進入《中英對照讀新聞》MI6 advertises for new intelligence officers on Mumsnet MI6在「媽媽網」登廣告招募新情報員
◎魏國金
Britain’s spy agency MI6 is hoping to recruit a new generation of female spies - by advertising for intelligence officers on parenting website Mumsnet.
英國情報機構「軍情6處」（MI6）希望吸收新一代的女特務—透過在育兒網站「媽媽網」刊登廣告招募情報員。
As the latest James Bond film Spectre hits the big screen, the Secret Intelligence Service is searching for the next generation of real life 007s on the help and advice website.
在最新龐德電影「惡魔四伏」登上大銀幕之際，英國秘密情報局則在這個（親子）協助與建議網站尋覓下一世代真實的007。
In addition to the adverts for intelligence officers, there are also vacancies for ’software and technology specialists’ on unspecified salaries and for £26,151-per year ’business support officers’.
除了刊登廣告徵求情報員外，MI6也提供薪資未定的「軟體與技術專家」，以及年薪2萬6151英鎊的「業務助理」等職缺。
But those interested must show discretion. Candidates are warned their DH’s - ’darling husbands’ in Mumsnet terminology - must remain tight-lipped about their loved one’s application.
然而，凡有興趣者必須謹慎為要。應徵者被警告，她們的DH—在媽媽網，專指「親愛的老公」—務必對愛人的求職申請口風緊。
The website’s chief executive Justine Roberts said MI6 had first put an advert on the site in May. She said： ’Being MI6 they didn’t tell us whether they successfully hired from us. But they have put up three more ads so you imagine they got a good response.’
該網站執行長賈絲汀．蘿勃茲說，MI6 5月間首度在網站刊登廣告。她說：「MI6沒有告知我們是否從我們這裡成功聘僱到人。但他們多刊登了3個廣告，所以可以設想他們獲得良好回應。」
Asked what qualities its members might bring to the world of espionage, she said they were ’used to having eyes in the back of their heads and being invisible,’ as well as having strong intuition and emotional intelligence.
當被詢及其會員將為諜報界注入什麼特質時，她說，她們「慣於不露聲色地了解一切」，同時擁有強大直覺及情緒智商。
