　　Not all people seeking employment are content with traditional sectors. So now Forbes has put together a list of 12 bizarre posts that come with solid salaries, with yoga master at the top place.

　　看来并不是所有人对传统意义上的工作感兴趣。近日，美国《福布斯》杂志评出12种“另类”高薪工作，瑜伽大师高居榜首，另有潜艇厨师、采珠潜水员和油气井潜水员等工作均收入颇丰，但相应代价不小。According to Forbes May 9, although teaching yoga doesn't always guarantee people a hefty salary, Bikram Choudhury could receive an impressive $5.7 billions a year, which reflects the fact that he can list as clients luminaries like former US President Richard Nixon. He created bikram yoga, had a bunch of franchises and millions of fans.

　　据美国《福布斯》网站9日报道，印度知名瑜伽大师乔杜里年收入57亿美元令人惊诧，但报道称“当然一般的瑜伽老师不可能像他这样日进斗金”。乔杜里首创了“热瑜伽”，拥有无数连锁店以及一大批执著的追随者，就连美国前总统尼克松也曾是这位瑜伽大师的顾客。

　　No one ever said taking on weird and well-paying jobs would be easy. Take submarine chefs. A cook with six years of submarine cooking experience earns up to $227,500 per year. Part of the reason is that it's hard to lure qualified chefs underwater to work for the nation's armed forces--even with the temptation of $4,000 per week--as they tend to prefer the freedom and perks of life on dry land.

　　《福布斯》杂志称，要获取丰厚收入也得付出相应的代价。比如潜艇厨师，有六年经验的潜艇厨师年薪高达27万美元，周薪高达4000美元却少人问津，原因在于一方面很难找到在厨艺上达标、又愿意为军队工作的厨师，另一方面几乎没人愿意闷在狭小的潜艇内不见阳光。

　　Pearl divers can pull in up to $110,000 for just two months of work. However, they are always under the stress of getting lost and lack of air.

　　澳大利亚海底采珍珠员工作2个月就能有11万美元进账，不过潜入海底也不排除迷路或者缺氧的可能性，因此他们的精神承受巨大压力。

　　Yet anther below-ground High-paying but hard job is that of an oil & gas diver. Qualified professionals in this industry can make up to $80,000 a year. They are very highly trained and require specialized certification beyond other commercial divers and they have to suffer from long separation from family.

　　油气井潜水员除了要会潜水，更需有维修油井的专业知识，还得忍受在外海工作的孤寂，8万美元年薪堪称“辛苦钱”。
