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(nóng)夫；不過，鑒于那地方只有一個村子和區(qū)區(qū)265的人口，大多數(shù)人應(yīng)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.

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(jìn)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(shù)、有能力者積極加入，幫助島民提高蔬果產(chǎn)量，發(fā)展牲畜養(yǎng)殖?！?/p>
