Four candidates will be chosen to fill the five-month role at Port Lockroy—affectionately dubbed the “Penguin Post Office”. The nearly 80-year-old building is on British-owned Goudier Island, which is about the size of a football field and is populated by hundreds of penguins. Each year, the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust hires four postmasters to live on the island from November to March.四名被选中的工作人员将在洛克罗伊港工作五个月。这座建筑有近80年历史，坐落在约有一个足球场大小的英属古迪尔岛上，岛上有数百只企鹅居住，该邮局也被亲切地称为“企鹅邮局”。每年11月至次年3月，英国慈善机构南极遗产信托基金都会聘请四名邮局工作人员住在岛上。The employees are collectively responsible for maintaining the historic site and catering to the thousands of tourists who come by boat. The staff are also in charge of wildlife monitoring, including tallying penguins and collecting environmental data.工作人员们共同负责维护这个历史遗迹，并为成千上万乘船前来的游客提供服务。员工们还负责野生动物监测，包括统计企鹅的数量，以及收集环境数据。While many prospective postmasters were initially intrigued by the penguins, the experience offers “a different perspective on the world and a new perspective on your role in the planet,” said Camilla Nichol, chief executive of the trust. "You can watch the sun go down and hear the glacier ice melting," she added. "It's an extraordinary place."虽然很多应聘者最初是被企鹅所吸引，但这个经历会给你一个“看待世界的不同视角，你也会重新认识自己在这个星球上的角色”。该信托机构的首席执行官卡米拉尼科尔说到。她还补充到：“在这儿你可以欣赏日落，倾听冰川融化的声音。这里绝对算得上是一个非凡之地。”语料库1. candidate英/knddt/ 美/knddt; knddet/n. 候选人，申请者；投考者，考生qualified candidate 合格的候选人2. hire英/ha(r)/ 美/har/v. 聘用，录用；<英>租用，租借n. 租借，租金；<美>被雇用的人同近义词：employ vt. 雇用3. responsible英/rspnsb()l/ 美/rspnsbl/adj. （对某人、某事）负责的；（工作或职位）重要的，责任重大的同根词：responsibility n. 责任，职责；义务be responsible for... 对……负责e.g. Everyone should be responsible for his work. 每个人都应对自己的工作负责。4. initially英/nli/ 美/nli/adv. 开始，最初词根：initialadj. 开始的，最初的；（字母）位于词首的n. （姓名的）首字母v. 用姓名的首字母作标记（或签名）于作文素材积累1. ...which is about the size of a football field and is populated by hundreds of penguins.the size of... ……尺寸，……的大小例如：It is about the size of an egg. 约摸一个鸡蛋般大小。2.
