8) Full-time Netflix viewer:
全职网飞观看员
Imagine being paid to watch TV all day! Well for one lucky employee this dream has become reality.

想象一下整天看电视还能拿到钱吧!对于一位幸运的员工来说，这个梦想变成了现实。网飞已经聘请了一个人在他们的所有内容向公众开放之前观看，他的任务是审查每个节目并为其分配正确的标签，这能帮助观众找到我们到底想看什么，无论它是一部根据古典文学改编的浪漫犯罪电影，还是一部诙谐的拟人动物电视剧。
7) Train Pusher:
火车助推手
If you think the London Underground is bad, you should see the trains in Japan. ‘Oshiyas’ are hired to help cram as many people onto a train as possible by pushing them from the outside until the doors will close.

It is a tradition in South East Asia that a loud funeral will assist the dead as they travel to the afterlife, so professional mourners are hired to cry and weep loudly throughout the service.

5) Snake Milker:
采蛇毒者
Not for the light-hearted. The job of a snake milker is to collect the venom of poisonous snakes in jars for use in anti-venoms and other medication. Thank god someone’s brave enough!
不是给心情轻 松的人干的工作。采蛇毒者的工作是将毒蛇的毒液收集在罐子里，用于抗蛇毒药物及其他药物。谢天谢地有人这么勇敢!
4) Dog food taster:
狗粮品尝师
The dog food tester’s job is to taste new dog food products, including bones, tinned meat, and biscuits. They do this to test for flavor and texture in comparison to rival dog food brands and human food. Hmm…tastey?

3) Odour Judge:
闻臭员
In order to test the effectiveness of new products, ‘odor judges’ are hired to smell volunteers’ breath, feet and armpits. They make sure their judgment is accurate, the members of staff have their sense of smell tested monthly. Let’s hope those products are doing the trick, for the judges’ sake!
为了测试新产品的有效性，“闻臭员”被聘请闻志愿者的口气、脚和腋窝。他们要确保自己的判断是准确的，工作人员每月都会进行嗅觉测试。看在评委们的份上，让我们希望这些产品起到了作用!
2) Marmite Taster:
马麦酱品尝师
They say you love it or hate it and in the case of St John Skelton, he really takes his appreciation for it to another level. As part of a team of marmite tasters, he is responsible for checking each batch of Marmite is the correct texture, consistency and flavour. In the 30 years he has been working there, he has eaten around 3,000 jars of the stuff!
人们会说你喜欢还是讨厌它，但在St John Skelton的例子里，他真的把鉴赏提升到了另一个层次。作为马麦酱品尝师团队的一员，他负责检查每一批马麦酱的质地、稠度和味道是否正确。在工作的30年里，他已经吃了大约3000罐这种东西!
1) Scuba Diving Pizza Delivery Man:
潜水披萨送货员
If the fact that there’s an underwater hotel in Florida isn’t bizarre enough, to add on to that, they have a scuba diving pizza delivery man who supplies them with pizza by carrying them through the sea in a watertight case. What service.
