导读:美国犹他州盐湖城一名男子近日发现,他的父亲悄悄为他在报纸上刊登了一整页个人广告,为他征婚。而这一广告已经红遍大江南北。
Dads are famous for the adorably embarrassing things they do to their children.
父亲们常常以他们为子女做的令人尴尬的事而闻名。
However, this Utah father’s act might have gone a bit too far for his 48-year-old son.
不过,这位美国犹他州的父亲为48岁儿子所做的事,可是更让人哭笑不得。
Salt Lake City businessman Baron Brooks said he was mortified when he saw his own smiling face on a full-page newspaper ad in a North Idaho paper, the Coeur d’Alene Press.
犹他州盐湖城的商人巴伦.布鲁克斯说,当他看到自己的那张笑脸被刊登在科达伦出版社北爱达荷报整页的广告版面时,感到非常囧。
“I am looking for a wife who is ready, willing and able to have children as soon as possible," the ad in the Coeur d’Alene Press read.
广告是这样写的,“我正在找寻一个准备、愿意、能尽快生孩子的妻子”。
The notice listed an age range — 34 to 38 — and assorted other demands, including that the woman agree to be a stay-at-home mom and that she be conservative.
广告上还写着女性的年龄范围——最好在34到38岁之间,还有一些其他的要求,比如愿意当家庭主妇,以及得是保守派。
“If you voted for Obama or plan to vote for Hillary you are not for me.”
“如果你曾为奥巴马投票,或者计划投票给希拉里,那么你和我不合适。”
He said his 78-year-old father, Arthur Brooks, placed the ad looking for a wife for his son.
巴伦说,他78岁的父亲亚瑟布鲁克斯刊登的这则广告。
"If I die now, I want it to be known by medical science, that one can die from embarrassment," he told Q13 News.
他告诉Q13新闻记者,“如果我现在死了,我想要医学家们知道,一个人是有可能尴尬死的。”
Baron said his father didn’t ask his permission to place the $900 ad and he had no idea until he started getting tons of phone calls.
巴伦说,父亲未经过他的允许就花900美元登了这则广告,直到他不停的接到电话,才发现此事。
It includes a brief description of Baron with a photo and the ideal attributes of his suitable mate.
广告上还有对巴伦的简介,附有一张照片,以及对他的理想伴侣的一些要求。
Baron said he doesn’t want to hurt his father’s feelings so he is allowing his dad to go ahead and interview candidates to be his future wife.
虽然Baron并不乐意,但他表示为了不伤父亲的心,他愿意与符合条件并联系他的女士见面。
The deadline for applicants is June 25.
广告表示,征婚的最后期限是6月25日。
