Psychology student Ben Cronin, 20, alleges that he was shocked when staff told him he wasn't attractive enough to work the boats on the River Cam.
20歲的心理學專業(yè)學生本-克羅寧說，當工作人員告訴他由于他不夠有吸引力，不能勝任在劍河船上打工的工作時，他感到很震驚。

Mr Cronin, who has just completed his first year at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, had hoped to fund his second year of studies by working on the water.
克羅寧剛剛完成了在劍橋的安格利亞魯斯金大學一年級的課程，并希望能通過在船上的工作來資助自己第二年的學習。

But after his rejection he now faces a summer of bar work, he said.
他表示在被這份工作拒絕后，他轉(zhuǎn)向了在酒吧的暑期工作。

"I was with a couple of friends and we decided to go and speak to one of the punting companies to see if we could get work for the coming season,” Mr Cronin said. “I went to speak to the man running the boats, but when I asked about a job, he looked me up and down and laughed, saying: 'Sorry mate, you have to be good looking to do this job.' I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I felt so humiliated.
克羅寧說：“我和幾個朋友在一起，決定去撐篙公司來試試我們是否可以在馬上就到的夏天來這里工作。我去跟管理船只的人交流，但當我問到工作的情況時，他上下打量了我，對我笑著說道，‘對不起年輕人，做這份工作得長得好看才行’。我恨不得鉆進地縫里，我感到無地自容?！?/div>

"This guy was tall, dark and good looking. I've been punting a few times and am sure that I could do the job. I don't see what the way I look has to do with getting the job. The way he spoke to me has put me off wanting to punt on the river ever again. It was so embarrassing. It's had a huge effect on my self esteem.”
"那個家伙確實是高大英俊的帥哥。我撐篙了多次，并且確信我可以做這個工作。我不認為我長什么樣對工作有影響。他對我說話的方式讓我沒有了在河上工作的想法。太令人尷尬了。這對我的自尊造成了很大的影響?！?/div>

The student has since complained to nearby punting company Scudamore's. The company has begun an investigation, but staff say they do not recognize the description given as a member of their team.
這個學生隨后向附近的達摩爾撐篙公司投訴。這家公司隨后開始調(diào)查，但是工作人員表示，根據(jù)克羅寧描述這人應該不是他們團隊的成員。

Rod Ingersent, general manager of Scudamore's, said: "The alleged comment is not something we endorse, as we recruit purely on the basis of work criteria and individual merit."
達摩爾公司的總經(jīng)理羅德-因格森說：“我們不認同所謂這樣的言論，因為我們的招聘純粹是基于工作標準和個人特點?！?/div>
