評委們讚不絕口。德比公司同時也製作愛心糖、彩虹糖和紫羅蘭糖，現在還給這個年輕的首席品嚐師提供工作服和工作名片。在抽樣品嚐糖果的同時，他還要監督在德比郡新米爾斯工廠的糖果研發工作。我不確定這是否是最棒的工作，但毫無疑問這是最“甜”的工作。

om tester

7.避孕套測試員

An Australian manufacturer called for applications for what it claims could be the world's best job - condom tester. Durex marketing manager Sam White was hiring Australians over the age of 18 who could apply for one of 200 positions as a condom tester. Unfortunately the position is not paid, but successful applicants would receive a free $60 selection of Durex products and will be required to provide the company with honest feedback about the products' performance. One of the lucky 200 testers would win a $1000 bonus. Maybe the bonus is not that great, but one thing's for sure - it's a job where employees won't mind taking their work home and burning the midnight oil. We are sorry to inform you applications are closed.

避孕套測試員——一個澳大利亞廠商要求申請聲稱這可能是世界上最棒的工作。杜蕾斯市場經理薩姆·懷特招聘18歲以上的澳大利亞人，他們可以申請成爲200個避孕套測試員之一。遺憾的是這個工作是沒有報酬的，但是申請成功的人可以得到一個價值60美元的杜蕾斯產品，並且他們還要向公司提供關於產品性能的真實反饋。其中一個幸運的測試員還將得到1000美元的獎金。或許這份獎金不是很多，但是有一點確定的是，測試者不用把工作帶回家挑燈夜戰。我們遺憾的通知你這份工作已經結束了。

ctor of Fun at a museum (age 6)

9.博物館娛樂主管 （6歲）

A six-year-old boy who wanted to become the director of York's National Railway Museum landed himself a job - as the director of fun. The ambitious youngster got a plum role at the National Railway Museum after applying to replace retiring boss Andrew Scott. Sam Pointon sent a handwritten letter headed "Application for director" asking for an interview at the centre, in York. The letter listed his credentials for the role, including his expertise on his train set. "I am only six but I think I can do this job," wrote Sam. "I have an electrick (sic) train track. I am good on my train track. I can control two trains at once." Staff was so impressed they appointed Sam an honorary "Director of Fun" and his job will be to bosses how he thinks they can ensure the museum is the most fun place for kids to spend a day out.

一個想要成爲約克鐵路國家博物館館長的6歲男孩得到了一份工作——成爲娛樂主管。在男孩申請想要替代退休的館長安德魯·斯科特之後，這個雄心壯志的年輕人得到了這份美差。薩姆·波音頓寄了一封手寫的”館長申請書“要求在約克中心面試。這封信中列出了他成爲這個角色的資格證明。“我只有6歲但我能幹好這個工作，”薩姆寫道，“我有一個電子的火車軌道。我很瞭解我的火車軌道。我能同時控制好兩輛火車。” 員工都很驚訝他們會任命薩姆爲榮譽“娛樂主管”，而他的工作將是指揮他認爲的能確保博物館對孩子們來說是一天是最好玩的地方。

Ok, maybe this isn't the best job in the world for an adult, but it certainly rocks the world of a 6 year old.

好了，也許這對成年人來說不是最好的工作，但是它確定會震驚一個6歲孩子的世界。

rider-photographer for Google Maps

10.谷歌地圖的騎行照相員

Google (GOOG) has hired two lucky young men to ride around France on dopey looking tricycles snapping up photos of historical sites that are inaccessible by car. This three-wheeler is a sight with its long pole holding nine cameras, a GPS, a computer and a generator. But the contraption tooling around the French capital needs all that gear to do its job – adding three-dimensional images to Google's Street View Maps.

谷歌已經僱傭了兩名幸運的年輕人騎着樣子笨重的三輪車在法國各地拍攝那些轎車無法拍到的歷史遺蹟的照片。這輛三輪車的視線特別好，它的長杆上有九個照相機，一個全球定位系統，一臺電腦和一個發電機。但是在法國首都需要這些精密的工具來完成它的工作——爲谷歌的街景地圖添加三維圖像。

The riders, wearing Google tee-shirts and white helmets, are visiting well-known sites such as the Chateau de Versailles, west of Paris, the Jardin du Luxembourg on the city's Left Bank or Les Halles, in the busy centre of the French capital.

這兩個穿着谷歌T恤，頭戴白色安全帽的騎行者正在爲凡爾賽宮、巴黎西部、巴黎左岸盧森堡花園等位於法國巴黎繁華中心的著名景點拍照。
