以下是全球十大最奇怪的工作:
10) Professional sleeper:
專業試睡師
A hotel in Finland hired a member of staff as a ‘professional sleeper’ to test the comfort of their beds. The individual sleeps in a different one of the hotel beds each night and writes a review about her satisfaction with each one.
芬蘭的一家酒店僱傭了一名員工作爲“專業試睡師”來測試他們牀的舒適度。這個人每天晚上睡在酒店的不同牀上,然後寫下她對每一張牀的滿意度的評論。
9) Drying paint watcher:
乾漆觀察員
No, this isn’t a joke. Someone actually earns a living watching paint dry. A man in the UK currently has the job and he spends his days painting sheets of cardboard to test how long new paint mixes take to dry and watching for changes in color and texture.
不,這不是開玩笑。確實有人靠着看油漆幹來謀生。英國的一名男子目前做着這份工作,他每天都在刷硬紙板,測試新油漆需要多長時間才能乾燥,並觀察顏色和質地的變化。
8) Full-time Netflix viewer:
全職網飛觀看員
Imagine being paid to watch TV all day! Well for one lucky employee this dream has become reality. Netflix has hired someone to watch all of their content before it is available to the public and their role is to review and assign each program its correct tag, which helps us viewers find exactly what we’re after, whether it’s a romantic crime Movie based on classic literature or witty talking-animal TV show.
想象一下整天看電視還能拿到錢吧!對於一位幸運的員工來說,這個夢想變成了現實。網飛已經聘請了一個人在他們的所有內容向公衆開放之前觀看,他的任務是審查每個節目併爲其分配正確的標籤,這能幫助觀衆找到我們到底想看什麼,無論它是一部根據古典文學改編的浪漫犯罪電影,還是一部詼諧的擬人動物電視劇。
7) Train Pusher:
火車助推手
If you think the London Underground is bad, you should see the trains in Japan. ‘Oshiyas’ are hired to help cram as many people onto a train as possible by pushing them from the outside until the doors will close.
如果你認爲倫敦地鐵不好,那你應該看看日本的火車。日本僱傭“Oshiyas”來幫助儘可能多的人擠上火車,方法就是在車門關上之前從外面把他們推到車上。
6) Professional Mourner:
專業哀悼師
It is a tradition in South East Asia that a loud funeral will assist the dead as they travel to the afterlife, so professional mourners are hired to cry and weep loudly throughout the service.
在東南亞的傳統裏,葬禮上聲響很大能幫助死者轉入來世,因此在整個葬禮中,人們都會聘請專業哀悼師大聲哭泣。
5) Snake Milker:
採蛇毒者
Not for the light-hearted. The job of a snake milker is to collect the venom of poisonous snakes in jars for use in anti-venoms and other medication. Thank god someone’s brave enough!
不是給心情輕鬆的人乾的工作。採蛇毒者的工作是將毒蛇的毒液收集在罐子裏,用於抗蛇毒藥物及其他藥物。謝天謝地有人這麼勇敢!
4) Dog food taster:
狗糧品嚐師
The dog food tester’s job is to taste new dog food products, including bones, tinned meat, and biscuits. They do this to test for flavor and texture in comparison to rival dog food brands and human food. Hmm…tastey?
狗糧品嚐師的工作是品嚐新的狗糧產品,包括骨頭、罐頭肉和餅乾。他們這樣做是爲了與狗糧的競爭品牌及人類食品進行比較,以檢測其風味和質地。嗯……好吃嗎?
3) Odour Judge:
聞臭員
In order to test the effectiveness of new products, ‘odor judges’ are hired to smell volunteers’ breath, feet and armpits. They make sure their judgment is accurate, the members of staff have their sense of smell tested monthly. Let’s hope those products are doing the trick, for the judges’ sake!
爲了測試新產品的有效性,“聞臭員”被聘請聞志願者的口氣、腳和腋窩。他們要確保自己的判斷是準確的,工作人員每月都會進行嗅覺測試。看在評委們的份上,讓我們希望這些產品起到了作用!
2) Marmite Taster:
馬麥醬品嚐師
They say you love it or hate it and in the case of St John Skelton, he really takes his appreciation for it to another level. As part of a team of marmite tasters, he is responsible for checking each batch of Marmite is the correct texture, consistency and flavour. In the 30 years he has been working there, he has eaten around 3,000 jars of the stuff!
人們會說你喜歡還是討厭它,但在St John Skelton的例子裏,他真的把鑑賞提升到了另一個層次。作爲馬麥醬品嚐師團隊的一員,他負責檢查每一批馬麥醬的質地、稠度和味道是否正確。在工作的30年裏,他已經吃了大約3000罐這種東西!
1) Scuba Diving Pizza Delivery Man:
潛水披薩送貨員
If the fact that there’s an underwater hotel in Florida isn’t bizarre enough, to add on to that, they have a scuba diving pizza delivery man who supplies them with pizza by carrying them through the sea in a watertight case. What service.
如果佛羅里達州有一家水下酒店還不夠奇怪,那除此之外,他們還有一名潛水披薩送貨員,他用防水的箱子帶着披薩穿過大海,爲顧客送去披薩。這是什麼服務?
