大學畢業何處去?去農場做人肉稻草人!

A student who graduated university with a degree in music and English has been given a job as a human scarecrow.

一個獲得音樂及英語雙學位的大學畢業生,接受了職業稻草人的工作。

Jamie Fox, 22, who recently graduated from Bangor University, will use a ukulele, accordion and cowbell to frighten partridges away from a field in Norfolk.

傑米·福克斯今年22歲,他剛從威爾士的班戈大學畢業,之後他要依靠尤克裏裏琴、手風琴和牛鈴等樂器來驅趕諾福克郡鄉間田地裏的山鶉。

He is being paid £250 a week to wear a bright orange coat and play the instruments in a ten acre field where birds are unpeturbed by ordinary scarecrows.

這份工作週薪250英鎊,要求他穿着橙色的外套在一個十英畝的田裏彈奏樂器,一般的稻草人無法阻止那裏的鳥雀。

His boss, Aylsham farmer William Youngs, even warned him to "bring a deckchair and a good book" for his days in the oilseed rape field.

他的僱主是埃爾舍姆的農場主威廉·揚,他的工作地點是一片油菜田,老闆威廉甚至提醒他“帶把躺椅和一本好書”來打發時光

Mr Fox, who says his friends are "slightly envious" of his role, is now saving to pay for a trip to New Zealand next year.

福克斯正在爲明年去新西蘭旅行存錢,他說自己的朋友“有些嫉妒”他的這份工作。

"I get to sit and read for a lot of the time but whenever I see the partridges, I have to get up and scare them off," he told the BBC.

“我有許多時間坐在那裏閱讀,不過一旦我看到山鶉就必須馬上起來嚇跑它們。” 他這樣告訴BBC的記者。

"I ring a cowbell and I've even played the accordion, but the ukulele doesn't seem to have any effect on them."

“我搖牛鈴,拉手風琴,不過似乎尤克裏裏琴對它們不起作用。
