MADRID (Reuters) - A Spanish farm union office has been inundated with calls from people wanting to apply for jobs as shepherds after a television report mistakenly said there were 2,000 posts vacant in the region with attractive terms.
据路透社8月16日报道，西班牙中部卡斯蒂利亚·莱昂地区的一家农场主协会最近一段时间里被从世界各地打来的求职电话搞得焦头烂额，因为一档电视节目错误地报道说该农场有多达2000个牧羊人岗位正“虚位以待”，且报酬优厚。
The programme went out on August 7 and weve received thousands of calls, said a spokeswoman for the young farmers union ASAJA in the central Spanish region of Castilla-Leon.
“该节目是在8月7日播出的，目前我们已经接到了数千宗求职电话”，这家由青年农场主组成的协会ASAJA的一名女发言人表示。
Phone calls and e-mails have come from Latin America, some from Britain, and even Morocco as well as from Spain.
该协会接到的求职电话及电子邮件不仅来自西班牙本土，还包括拉丁美洲、英国甚至摩洛哥在内的很多地方。
ASAJA was forced to put out a statement denying it had a batch of jobs on offer, although it confirmed that many farms in the region are short of labour.
ASAJA被迫发表了一份声明称，尽管当地很多农场也缺人手，但眼下可提供的工作岗位却寥寥无几。
Two farmers had appeared on the programme and said they needed shepherds and were prepared to offer 730 euros ($934) a month, a house and a vehicle.
有两名农场主曾现身于那档电视节目中，声称他们需要大量的牧羊人，且这份工作每月的薪水可达730欧元（934美元），外加一套住房及一辆汽车。
Average salaries in Spain are around 2,000 euros a month, but many immigrants earn far less.
目前，西班牙国内在职人员的平均月薪为2000欧元左右，但很多外来移民的实际月收入却远低于此。
