世博千名小语种志愿者集结完毕

The World Expo 2010 organizer has recruited nearly 1,000 volunteers who can speak some of the world's less-spoken foreign languages - the largest such number in World Expo history, a senior Expo official said yesterday.
一位世博高级官员昨日透露，上海世博会已招募了近一千名稀少语种志愿者，是世博会历史上小语种志愿者人数最多的一次。

They'll speak languages other than Chinese, English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
他们将提供除英语、法语、西班牙语、阿拉伯语之外的小语种服务。

Non-English foreign language professionals are in great demand, as the bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination expects most foreign visitors to come from Japan, South Korea and other Asian countries near China.
