Armpit sniffer嗅腋窝
呃呃呃呃:这份工作真是顶呱呱!
中国日报网讯 Talk about a boring job... Thomas Curwen watches paint dry for a living.
The Dulux scientist from Twyford, Berks, 34, checks how the colour of matt and emulsion changes over time on walls and under microscopes.
谈到有什么工作无聊透顶,34岁的托马斯 柯温的工作应该算一个。他成天盯着刚刷的油漆变干,作为多乐士专业涂料的一名科学家,他要检查墙上或者显微镜下的油漆颜色如何随时间变化。
If you think that sounds a bit dry, just wait. We ve found there a many worse ways to earn a living around the world...
如果觉得这够无聊,那还是等等再下结论,我们在全球找到了许多槽糕的工作,先来一睹为快。
Armpit sniffer
嗅腋窝
Getting a whiff of BO may sound like the pits, but it s all in a day s work for Peta Jones.
闻些狐臭的味道听起来不那么爽,不过,佩塔 琼斯成天就干这种活。
She works as a deodorant producer for Unilever in Australia, developing the Dove, Lynx and Impulse brands.
A big part of her job is sniffing strangers armpits to check her products work.
琼斯是澳大利亚联合利华集团的除臭剂生产者,多芬(Dove)凌仕(Lynx)和Impulse等就是联合利华旗下品牌。她工作的主要内容就是嗅陌生人的腋窝,以检验产品功效。
Peta said: “It was strange at first, but in a week it was fine.”
“刚开始这很奇怪,但干一个星期就好了。”佩塔说。
Crime-scene cleaners
清理犯罪现场
CSI may be a morbid hit with TV viewers, but there is nothing entertaining about cleaning up a crime scene after a death.
犯罪现场调查对电视观众来说不亚于打鸡血,不过,死人后的犯罪现场清理就真的让人唯恐避之不及了。
Married couple Mike Nestved and Carmen Velazquez, above, clear up after bodies in Orlando, Florida the worst being one in a hot caravan. Carmen said: “There are some things you can t just Febreze.”
已婚夫妇如迈克 奈斯特韦兹和卡门 贝拉斯克斯的工作就是清理佛罗里达州奥兰多市的死人后现场,最糟糕的情况是在炙热的拖车中。
Crocodile trainer
鳄鱼训练员
We ve all worked with snappy colleagues, but putting your head in a crocodile s mouth should attract danger money.
我们或许都跟敏捷的同事一起工作过,但把头放在鳄鱼的嘴里感觉怎么样?
Yet trainers at Pattaya Crocodile Farm, Thailand, get just 4 per day for their work. Another stunt involves kissing a giant croc on its nose. Ian Maclean, who filmed the show during a trip to the zoo, said: “One of the performers had his head crushed while locked in the jaws of a croc.”
这并非惊悚大片,而是谋生计的一种手段。在泰国芭堤雅鳄鱼农场,这样的工作薪水只有每天4英镑(约42元人民币)。此外,训练员还有一项“绝技”,就是亲吻一只大鳄鱼的脖子。
Mosquito bite victim
主动让蚊子咬
Helge Zieler has a job that really sucks letting himself get bitten by mosquitoes. Working in the Brazilian rainforest, he offered himself as bait so he could study the bugs behaviour.
黑尔格 齐勒的工作那才叫糟糕——请蚊子来咬自己。他在巴西热带雨林工作,为了研究蚊子的行为,他不惜“献身”,自己化身诱饵吸引蚊子。
But despite once suffering a debilitating bout of malaria, he says: “The beauty of the rainforest far outweighs the thousands of mosquito bites.”
虽然齐勒曾因此而遭到了疟疾的苦楚,但他依然兴奋地表示:“对我来说,几千只蚊子的叮咬与热带雨林的美丽相比远远不算什么。”加拿大华人网 http://www.sinonet.org/
