《中英對照讀新聞》Irish alcoholism nature reason for job rejection for Irish teacher in South Korea愛爾蘭老師在南韓求職遭拒,全因愛爾蘭酗酒天性

◎國際新聞中心

A teacher from the Republic of Ireland has been turned down for a job in South Korea due to the "alcoholism nature" of Irish people.

來自愛爾蘭共和國的一名老師,因愛爾蘭人的「酗酒天性」,在南韓求職遭拒。

Katie Mulrennan, from County Kerry, had applied for a teaching job in Seoul. She was told by an agency that their client did not hire Irish people due to their perceived drinking habits.

來自凱瑞郡的凱蒂‧穆拉蘭,在首爾應徵教職。她被介紹所告知客戶不聘愛爾蘭人,因為愛爾蘭人的飲酒習性惡名昭彰。

The 26-year-old told the BBC that she could not believe the email was real at first. "Usually when you apply for a job and they don’t want you, they don’t send a reply," she said. "Or they tell you they would prefer someone from North America, because some schools prefer the accent."

該名26歲教師告訴英國廣播公司,她起初不相信這封電郵是真的。「通常應徵工作,他們不要你,不會寄來回應,」她說。「或是他們會告訴你,他們比較想要找來自北美洲的人,因為一些學校偏好這種口音。」

"But this reply was a first. When I got the email, it was so abrupt and short. I actually laughed when I read it initially. But then I wanted to write back a really angry response."

「但這種回應我還是第一次看到。我收到這封電郵時,這非常唐突又簡短。我剛開始看的時候,其實笑了出來。但接著我想寫一封真的非常生氣的回覆。」

"In the end I took a deep breath and sent back a reply, that was a little bit sarcastic as I couldn’t believe the email I had received. But I haven’t heard anything back since."

「最後我深呼吸,回了封信,那有點語帶諷刺,因為我不敢相信我收到這封電郵。但之後就沒有下文了。」
