逆天廣告：印尼買房送媳婦

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絡上瘋傳，原因就是這則廣告中買房的贈品太稀奇——購房者將得到一個免費的媳婦。

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.
這則逆天的網絡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，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.
而買房也會有額外贈品，“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).
這則廣告將價錢和要求說明后，還明確提示：“非誠勿擾，不議價”。房子的地段在爪哇島，市場價是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用戶Boldies99這樣評論：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新聞的真實性，因為他們覺得這是一個虛假廣告。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.
這位兩個孩子的媽媽解釋說，她一開始只是讓一名做房產中介的朋友幫她找買主，同時最好能找到一個丈夫，而且她希望這消息只在小范圍內流傳就行了，不要放到網絡上。

"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.
“我跟一個做房產中介的朋友說，讓他幫我找一個要買房子的單身男或者鰥夫，而且他們也同時有娶妻的意愿，我們兩個可以接觸一下因為我是寡婦。”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，到目前只有一個潛在客戶，他周三過來看了房，不過她拒絕透露更多細節。
