這名幸運(yùn)的受雇者可以利用自己所有的辦公時(shí)間來(lái)完成各種各樣的冒險(xiǎn)特技,這些特技包括跳傘運(yùn)動(dòng)、同《Top Gear》節(jié)目中的神秘賽車(chē)手共同駕駛汽車(chē)、與滑板傳奇人物托尼·霍克一起出游、甚至是沿繩索滑下澳大利亞壯觀(guān)的藍(lán)山山脈。
Mr Smith, from California, US, won a contest to become the "Chief Funster" for the state of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia.
這名叫做史密斯的雇員來(lái)自美國(guó)加利福尼亞,他通過(guò)競(jìng)賽成為了澳大利亞新南威爾士州的“玩樂(lè)達(dá)人”。

Since he arrived in Australia in December, Andrew has completed more than half of the challenge, with feats such as: 187 high fives on the Sydney Harbour; mingling with 18,000 Elvii (the plural of Elvis) at the Parkes Elvis Festival; slipping down a 91-metre-long typhoon waterslide; and being chased by a massive pig at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

他說(shuō):“直到今年6月底,我的日程表上排滿(mǎn)了重頭活動(dòng)和旅行計(jì)劃”。

“新南威爾士州有很多好玩好看的事物,我面臨的挑戰(zhàn)并不是尋找樂(lè)趣,而是在六個(gè)月內(nèi)將這些樂(lè)趣都展現(xiàn)出來(lái)?!?/div>
