印度尼西亚房屋出租——外带免费老婆
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.
最近，印度尼西亚的一个房屋出租广告在网上疯传，因为女房东还会给房客一个难得一见的免费福利，那就是，她的婚姻。
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.
此条网络招租广告其他部分和一般的广告并不差别，房子只有一层，有两个卧室，两个洗手间，一个停车位还有一个鱼塘。
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.
但是它还为租客提供一个“罕见的福利”——“如果你买下这座房子，可以要求女房东嫁给你“，旁边还附上了女房东Wina Lia在房间倚靠着一辆车的照片。房东目前40岁，是个寡妇，经营一家美容院。
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).
广告中说需得符合条件才可申请，并注明“非诚勿扰，不议价”。 房子坐落在爪哇岛的曼县，市值99.9亿卢比(约75000美元)。
News of the offer quickly spread among Internet users in social media-crazy Indonesia.
印度尼西亚本就是个社交媒体发达的国家，这则消息一出，立刻红遍了网络。
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."
一位叫做Boldies99的网友在当地流行的Kaskus论坛上说：“这女的太精明了，就算房子卖出去了，她还是房主。”
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.
Lia告诉法新社说“大家的反应让她很震惊”，因为广告发出去以后，记者一窝蜂都抢来采访她，甚至持保守意见的警察也来查问，在这个穆斯林占大多数的国家，人们都对这个消息感到好奇。
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.
警察“来向我求证新闻的真实性，他们认为广告内容不太妥。但是我向他们解释这并不是我的主意，”她说道。
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.
作为两个孩子的妈妈，她曾让一个做房地产中介的朋友帮忙寻一个买家——顺便找到丈夫当然最好——但是她说自己本以为朋友只对一小部分人发放消息，没想到会挂到网上去。
"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.
Lia 说，“我对一个做房地产中介的朋友说如果有买家刚好是单身或是鳏夫，并且也想娶妻的话，那他可以向对方透露我是个寡妇。”
She added that there was only one potential buyer, who had visited on Wednesday, but refused to give further details.
她还表示目前只有一个有希望的买家，周三时去看过房子，不过她并不愿透露其他细节。
