Vocabulary

verify：核實(shí)

property agent：房產(chǎn)中介

An advert for a house in Indonesia has gone viral online after the woman selling it offered to throw in an unusual extra feature for free -- her hand in marriage.

近日，印尼一則賣房廣告在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上瘋傳，原因就是這則廣告中買房的贈(zèng)品太稀奇——購房者將得到一個(gè)免費(fèi)的媳婦。

The Internet ad reads for the most part like a regular house listing, saying that the single-storey property has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parking space and a fish pond.

這則逆天的網(wǎng)絡(luò)廣告大部分都和普通的售房廣告沒什么分別，比如房子是兩臥兩衛(wèi)，一停車場一魚塘。

But it also proposes to buyers a "rare offer" -- "when you buy this house, you can ask the owner to marry you", alongside a picture of Wina Lia, a 40-year-old widow and beauty salon owner, leaning against a car in front of the house.

而買房也會(huì)有額外贈(zèng)品，“君若買房，可娶佳人”，廣告上配有一張莉雅的照片，她年方40，喪夫，擁有一家美容院，照片上的她整個(gè)人斜斜地倚靠在房子前面的車上。

The ad said that terms and conditions apply, and notes the offer is "for serious buyers and non-negotiable". The house in Sleman, on the island of Java, is on the market for 999 million rupiah (about $75,000).

這則廣告將價(jià)錢和要求說明后，還明確提示：“非誠勿擾，不議價(jià)”。房子的地段在爪哇島，市場價(jià)是9.99億盧比（約合7.5萬美元）。

News of the offer quickly spread among Internet users in social media-crazy Indonesia.

這條新奇的廣告迅速在社交媒體盛行的印尼瘋傳。

Boldies99, a user on popular online forum Kaskus, said Lia was "quite smart -- even though the house will be sold, she will remain the owner."

知名論壇卡司庫的一個(gè)用戶Boldies99這樣評(píng)論：聰明！既賣了房，但她依然是房主。

Lia told AFP she was "shocked at the reaction", as she had been overwhelmed by journalists coming to interview her, and even the police in the conservative, Muslim-majority country had been asking questions.

莉雅告訴法新社記者她已經(jīng)被這樣的反映嚇到了，很多記者來采訪她，甚至連警察都來調(diào)查過。

The police "came to verify the news as they consider it as an improper advertisement. But I explained to them that it was not my idea," she said.

“警方過來是為了確認(rèn)新聞的真實(shí)性，因?yàn)樗麄冇X得這是一個(gè)虛假廣告。然后我跟他們解釋這些不是我的主意。”莉雅說。

The mother of two explained that she had asked a friend who was a property agent to help her find a buyer -- and in the process a husband -- but she had expected him to pass on the news to a limited number of people, not put an ad online.

這位兩個(gè)孩子的媽媽解釋說，她一開始只是讓一名做房產(chǎn)中介的朋友幫她找買主，同時(shí)最好能找到一個(gè)丈夫，而且她希望這消息只在小范圍內(nèi)流傳就行了，不要放到網(wǎng)絡(luò)上。

"I told a friend of mine who also works as property agent that if there is a buyer who is a single man or a widower who wants to buy a house, and at the same time look for a wife, he can let me know as I'm also a widow," she said.

“我跟一個(gè)做房產(chǎn)中介的朋友說，讓他幫我找一個(gè)要買房子的單身男或者鰥夫，而且他們也同時(shí)有娶妻的意愿，我們兩個(gè)可以接觸一下因?yàn)槲沂枪褘D。”她說。

She added that there was only one potential buyer, who had visited on Wednesday, but refused to give further details.

她表示，到目前只有一個(gè)潛在客戶，他周三過來看了房，不過她拒絕透露更多細(xì)節(jié)。
