  It’s not your usual help-wanted ad, but it is a historic one. For the first time in its predicted 5,000-year history, Stonehenge is looking to hire.
  The Telegraph reports only the “brightest and the best” need apply for the general manager position under English Heritage, which pays £65,000—roughly$99,000 a year.
  这不是你通常能看到的招聘广告,而是颇具历史意义的一则。这是据考有5000年历史的巨石阵头一次发出的招聘广告。
  英国《每日电讯报》网站报道,只有“最聪明、最优秀的”人才能胜任这处英国文化遗产的总经理一职,并能得到每年6.5万英镑的报酬——相当于每年9.9万美元。
  But we have to wonder, how does one “generally manage” prehistoric stones?
  The BBC explains duties include:
  -Leading the Wiltshire monument’s 180 staff and volunteer members
  -Meeting with Druid leaders
  -Overseeing celebration plans for summer and winter 1)solstices
  -And most importantly, keeping the “dignity of the stones”
  Although its exact purpose is still a mystery, many believe Stonehenge was constructed as a temple to the sun, aligning with the rising and setting of the sun at the solstices.
  The Daily Mail reports a new museum, exhibition gallery and restaurant will open close to the ruins by the end of the year—providing tourists with a more pleasant visit than what owners believe they are experiencing now.
  当然我们很想知道,一个人如何当众多史前巨石们的“总经理”?
  BBC电视台如此解释该职位的职责:
  ——领导威尔特郡纪念馆的180位工作人员以及志愿者;
  ——与德鲁伊教教主们会面;
  ——监督夏至日和冬至日的庆祝活动;
  ——而最重要的是,时刻保有“巨石的尊严”。
  尽管巨石阵存在的原因还是一个谜团,但很多人相信最初巨石阵是一座供奉太阳神的庙宇,排列出在至日那天太阳升起落下的轨迹。
  《每日邮报》网站报道说,一座新的博物馆,一家新画廊以及一间新饭店会在年底时在巨石阵附近落成,业主们表示这是为了让游客有更棒的游乐体验。
