18 weird and wonderful interview questions 18个奇怪又奇妙的面试问题 ????Ive been asked some weird interview questions in my time. The one that stands out (and made it onto our list at number 10), asked whether I would have invaded Iraq if I were Tony Blair. 我常常在面试的时候被问到奇怪的问题。其中最怪异的（本文中排第十），是问我假如我是托尼·布莱尔我会不会进攻伊拉克。 ???If Id been applying for the job of PM then this might have been expected - as I was in fact going for a trainee reporter role at a tiny local newspaper, I was, I must admit, slightly thrown. ?如果我当时面试的是首相的工作，那么这个问题还说得过去，但实际上我申请的工作是一家本地小报的实习记者。不得不承认我有点被雷到了。 ???But thats the point. The questions on this list arent just weird for weirds sake - theyre there to make you think, to throw you off, and quite often a good answer can be the difference between your dream job and unemployment. ?不过重要的是，这些怪异的问题不是为了达到什么怪异的目的，而是为了引人深思，让人手足无措。通常一个回答的好坏也许就决定了你最终是得到向往的工作还是待业。 ??Laura DeCarlo, the head of Career Directors International, told The Telegraph that employers used unusual questions to discover which candidates were creative under pressure. ??国际职业董事会主席劳拉·迪卡洛告诉英国的电讯报，用人单位用不寻常的问题来检验应征者能否“在压力下展现出创意”。 ????There might not even be a correct or realistic answer, explains DeCarlo. They want to see you develop a step-by-step response – and discover how easily you will quit. “并不一定有标准答案或是现实的答案，”迪卡洛说，“问这些问题是为了看看你能不能一步步地组织一个回答出来，以及你会不会轻易放弃。” ????Hmmm. Useful to know. 嗯……幸好我们现在知道了。 ???And how did I answer my unexpected question?I said that if I had been Tony Blair, and was led to believe all the information about Saddam Husseins WMDs was 100% accurate (which we now know it wasnt) - then probably, yes. ?我当时怎么回答那个出乎意料的问题呢？我说，假如我当时是托尼·布莱尔，并且受引导相信有关萨达姆·侯赛因大规模杀伤性武器的消息是百分百准确的（现在我们都知道其实不是），那么我大概是会发动战争的。 ??How would you answer the following questions? Let us know in the comments section below. ??你能否回答下面这些问题呢？请留下您的评论。 ???1.) Would Mahatma Gandhi have made a good software engineer? 1. 圣雄甘地能不能当好一个软件工程师？ 3.) Just entertain me for five minutes; I’m not going to talk. 3. 在接下来五分钟里逗我开心。我不
