致那些最愚蠢的面试问题

"Are you a nerd?" "Can you dance?" "If you were a doughnut, what kind would you be?" When talent management consultants Development Dimensions International quizzed more than 2,000 newly hired employees about strange questions they had fielded in job interviews, the researchers got an earful. Some hiring managers' queries are not just odd, they're banned by law. See if you can spot the illegal questions in the following list. (Answers are at the bottom.)
“你是个书呆子吗？”“你会跳舞吗？”“如果你是一个甜甜圈，你会是哪种？”人才管理咨询公司美国智睿咨询有限公司（Development Dimensions International）调查了2,000多名最近被聘用的员工，询问他们在面试过程中遇到的奇怪问题，结果调查人员收集了一大堆问题。有些招聘经理的问题不只是古怪那么简单，它们甚至触犯了法律。你能从下列问题中找出不合法的问题吗？（答案见文章末尾。）

And, arguably the dumbest interview question of 2012:
下面这条可以说是2012年最愚蠢的面试问题：

"Are you willing to add some toxicity to your life?" Um, no.
“你愿意给你的生活来点毒药吗？”苍天哪，当然不愿意。

Questions 10, 11, 17, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, and 36 run afoul of federal laws. No. 3 might be out of bounds, depending on what the interviewer is looking for -- the date of birth on your driver's license, for instance. Questions 6, 12, 14, and 19 are off-limits only in places that have laws regarding discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation but, even so, they're dumb everywhere.
问题10、11、17、22、23、24、27、28、29、30、31、34和36违反了美国联邦法律。问题3可能超出了界限，但这取决于面试官想要查看的内容——如驾驶执照上的出生日期等。问题6、12、14和19只是在法律禁止歧视性取向的地方被视为不合法。但无论如何，这些都是非常愚蠢的问题。
