The Apprentice is a British reality television series in which a group of aspiring businessmen and women compete for the chance to work with the British business magnate Lord Sugar (previously known as "Sir Alan Sugar"). In series one to six, the prize was a £100,000-a-year job as an "apprentice" to Sugar, and winners went on to work at Amstrad, an electronics manufacturing company founded by Sugar (but since sold to BSkyB),[2][3] or one of Sugar's other companies, Viglen,[4] Amsprop[5] or Amshold.[6] In series seven, the prize changed to a £250,000 investment in a business of the candidate's creation, with Lord Sugar as a 50% owner. 《学徒》是英国一档真人秀节目，在这档节目中一群雄心勃勃的商业人员为了得到和英国商业大亨“休格王”（之前称作“艾伦休格先生”）一起工作的机会互相竞争。节目第一季到第六季所设奖励是获胜者将成为休格的“学徒”并有一份年薪10,0000英镑的工作。获胜者可以到休格创立的Amstrad电子制造公司工作（此公司现已完全归于BSkyB），或是休格的其它任何一个公司，如Viglen, Amsprop或Amshold。第七季中，奖励有所变动，增加了对参赛者创业的投资，资金为25,0000英镑现金，其中“休格王”参股50%。 The Apprentice, billed as a "job interview from hell", is very similar in format to the American series of the same name, which stars entrepreneur Donald Trump.[7] Both American and British versions of The Apprentice are produced by Mark Burnett. 有“地狱式面试”之称的《学徒》与美国的《学徒》真人秀形式极其相似，而美国的《学徒》由企业家唐纳德特朗普主持。两个版本的制作人均是马克伯奈特。 ----- 松鼠字幕新闻组稿
