If you're keen to earn a bit of extra cash while potentially saving this planet from alien infection, NASA has an opening for you.
如果你熱衷于賺點(diǎn)外快,同時(shí)有保護(hù)地球免受外星生物感染的潛能,那美國航空航天局可以為你提供一份工作。
The US space agency is looking to hire a Planetary Protection Officer who will both protect our planet from the Martians and make sure that humans venturing into space do not contaminate other worlds.
美國宇航局希望聘請一名行星保護(hù)官,他既要保護(hù)我們的行星免受火星生物的侵襲,又要確保人類進(jìn)入太空時(shí)不會(huì)污染其他世界。
The job requires "frequent travel" but it does come with a salary of $187,000 (£141,000) a year with benefits, which isn't bad.
這份工作需要“經(jīng)常出差”,但其薪資還不錯(cuò),算上福利,年收入可達(dá)187,000美元(141000英鎊)。
"Planetary protection is concerned with the avoidance of organic-constituent and biological contamination in human and robotic space exploration," reads the job description.
“行星保護(hù)涉及的是在人類和機(jī)器人進(jìn)行太空探索的時(shí)候免受有機(jī)組分和生物性侵染,”該工作簡介上寫道。
“Nasa maintains policies for planetary protection applicable to all space flight missions that may intentionally or unintentionally carry Earth organisms and organic constituents to the planets or other solar system bodies, and any mission employing spacecraft, which are intended to return to Earth with samples from extraterrestrial targets of exploration.”
“對于所有有意或無意中攜帶地球生物或有機(jī)成分到行星或太陽系其他星球上的太空航行任務(wù),或是任何攜帶地球外探索目標(biāo)的樣品返回地球的航天任務(wù),美國航空航天局會(huì)堅(jiān)守那些適用于上述所有航天任務(wù)的行星保護(hù)政策!
The role will probably require involvement in NASA's upcoming missions, including a planned trip to Jupiter's moon Europa in the 2020s.
這份工作可能還需要參與美國航空航天局即將執(zhí)行的任務(wù),其中包括在2020年去木星的衛(wèi)星歐羅巴的一次計(jì)劃中的行程。
If you're interested in applying, NASA says you need at least one year's experience as a civilian government employee and an advanced degree in physical science, engineering or mathematics.
美國航空航天局表示,如果你對這份工作感興趣,你至少需要有一年在政府部門擔(dān)任文職工作的經(jīng)驗(yàn),并且要有自然科學(xué)、工程學(xué)或數(shù)學(xué)領(lǐng)域的高學(xué)歷。
The space agency says the role requires “demonstrated skills in diplomacy that resulted in win-win solutions during extremely difficult and complex multilateral discussions”.
宇航局稱,這個(gè)角色需要“善于處理人際關(guān)系,可以在特別困難復(fù)雜的多邊商討中找到一種雙贏的解決方案!
You also need to have "advanced knowledge" of planetary protection, which probably means more than just having read The Andromeda Strain whilst on holiday.
你還需要了解關(guān)于行星保護(hù)的“先進(jìn)知識(shí)”,這可能意味著在你休假的時(shí)候,你要做的不僅僅是讀完《安德羅美達(dá)菌株》這本書。
