熱愛企鵝的人最適合這項工作。A job posting to man the "Penguin Post Office" in Port Lockroy, Antarctica, has received a record number of applicants: more than 1,500 since Feb. 16. In 2014, there were only 82 applicants all year long.
南極洲拉可羅港的"企鵝郵局"工作開始招聘，並收到創紀錄的應聘申請：從2月16日起，達到1500份，而2014年全年才只有82份。
United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) is looking for four people to, in addition to taking care of the 70,000 cards posted each year for delivery to 100 countries, monitor the impact of the approximately 18,000 visitors to Port Lockroy, situated on Goudier Island in the Antarctic Peninsula, on the wildlife, plus record the number of visitors and ships visiting the area.
UKAHT正在招募4個人，能夠每年向100個國家發送70000張卡片，監控訪問拉可羅港（位於南極半島的Goudier島）的約18000名遊客對野生動植物的影響，統計遊客人數和到訪船隻的數量。
One reason for the increase in applications, the organization said, was the airing of the documentary "Penguin Post Office" on BBC2 in the U.K. in July 2014 and on PBS in the U.S. in January 2015.
組織者說，申請數量暴增的一個原因是，紀錄片"企鵝郵局"2014年7月在英國BBC2臺播出，2015年1月在美國PBS臺播出。Each year, the UKAHT's U.K. team -- based in Cambridge -- searches for committed individuals to make up a small team of four to spend five months at its flagship site, Port Lockroy, situated on Goudier Island in the Antarctic Peninsula. The job runs from November 2015 to mid-March and pay is $1,700 per month.
每年，劍橋的UKAHT英國團隊都在尋找志願者組建一個4人小隊伍，在他們的基地（位於南極半島的Goudier島的拉可羅港）工作5個月。工作時間從2015年11月到16年3月中旬，酬勞是每月1700美元。Job Description:
工作細節："The team chosen to spend the 2015/16 season at Port Lockroy will assist the Base Leader in the efficient running of the post office, maintenance and museum operation, with areas of responsibility being divided up amongst team members. A can-do attitude is vital as is good physical fitness, co-ordination (carrying heavy boxes over slippery rocks and slushy snow whilst dodging the local gentoo penguin population is a frequent requirement), environmental awareness and a practical knowledge of minimum impact living. Above all successful candidates need to be passionate about the Antarctic."
"這個被選擇的團隊2015/16工作季在拉可羅港的任務是，協助基地管理員處理郵件，基地維護，以及管理展覽館，小組每人都有自己的管區。"態度與能力和協調性一樣重要，因爲他們經常需要搬着沉重的箱子跨過光滑的石頭和泥濘的雪地，同時還要避開企鵝聚居區。環保意識，保護野生生物的實踐經驗也很重要。被錄用者還被要求熱愛南極。No post office experience is necessary and applicants need not be British citizens.
不能有官方履歷，申請者也不需要一定是英國公民。Amy Kincaid, a member of the current team, said applicants need to be "realistic." She called the living quarters (pictured) "surprisingly cozy," though added that "being confined to an island the size of a football pitch isn't for everyone."
Amy Kincaid，當前隊伍的一名成員，說，申請者需要"能適應現實。"她把這個宿舍叫做"亮眼的保溫箱，"，又說"這個侷限於島嶼邊緣，僅有足球場大小的居住區並不會讓所有人滿意。"Interested applicants can apply here. Deadline is midnight Friday.
有意者請在這裏報名。截止期是週五午夜。
