6.Candy taster

6.糖果品尝员
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经给了一个12岁的男学生哈利·维尔瑟,成为了一家糖果厂的首席品尝师。哈利的工作就是测试绝密配方的糖果。他是赢得了斯威泽尔马特罗的招聘会而得到这份工作的。据他说,在第一次工作旅程后,他感觉好像走进了《查理和巧克力工厂》的童话书中。他对最喜欢的鸡腿味棒棒糖的口味和香味的描述让评委们赞不绝口。德比公司同时也制作爱心糖、彩虹糖和紫罗兰糖,现在还给这个年轻的首席品尝师提供工作服和工作名片。在抽样品尝糖果的同时,他还要监督在德比郡新米尔斯工厂的糖果研发工作。我不确定这是否是最棒的工作,但毫无疑问这是最“甜”的工作。

7.Condom tester

7.避孕套测试员

避孕套测试员

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.

9.博物馆娱乐主管 (6岁)

博物馆娱乐主管 (6岁)

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.

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,也许这对成年人来说不是最好的工作,但是它确定会震惊一个6岁孩子的世界。

10.Bike rider-photographer for Google Maps

10.谷歌地图的骑行照相员

谷歌地图的骑行照相员

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.

谷歌已经雇佣了两名幸运的年轻人骑着样子笨重的三轮车在法国各地拍摄那些轿车无法拍到的历史遗迹的照片。这辆三轮车的视线特别好,它的长杆上有九个照相机,一个全球定位系统,一台电脑和一个发电机。但是在法国首都需要这些精密的工具来完成它的工作——为谷歌的街景地图添加三维图像。
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.
这两个穿着谷歌T恤,头戴白色安全帽的骑行者正在为凡尔赛宫、巴黎西部、巴黎左岸卢森堡花园等位于法国巴黎繁华中心的著名景点拍照。
