也许大多数人都会觉得安德鲁-史密斯拥有世界上最好的工作，因为他的工作就是尽情地玩，而且还有5.6万英镑的薪水。

The lucky employee uses his office hours to complete all sorts of daredevil stunts, including skydiving, driving with Top Gear star The Stig, hanging out with skateboard legend Tony Hawk and abseiling down the spectacular Blue Mountains in Australia.

这名幸运的受雇者可以利用自己所有的办公时间来完成各种各样的冒险特技，这些特技包括跳伞运动、同《Top Gear》节目中的神秘赛车手共同驾驶汽车、与滑板传奇人物托尼·霍克一起出游、甚至是沿绳索滑下澳大利亚壮观的蓝山山脉。

Mr Smith, from California, US, won a contest to become the "Chief Funster" for the state of New South Wales (NSW) in Australia.
