How Much Is That Danish Professor In The Window?


Steen Mengel was walking down a busy street a few weeks ago when he stumbled onto a sign reading 'an available academic is sitting here.' An arrow pointed to people sitting in the window of a storefront.

几周前,门格尔(Steen Mengel)在哥本哈根一条热闹的大街上行走时偶然看到一块标牌,上面写着“这里坐着一位求职的学者”,并有一个箭头指向坐在店面橱窗里的人。

The 47-year-old real-estate developer didn't have a job to offer anybody, but he was intrigued. 'The idea, though, I like, ' he said, as he stood a few feet from the big picture windows framing the scene. 'It catches people's attention.'

'I'm willing to try anything, ' said Hannibal Camel Holt, an unemployed political scientist, as he took his place in the window one afternoon. Armed with a puter and wearing a dark blue button-down shirt, Mr. Holt has been 'kicking doors in and chasing leads, ' as he puts it, on and off for four years, striking out despite qualifications that include speaking six languages. For him, sitting-in represented a necessary, albeit awkward step.

失业的政治学家霍尔特(Hannibal Camel Holt)在某一天的下午坐进了橱窗里,他说:“我什么都愿意试试。”霍尔特拿着一台笔记本电脑,身穿深蓝色的扣角领衬衫。用他自己的话说,四年来他一直在断断续续地“上门求访和寻找门路”,尽管他拥有包括掌握六种语言在内的诸多资质,
