致那些最愚蠢的面試問題

"Are you a nerd?" "Can you dance?" "If you were a doughnut, what kind would you be?" When talent management consultants Development Dimensions International quizzed more than 2,000 newly hired employees about strange Questions they had fielded in job interviews, the researchers got an earful. Some hiring managers' queries are not just odd, they're banned by law. See if you can spot the illegal questions in the following list. (Answers are at the bottom.)
“你是個書呆子嗎？”“你會跳舞嗎？”“如果你是一個甜甜圈，你會是哪種？”人才管理諮詢公司美國智睿諮詢有限公司（Development Dimensions International）調查了2,000多名最近被聘用的員工，詢問他們在面試過程中遇到的奇怪問題，結果調查人員收集了一大堆問題。有些招聘經理的問題不只是古怪那麼簡單，它們甚至觸犯了法律。你能從下列問題中找出不合法的問題嗎？（答案見文章末尾。）

And, arguably the dumbest interview question of 2012:
下面這條可以說是2012年最愚蠢的面試問題：

"Are you willing to add some toxicity to your life?" Um, no.
“你願意給你的生活來點毒藥嗎？”蒼天哪，當然不願意。

Questions 10, 11, 17, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, and 36 run afoul of federal laws. No. 3 might be out of bounds, depending on what the interviewer is looking for -- the date of birth on your driver's license, for instance. Questions 6, 12, 14, and 19 are off-limits only in places that have laws regarding discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation but, even so, they're dumb everywhere.
問題10、11、17、22、23、24、27、28、29、30、31、34和36違反了美國聯邦法律。問題3可能超出了界限，但這取決於面試官想要查看的內容——如駕駛執照上的出生日期等。問題6、12、14和19只是在法律禁止歧視性取向的地方被視爲不合法。但無論如何，這些都是非常愚蠢的問題。
