Recently, a notice posted by netizens in Guangdong about the recruitment of translators at coffee festival stalls sparked heated discussion on social media.

It is understood that this recruitment announcement appeared at the just-concluded Jiangmen Coffee Festival in Guangdong. Tourists passing by a stall selling coffee beans noticed the recruitment announcement hanging in a conspicuous place, to the effect that "recruit a person who speaks Japanese as an event staff, assist in communication work, and the remuneration is coffee beans." In the blank area of the announcement page, the four black characters "How shameless" suddenly appeared.

This unique recruitment announcement immediately attracted a large number of netizens to watch after it was released. The popularity of the post soared in a short period of time, and the focus of public discussion was on the remuneration given by the stall owner. According to netizens who have some knowledge about translation work, the salary of professional foreign language translators is usually measured based on the language of translation, the difficulty of translation content, and working hours.

For example, for translation and communication work at exhibition activities, the daily salary of professional translators is basically a few hundred to a thousand yuan; if it is simultaneous interpretation, the daily salary will be higher. Therefore, in the opinion of most people, if the stall owner wants to recruit a professional translator to assist in product sales and communication with customers, it is not appropriate to use coffee beans as remuneration for his work."Why don't you say happy bean settlement?","Pure gold coffee beans","One bean per word?"

Some netizens joked,"Can you ask Lala to load coffee beans? "," Coffee beans are okay, bring 10 tons and deliver them to the designated place "," Give me 1 pound of Panamanian jade, and I will immediately call two translators."They joked that if the stall owner gave out enough high-quality coffee beans, it would not be impossible to accept such labor remuneration.

On the other hand, some users speculated based on the recruitment content that the stall owner intended to recruit a Japanese-speaking event volunteer or volunteer to assist them with their work during the coffee festival, and might use coffee beans as a token of gratitude after the event.

They said that at temporary activities such as coffee festivals, people in charge do recruit volunteers or volunteers to assist. After the end, some merchants will express their gratitude with physical items such as coffee beans and brand perimeters. However, some people pointed out that if the stall owner only needed a Japanese-speaking volunteer, words such as "recruitment" and "remuneration" should not be included in the announcement. Frankly speaking such text will inevitably cause misunderstandings.

In response, the poster explained to curious users in the comment area that the photo was accidentally seen while visiting the coffee festival and found it interesting. It was not clear whether the store had successfully hired a translator to assist in the work through this recruitment announcement during the coffee festival.

According to the poster, the person in charge of the booth who posted the recruitment announcement should not understand Chinese."The boss couldn't understand it, but he was still laughing happily at the time." He speculated that he might have misunderstood the content written by passers-by, so he did not block this indecent message and displayed it generously.
