[双语]年薪1.4万英镑！白金汉宫招聘皇室浴缸总管_新闻台

　　It is hardly a complex or onerous procedure, but Buckingham Palace has decided that running one’s own bath is not a task that members of the Royal Family and guests of the Queen should be burdened with.

　　虽然浴缸的使用过程实在算不上复杂繁琐，然而白金汉宫已经决定，不能劳烦皇室家族成员和女王陛下的贵宾亲自动手。

　　The Royal Household is seeking to appoint a housekeeping assistant, one of whose jobs will be to put in the plug, turn on the tap and check the temperature of the water when the bath is full.

　　英国皇室正在招聘一名家政助理，此人的工作任务之一就是摁下浴缸塞，打开水龙头，等到浴缸的水放满时检查水温。

　　The successful candidate for the ?14,200-a-year post will be‘committed to achieving exceptional standards of service provision’.

　　该职位年薪为1.42万英镑，而能够成功获得此职位的候选人必须“能够满足服务条款中的较高标准”。

　　As well as filling the royal bath, he or she will pack and unpack for guests of the Royal Household, iron their clothes, help them dress, look after their jewellery and arrange for tea and breakfast trays to be brought to their room.

　　除了给皇室浴缸放水，此名助理的工作还包括为皇室成员收拾和安置行李，给他们熨烫衣服，协助他们穿衣，保管他们的珠宝首饰，以及准备茶点和早餐盘。

　　As the modest starting salary indicates, the job is near the bottom of the Palace hierarchy. But whoever fills the vacancy will rub shoulders with the Queen and Prince Philip.

　　不起眼的起薪说明这份工作在皇宫等级中地位较低。但不管是谁担任此项职位，都将直接和女王以及菲利普亲王打交道。
