谈到有什么工作无聊透顶,34岁的托马斯•柯温的工作应该算一个。他成天盯着刚刷的油漆变干,作为多乐士专业涂料的一名科学家,他要检查墙上或者显微镜下的油漆颜色如何随时间变化。

If you think that sounds a bit dry, just wait. We’ve found there a many worse ways to earn a living around the world...

盘点世界八大最糟糕工作:嗅他人腋窝居首

Armpit sniffer

嗅腋窝

Getting a whiff of BO may sound like the pits, but it’s all in a day’s work for Peta Jones.

闻些狐臭的味道听起来不那么爽,不过,佩塔•琼斯成天就干这种活。

She works as a deodorant producer for Unilever in Australia, developing the Dove, Lynx and Impulse brands.

A big part of her job is sniffing strangers’ armpits to check her products’ work.

琼斯是澳大利亚联合利华集团的除臭剂生产者,多芬(Dove)凌仕(Lynx)和Impulse等就是联合利华旗下品牌。她工作的主要内容就是嗅陌生人的腋窝,以检验产品功效。

Peta said: “It was strange at first, but in a week it was fine.”

“刚开始这很奇怪,但干一个星期就好了。”佩塔说。
