  World's Greatest Job, Up for Grabs*


  Calling all chocoholics. One of Britain's most exclusive grocery stores needs a new chocolate taster - and will pay 35,000 pounds ($54,400) a year for the successful candidate. Fortnum & Mason in London's Piccadilly - one of the capital's most prestigious 1 addresses - is looking for a chocolate buyer to travel the world, taste as much chocolate as possible and select the best for its discerning customers. Daily Telegraph newspaper said the Fortnum's personnel director Cathy O'Neill has already been bombarded with applications after she advertised the post as the "best job in the world." But not all of those interested have the right qualifications. "We only advertised it a couple of days ago," O'Neill told Daily Telegraph. "But already we have had loads of people writing in saying they have absolutely no experience, or they work in the metal industry or something, but they love chocolate."


  *up for grabs:俚语,意为可得的,易得的,任何人都可能取得的。


  所有巧克力爱好者请注意!英国最高档的食品杂货店之一需要一名新的巧克力试吃员--成功的应聘者将得到3万5千英镑(54,400美元)的年薪。位于伦敦皮卡迪利大街--这个都城最负盛名的地点之一--的福特纳姆及梅森商店正在寻找一名巧克力采购员,其职责是环游世界,品尝尽可能多的巧克力并为该店品味不凡的顾客们选出其中最好的品种。《每日电讯报》说,福特纳姆的人事经理凯茜-奥尼尔在广告中称这个职位为“世界上最好的工作”,随之而来的大量求职申请令她应接不暇。“我们几天前才登出广告,”奥尼尔对《每日电讯报》说。“但是我们已经收到了许多人的书面申请。他们说自己毫无经验,或是就职于金属行业,如此等等,但他们喜欢巧克力。”


  Remarks:品尝可解馋,旅游可减肥,果然是好工作!



adj.有威望的,有声望的,受尊敬的
