Ben Southall, a charity worker from the United Kingdom has been appointed the new caretaker (n.看管人) of the islands of the Great Barrier Reef(珊瑚礁), after beating 34,000 other applicants to the post dubbed(v.誉为) "The Best Job in the World." This new position requires Southall live, swim, and play every day, then record his adventures for the world via blogs, photos, video updates and media interviews. Not bad for AUD $150,000 and six months worth of work. Earlier this month, 16 finalists(决赛选手) arrived on Hamilton Island, where the caretaker will be based, for a four day extended interview. After a swimming test and a tour of the island, the candidates explored the Blue Pearl Villa - a.k.a. the caretaker's residence - a private, three bedroom cottage(n.小屋) with views of the Whitsunday islands. The successful candidate, Tourism Queensland CEO Anthony Hayes said, would be "someone who can capture and hold world attention."

Ben Southall 是英国慈善机构的一个工作人员,在击败34,000位前来应聘被誉为"世界上最好的工作”的其他选手后,他已经被任命为大堡礁群岛的看岛人。这个新的职位要求Southall每天正常起居、游泳和游玩,然后记录他所经历的一切,并通过更新博客、相片、视频及接受媒体采访向世人展示其生活。6个月的工作可以拿到150,000澳元,实在不错。在这个月月初,16位入围者到达了哈密顿岛,他们将在这里接受为期4天的大范围面试。在游泳测试和岛上旅游后,入围者们入驻了蓝珍珠别墅,即看岛人居住地—— 一个幽僻的但可以将圣灵群岛风景尽收眼底的三居室小型别墅。昆士兰旅游局总裁Anthony Hayes说:“成功的候选人必定是能够抓住且长期抓住世人注意力的那位。”
