Its not your usual help-wanted ad, but it is a historic one. For the first time in its predicted 5,000-year history, Stonehenge is looking to hire.
The Telegraph reports only the “brightest and the best” need apply for the general manager position under English Heritage, which pays £65,000—roughly$99,000 a year.
這不是你通常能看到的招聘廣告,而是頗具歷史意義的一則。這是據(jù)考有5000年歷史的巨石陣頭一次發(fā)出的招聘廣告。
英國(guó)《每日電訊報(bào)》網(wǎng)站報(bào)道,只有“最聰明、最優(yōu)秀的”人才能勝任這處英國(guó)文化遺產(chǎn)的總經(jīng)理一職,并能得到每年6.5萬(wàn)英鎊的報(bào)酬——相當(dāng)于每年9.9萬(wàn)美元。
But we have to wonder, how does one “generally manage” prehistoric stones?
The BBC explains duties include:
-Leading the Wiltshire monuments 180 staff and volunteer members
-Meeting with Druid leaders
-Overseeing celebration plans for summer and winter 1)solstices
-And most importantly, keeping the “dignity of the stones”
Although its exact purpose is still a mystery, many believe Stonehenge was constructed as a temple to the sun, aligning with the rising and setting of the sun at the solstices.
The Daily Mail reports a new museum, exhibition gallery and restaurant will open close to the ruins by the end of the year—providing tourists with a more pleasant visit than what owners believe they are experiencing now.
當(dāng)然我們很想知道,一個(gè)人如何當(dāng)眾多史前巨石們的“總經(jīng)理”?
BBC電視臺(tái)如此解釋該職位的職責(zé):
——領(lǐng)導(dǎo)威爾特郡紀(jì)念館的180位工作人員以及志愿者;
——與德魯伊教教主們會(huì)面;
——監(jiān)督夏至日和冬至日的慶?;顒?dòng);
——而最重要的是,時(shí)刻保有“巨石的尊嚴(yán)”。
盡管巨石陣存在的原因還是一個(gè)謎團(tuán),但很多人相信最初巨石陣是一座供奉太陽(yáng)神的廟宇,排列出在至日那天太陽(yáng)升起落下的軌跡。
《每日郵報(bào)》網(wǎng)站報(bào)道說(shuō),一座新的博物館,一家新畫廊以及一間新飯店會(huì)在年底時(shí)在巨石陣附近落成,業(yè)主們表示這是為了讓游客有更棒的游樂(lè)體驗(yàn)。
