One of the world's most remote inhabited islands is on the lookout1 for a new farmer, but with just one village and a population of only 265 people moving there may not be everyone's cup of tea.

最近,世界上最偏僻的小岛之一正忙着招一位农夫;不过,鉴于那地方只有一个村子和区区265的人口,大多数人应该都不乐意搬到那边去。
 
Tristan da Cunha, which is located in the South Atlantic Ocean between Brazil and South Africa, posted an advert2 for the role of 'agricultural adviser3' on the National Farmers' Union website with the hopes of attracting a candidate who can help advise on development of livestock4 and agriculture.
 
According to the posting " the island would benefit from reducing its reliance on imported foodstuffs5 to become more self sufficient" and needs someone with "knowledge and expertise6 to assist in increasing the production of fruit and vegetables and the development of livestock".
 
Unique as the role may sound though it is not the first time an unusual job has come up for grabs, in the past there have been adverts7 for everything from a chocolate taster to a paintball tester.
