One of the world's most remote inhabited islands is on the lookout for a new farmer, but with just one village and a population of only 265 people moving there may not be everyone's cup of tea.
最近，世界上最偏僻的小島之一正忙著招一位農夫；不過，鑒于那地方只有一個村子和區區265的人口，大多數人應該都不樂意搬到那邊去。

Tristan da Cunha, which is located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Brazil and South Africa, posted an advert for the role of 'agricultural adviser' on the National Farmers' Union website with the hopes of attracting a candidate who can help advise on development of livestock and agriculture.
小島名叫特里斯坦-達庫尼亞，位于巴西和南非之間的南大西洋海域。最近當地人在他們的全國農民聯合會網站上發布了一則招聘廣告，希望招一名“農業顧問”，以指導當地人發展養殖業和農業。

According to the posting " the island would benefit from reducing its reliance on imported foodstuffs to become more self sufficient" and needs someone with "knowledge and expertise to assist in increasing the production of fruit and vegetables and the development of livestock".
招聘廣告是這么說的：“本島將減少對進口食品的依賴，提高自給自足水平以惠及民生。目前急需有技術、有能力者積極加入，幫助島民提高蔬果產量，發展牲畜養殖。”

Unique as the role may sound though it is not the first time an unusual job has come up for grabs, in the past there have been adverts for everything from a chocolate taster to a paintball tester.
雖然聽起來新鮮，但這樣非同尋常的工作崗位已經不是第一次出現了。要知道，過去也出現過各種各樣的招聘廣告，包括巧克力品嘗員、彩色彈珠測試員等等。
