老公专卖店 Husbands for sale

我的好朋友007李牧师寄给我这篇文章(不知道哪里弄来的),我觉得真的很幽默,可能也有几分真实,所以把它翻译成中文跟大家分享。。。男人读了会开怀大笑,女人读了千万不要太生气,当作是开玩笑就好。。。哈哈哈哈!

My good friend, Pastor James Bond Billy Lee sent me this article (don’t know where he got it from), I find it very humourous and perhaps to some extent quite true, so I translated it into Chinese and posted it here to share with you all… Men will laugh heartily after reading, but hopefully women will not be too mad, just take it as a joke… Hahahaha!

老公专卖店  ( Husbands for Sale )

某家专门售卖老公的商店刚在纽约市开张,任何一位未嫁的女子都可以到那里选货,买个老公回家。。。
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City , where an unmarried woman may go to choose and buy a husband to bring home…

P8310747

商店门口清楚指示:“一个人规定只可以光顾这店一次!”
这店总共有六层楼,所售卖的男人的品质和优点也随着每层楼上升。。。但有一个条件是:在任何一层你都可以选你所要的老公,若不然你可以选择再上一层楼;然而一上去了,就不可以再下来挑之前看过的。。。走完就是出口了,没有办法再走下来之前到过的底层!

Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: “You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!”
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch …. You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

话说有个女子来这店光顾,希望买到一个理想老公。。。
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband…

P8310745

她到了第一层时。。。
第一层门口的告示牌这样写着:“这里的男士都有工作,个个都爱主!”
She comes to the first floor…
On the first floor the sign on the door reads: “Floor 1 – These men have jobs and love the Lord!”

P9011254

她打算上第二楼。。。
第二层的告示牌写着:“这里的男士都有工作,个个都爱主,也爱小孩!”
She decides to go to the second floor…
The second floor sign reads: “Floor 2 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids!”

_MG_4948-2

再上一层楼。。。
第三层的告示牌写着:“这里的男士都有工作,个个都爱主,也爱小孩,而且长得很好看!”
“哇!”她不经意的发出一声轻叹,但是里面有一股很强烈的感动一定要更上一层楼。。。
Up another floor…
The third floor sign reads: “Floor 3 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids and are extremely good looking!”
“Wow!” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going…

所以她再上到第四层。。。
第四层的告示牌写着:“这里的男士都有工作,个个都爱主,也爱小孩,而且长得叫人窒息的超级帅,又会帮忙做家务!”
“哦,求主怜悯!”她惊叹!“我几乎受不了了!”。。。So she goes to the fourth floor…
The fourth floor sign reads: “Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework!”
“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”…

P8310739

虽然如此,她还是充满信心的继续上到第五层。。。
第五层的告示牌说:“这里的男士都有工作,个个都爱主,也爱小孩,而且长得叫人窒息的超级帅,又会帮忙做家务,而且也非常浪漫!”
看了第五层的告示牌,她真的很被吸引就留在这一层吧,但最后还是决定再上到最后的第六层。。。
Still, she goes to the fifth floor with great faith…
The fifth floor sign reads: “Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak!”
After reading the fifth floor sign, she is so tempted to stay here, but finally she decides to go up just one more floor to the sixth floor…

P1020060

第六层的告示牌这样写着:“你是第4,363,012拜访这一层的顾客,这一层没有老公出售。这一层存在的目的只是为了证明女人是无法满足的!谢谢您光顾老公售卖店!出去时请注意台阶,祝你平安!”
The sixth floor sign reads: “Floor 6 – You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please! Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store!  Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!”

P8310760

哈哈哈哈!很好笑吧?姐妹们,如果是你,你会停在哪一层啊?我想全部大概也会爬到第六层吧!哈哈哈哈哈。。。。
Hahahaha! Very funny, right? Sisters, if it were you, which floor would you have stopped? I bet all will reach the sixth floor too! Hahahahaha…..

但请注意!!!相片只是公司广告样本,相中人也非本公司售卖产品,谢谢!!

  • Emmanuel Reuben

    if my picture there, all will choose me……… hahahaha…….

  • GN

    Aiyo, with this blog, you might get our pastor Billy into trouble … Ladies might be mad with him…but the article is funny and partially true… Hahaha…..

