母親節感人視頻：世界上最辛苦的工作

A company called Rethom Inc. posted an online job listing for a director of operations position that on its surface may have seemed like a cushy gig.
國外有個Rethom 公司在網上發佈了招聘啓示，招聘職位是運營總監，聽上去好像是一份輕鬆的工作。

But the 24 people who applied for the job shortly found out it was anything but easy.
然而24位應聘者隨後卻發現，這簡直是世界上最辛苦的工作！

In video-chat interviews, which the company has since posted online, applicants were told by a hiring manager that the job would require them to stand all the time and work a minimum of 135 hours per week.
該公司已經把視頻面試的整個過程上傳到網上。在視頻面試的過程中，面試官告訴應聘者，這項工作需要他們一直站着，每週工作時間至少135小時。

To be qualified, they would need to have a background in finance, medicine, and culinary arts. The hiring manager went on to tell the candidates that there were no vacations and that the workload actually gets more intense during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
想要勝任此職位，應聘者需要具有金融、醫藥和烹飪藝術的背景。接下來，面試官告訴應聘者這項工作沒有休假，其工作負擔在感恩節、聖誕節等別人都休息的節假日裏更加沉重。

As for the pay? It's an annual salary of, uh, absolutely nothing.
說到薪酬？嗯，薪酬是……年薪……爲0。

Needless to say, the job applicants were pretty exasperated. "That's inhumane," one cried out.
自然啦，應聘者對此感到非常憤怒。其中人還喊道：“這太不人道了！”

But the hiring manager persisted, explaining that billions of people currently hold the position.
但面試官依然不予退讓，反倒解釋說世界上有數萬億的人正在做着這項工作。

That's because the applicants were unwittingly applying for the job of "mother."
其實，這些應聘者都沒有意識到，自己所應聘的這個崗位是“母親”。

When the hiring manager made this big reveal, the applicants couldn't help think of their own mothers and the impossible sacrifices they made on behalf of their children.
當面試官揭曉答案的時候，應聘者們都不禁想起了自己的媽媽、以及媽媽爲自己付出的無私奉獻。

In fact, the hiring manager wasn't a hiring manager at all, but an actor paid by the greeting-card company American Greetings. The purpose, of course, was to remind people of how amazing mothers are so that people will, at the very least, buy a card for Mother's Day.
實際上，這位面試官根本不是什麼面試官，而是美國禮品公司僱來的演員。他們這一舉動的目的，無非是提醒人們母親如此偉大，在母親節的時候至少要爲母親送上一張感恩賀卡吧！
