None of the intelligence officers I've ever met, sorry about this by the way, none of you look like the James Bond type.

我見過的所有情報人員，順便說一句，很抱歉，你們都不像詹姆斯-邦德那種人。

程度副詞

They're not superhuman, they're just ordinary people conducting a job that, in this case, keeps the UK safe.

他們不是超人，他們只是執行任務的普通人，在這種情況下，他們的任務是確保英國的安全。

詹姆斯-邦德會做一些不可思議的事情。

I would say that we don't have any real James Bonds in our organisation, sadly.

很遺憾，我們的組織中沒有真正的詹姆斯-邦德。

There are three kinds of intelligence agency in the United Kingdom.

MI6 is mostly concerned with threats from abroad.

軍情六處主要關注來自國外的威脅。

MI5 is mostly concerned with domestic threats.

And GCHQ does a lot of intelligence gathering around signals, intelligence, telecommunications and satellite surveillance.

GCHQ 從事大量圍繞信號、情報、電信和衛星監控的情報蒐集工作。

The intelligence services are facing numerous threats over the years, from the Second World War, when it's gathering intelligence on Nazi Germany, the Cold War, when we return yet again to monitoring the Soviet threat, terrorism, the rise of China, Russia.

多年來，情報部門面臨著無數威脅，從第二次世界大戰時收集納粹德國的情報，到冷戰時我們再次回到對蘇聯威脅的監控，再到恐怖主義、中國和俄羅斯的崛起。

Historically, recruitment was very opaque.

從歷史上看，招聘工作非常不透明。

There is the traditional idea of a tap on the shoulder at university, usually Oxbridge.

在大學，通常是牛津劍橋大學，有一種 "拍肩膀 "的傳統觀念。

During the Second World War, women proved their mettle in terms of being excellent spies.

在第二次世界大戰期間，女性證明了她們是出色的間諜。

But in the aftermath of the Second World War, the agencies went back to recruiting mostly male, mostly people from a particular elite background.

但在第二次世界大戰之後，這些機構又重新開始招募男性為主的人員，他們大多來自特定的精英背景。

It wasn't until 1973 that the marriage ban was lifted.

直到 1973 年，婚姻禁令才被取消。

Before then, women had to leave the secret intelligence service if they wanted to marry.

在此之前，女性如果想結婚，就必須離開祕密情報部門。

More recently, the chief of MI6, SIS, Richard Moore, actually issued an apology on behalf of his service on the attitudes towards LGBTQ plus individuals within his organisation for the preceding 40, 50 years.

最近，英國軍情六處（MI6）、英國情報局（SIS）的負責人理查德-摩爾（Richard Moore）實際上代表他的部門就其組織在過去 40、50 年中對男女同志、雙性戀和變性者的態度發表了道歉聲明。

My name's Jo and I work for GCHQ, the Government Communications Headquarters.

我叫喬，在政府通信總部工作。

Diversity is really, really important to us at GCHQ.

在 GCHQ，多樣性對我們非常非常重要。

Our work involves tackling some really kind of complex, knotty problems.

我們的工作涉及解決一些非常複雜、棘手的問題。

And in order to be successful at our mission, we need a real mix of minds.

為了成功完成使命，我們需要真正的人才組合。

So we need people from different backgrounds who've had different life experiences to come and work with us.

是以，我們需要來自不同背景、有著不同生活經歷的人來與我們合作。

Today, recruitment's actually changed quite a lot.

如今，招聘工作實際上已經發生了很大變化。

You can go on MI5 or MI6's website and apply direct to the intelligence agencies.

您可以登錄軍情五處或軍情六處的網站，直接向情報機構提出申請。

I think definitely the tap on the shoulder is not something that happens these days.

我認為，拍肩膀的事如今肯定不會再發生了。

I work as an intelligence analyst in GCHQ.

我在英國皇家情報總部擔任情報分析師。

I heard about this role on a recruitment website.

我是在一個招聘網站上聽說這個職位的。

I wasn't sure if it was what it was really about because the description was quite limited.

我不確定這是否是它真正的內容，因為描述非常有限。

But I knew I always wanted to work in the public sector, so I thought I'd give it a go and just applied.

但我知道自己一直想在公共部門工作，所以我想試一試，就申請了。

There isn't one type of person that the intelligence agencies are looking for.