    • Billy Lee

      Oops! Sorry ladies but it is true le…Ladies are fussy when it comes to choosing a husband, esp Kuching ladies. (oops again. Don’t be so quick to throw stone le…relax, let me explain first). Up till today, I still cannot understand why so many young handsome men in Blessed Church are not taken up yet. Really I don’t understand. If that store is located in Spore, that handsome young man in level 1 (that one standing in the middle) sure kena snap up long time ago. How come he is still leylong(ing) in level 1 after so many years (yes, after so many years), I cannot understand..sigh. Kuching ladies, if you all don’t want, can shift the store to Spore or not?

      • http://gtlim.com gtlim

        Sigh…. ‘cos he is offered in Level 1, most people wouldn’t buy anything so soon….

      • Claudia-siawfung

        Huh? meaning to say our pastor Lim is offered in level 1?

        Naaahhhh…not possible. He belongs to level 5 hahaha.

        Rrrriiiggghhhttt, pastor?

      • GN

        Hahaha… Pastor Billy, you really can joke but maybe Pastor Lim can take your advice to re-arrange the photos to higher levels to test water in Kuching. :-)

      • Alison

        Ps Billy, the product got a ‘DON’T TOUCH! NOT FOR SALE’ sign hanging in front. So how could the ladies snap up? So can only say, ‘Ai yo, sayang!’.

      • Billy Lee

        Allison…原来如此!是他们男人玩hard-to-get. 那就怪错了Kuching 的女人. 很抱歉,真对不起!
        那就算了…不必把他们搬到Spore 来。就让他们继续留在店里玩他们的hard-to-get吧!

  • Jane Doe

    Any exit to the roof?

  • Alison

    Ha..Ha..ha..very funny….but if there is such a store, then it will close down very soon…. Guess why??!!

    • eunice

      Cos their business is not good… cant even sell one guy… haha…

      • Alison

        You are so right Eunice….they have to close shop. With no sales and high rental (6 floors), who can tahan??!! Remember to claim your gift from me. Ha..ha..

  • http://charlene_wong1993@hotmail.com Teresa ng

    .Husbands for sale. Before i read down ,i asked myself are husbands so bad that the wives wanted to sale them off….ha ha then i read down .oh.. is going to a store. Earlier time most of the woman will just stop at level one cos shy,n not daring…But nowadays the ladies sure go up to the top even if empty handed. they are still happy laughing away. …is still good to stay single cos they already found a special loved one ..JESUS in their hearts.

  • GN

    Did anybody feedback that one of the ladies and gentlemen in the photos look a bit similar to actress “金燕玲” and actor “馮德倫”. I also find Pastor Billy looks a bit like one of the actors in the long drama serial “真情”, that person who played the role as doctor, “好姨” husband.:-)

    • Billy Lee

      Really huh? I did not see the show but I guess he must look quite good-looking too, right? I used to be in level 3, under: “These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids and are extremely good looking!”. But I was snapped up – 24 yrs ago. My poor friends, still there…can’t recognize some of them already.

      • GN

        That character is quite good looking and has a kind heart. Of course you were snapped up long ago…… Still remember you showed us your ROM photo last 2 weeks in church ?…… Handsome man goes with pretty lady …. Very compatible :-) To be frank, you and “Mu Shi Niang” are getting younger in looks and more radiant. Praise God !

      • Billy Lee

        Oh…so you were in our church service that week…good to know I’m not the only one from 蒙恩教会 contributing in pastor’s blog.

  • sarah

    wow…so lame..but its really funny…haha…of course evry girl wish to have a nice husband ma…

  • ESTHER CHIANG

    哈哈哈!太好笑了,嗯~牧師!你們教會的姐妹“漂亮”耶!還蠻白的〈我以為
    生長在接近赤道的馬來西亞的人大部份會比較黑一些~抱歉有些先入為主了,別生氣喔!〉
    嗯!對一般來講文中的敘訴還蠻真實的。但也並非全部的女孩子都
    是如此選老公的吧!有一些女孩子選老公之前會禱告尋求神的心意及話語呀!
    因為神再乎關於我們的事,all right?〈哦!sorry,嚴肅了點,但卻也是事實〉
    咦!牧師,怎麼最近幾周都沒看到你的“主日講道實錄”呀!您願意再分享嗎?
    期待耶!!