情報機構要找的人不是一種類型。

You couldn't have the kind of cold-hearted, misogynistic loner that James Bond represents in the intelligence agencies today because they wouldn't be able to function as part of a team.

在當今的情報機構中，不可能出現詹姆斯-邦德所代表的那種冷酷無情、厭惡女性的獨行俠，因為他們無法作為團隊的一員發揮作用。

The one overriding characteristic you need as an intelligence officer is discretion.

作為一名情報官員，最重要的一點就是謹慎。

You can't have people blabbing about what they do and then saying, or to their friends, because that is a security threat.

你不能讓人們把他們做的事情說出來，然後說給他們的朋友聽，因為這是對安全的威脅。

We're really looking for people who can work as a team.

我們正在尋找能夠團隊合作的人才。

We want people who are thoughtful, are kind and considerate, care about the people they're working with and also care about doing the right thing and keeping the country safe.

我們需要的是有思想、善良、體貼、關心與他們共事的人，同時也關心做正確的事和維護國家安全的人。

I think being patient is really important for our job.

我認為耐心對我們的工作非常重要。

Sometimes it's really difficult to have all the answers.

I think it's really important as well to be a bit creative with your solutions.

我認為，在解決方案上有點創意也非常重要。

Sometimes we have a lot of data, so it's good to be able to think of unique and creative ways to look at that data.

有時，我們會有很多數據，是以，能夠想出獨特而有創意的方法來查看這些數據是件好事。

Some of the obstacles for us are the stereotypes that are out there in the James Bond films and other fiction around what spies are like and what people working for our organisations look like and how they behave.

我們面臨的一些障礙是詹姆斯-邦德（James Bond）電影和其他小說中對間諜形象的刻板印象，以及對我們組織工作人員的形象和行為的刻板印象。

I was definitely aware of the spy stereotypes in terms of UK government security and I was a bit nervous of that.

在英國政府安全方面，我肯定意識到了間諜的刻板印象，我對此有點緊張。

I think I was more nervous of particularly not fitting in, maybe being a female from a certain background, sticking out like a sore thumb.

我想我更緊張的是無法融入社會，也許作為一個有特定背景的女性，我就像一個大拇指一樣顯眼。

Well, they may not be as handsome as Daniel Craig or Sean Connery, but still the majority of people who are recruited into the agencies are male.

也許他們沒有丹尼爾-克雷格（Daniel Craig）或肖恩-康納利（Sean Connery）那麼英俊，但被招募到特工部門的大多數人都是男性。

The agencies are varied in terms of how they've been able to put diversity into practice.

在如何將多樣性付諸實踐方面，各機構的情況各不相同。

MI5, the security service, was the first one to have a female lead.

軍情五處（MI5）是第一個有女主角的安全部門。

GCHQ has also now had a female lead appointed to the agency.

GCHQ 現在也任命了一位女性上司。

MI6, as of 2023, hasn't yet had a female leader of the organisation.

截至 2023 年，軍情六處還沒有女性領導人。

In 2018, the UK's Intelligence and Security Committee released a report that looked at involvement from black, ethnic minority background groups within the intelligence community.

2018 年，英國情報與安全委員會發布了一份報告，對黑人、少數民族背景群體參與情報界的情況進行了調查。

Around 7-8% of the workforce come from these underrepresented groups and in all areas there was much room for improvement.

約有 7-8% 的員工來自這些代表性不足的群體，在所有領域都有很大的改進空間。

We talk about diversity as being mission critical in GCHQ and that's because we have to solve some really difficult, complex problems.

我們說多樣性是 GCHQ 的關鍵任務，這是因為我們必須解決一些非常困難、複雜的問題。

And in order to do that, we need people who think differently from one another.

要做到這一點，我們需要思維方式不同的人。

We need people who will come at problems from a different angle.

我們需要能從不同角度解決問題的人。

The intelligence agencies are recruiting from diverse backgrounds because operationally it's important.

情報機構從不同的背景中招募人員，因為這在行動上很重要。

You need an intelligence officer who might understand the culture and the environment they're going to be operating in.

你需要一名情報官員，他可能瞭解他們將要在其中開展行動的文化和環境。

It's a really inclusive environment and it's really friendly and supportive so I would genuinely say to anyone who is thinking about it to definitely give it a go.

這是一個包容性很強的環境，非常友好，支持性也很強，所以我真心地對任何有這個想法的人說，一定要試一試。