  • GN

    • Billy Lee

      Haha…thanks to my pastor friend who knows that he need to “tong-pang” my face in his blog to give me some publicity. Otherwise, who will know this hokkien pastor from Spore? Haha…

  • 阿豪

  • chris

  • ANDY LAU

    牧师 我的表妹問第一层的中間那个男孩的标价多少?

      天价。。。

      • ANDY LAU

        牧师 我要努力向主祷告 問到底主会以多少价碼脫售你 哈哈

      • http://gtlim.com gtlim

        Andy, 你是哪一个Andy? 我认识的吗?你在帮谁shopping啊?

      • ANDY LAU

        牧师 我是众美女所私委托的婚姻經紀人 如果你不結婚的話 恐怕有很多委托人会失望oh !

  • ANDY LAU

    牧师 如果你去做你的 teeth的話 一定更好价 (牧师 請不要angry oh ! :) oh wait wait ! 我的表妹說她最喜欢的就是你的teeth !

  • GN

    I realised this blog of yours seems to be getting good response. I think quite soon it might beat your jumping photo blog (esp. with your die-hard fan Andy keep targeting at you, hahaha). What do you think ?

    • http://gtlim.com gtlim

      I agree, lots of responses indeed! Guess many are interested in topics like this, and obviously there are many desperate people out there…hahaha!

      • GN

        Hahaha…so you must thank God that u r being targeted at coz not everybody can get such a privilege. Er…… I think it is a waste to put u at 1st level, perhaps u should have moved up to 6th level alry. I guess Pastor Billy will be happy to see this coz u r his good friend. :-)

  • 信念

    我觉得教会应该要做相亲的活动…这样才不会有售不出的货品嘛!!!

  • 信念

    哈哈哈….很好笑!!!

  • Bell

    I think every single lady prefer floor5 lar… rational choice!

  • Bell

    Hello guys, the ladies nowadays have high self-respect n ‘high class’ taste. They don act like Andy said lar! Sis n Bro, Agree? ;-)

  • 感恩の小羊

    依我所看呀,50%正确和50%不正确咯。。。女人虽不容易满足,高挑,但到了适当的年龄呀,大多数会在第一层就卡住了。姐妹们呀你们说?。。。『不是吗』?哈哈哈哈哈哈哈!!!

    • GN

      Hmm ….. Generally, I think those stopping at level 1 are not restricted only to women, men too, right ? But most importantly, better not be hasty to get settled down because the age is “ripe” or pressure from elders as unless this thing is done in accordance to GOD’s will, if not, instead of settling something, we are adding another problem to ourselves. :-)

      • 感恩の小羊

        yeah, you are right. this kind of pressures our pastor feel it too. :D that’s true, wait upon God’s will. But God Himself gave us chances to choose, and He will decide. so i believe that we are not just to prays and keep on waiting for them to drop from sky, we must do something, then God can continue to do something too… sometime, people that so hard to please, will be end up with nothing also, bcz maybe God’s will is at level 1, but we keep on going up, then we will miss the point. so every time we choose must pray to God to take a view 1st before we decide next… haha… :D

    • GN

      Wow Wow… Lengthy theory … your personal experience ? Proven successful ? Hahaha….. We choose and God decides ?? Err…… what if we have made the choice and God has a ultimate say “NO” ? Haha… I personally feel that it is better to let Him choose and decide so as to avoid 冤枉路 。。。哈哈。。。But you do have your good and valid point… God helps those who help themselves…If God has chosen and decide for us and have even make clear His decision to us ….then we just have to obey and let the Spirit lead us to whatever action that are required of us…. GOD BLESS YOU ! :-)

      • 感恩の小羊

        haha… agree too… if let say God ultimate say “NO”, but we continue take our choice, something will keep going wrong… this i experienced… haha… :D

    • ESTHER CHIANG

      我們的神〝萬軍之耶和華〞有〝絕對的主權〞,若真實的愛祂〈不是以祂能給你甚麼而是單單用單純的心愛祂〉,明白天父的心,認識天父的心;你便能明白、知道神要給你的是什麼,要你做什麼了。

      • 感恩の小羊

        阿门。大卫就是这种人。我们要学大卫的『合神心意』。:)

  • 感恩の小羊

    牧师,这个不用登出来,我只是想说,这一篇留言板有点故障。它的留言排列时间错误,最后两个留言不该是在那个位置的。谢谢:)

    • 感恩の小羊

      怎么您还是登出来呀?T_T
