  Do you ever feel sick of your life? Then why not sell it?

  你曾经厌倦过自己的生活吗?那么何不出售人生?

  This is exactly what one man is attempting to do following the breakdown of his marriage. Ian Usher, a 44-year-old British man living in Australia, is using the online auction site eBay to sell not only his belongings, but his entire life.

  有个男人在婚姻破裂后,就正在尝试做这样的事情。这个叫伊恩·亚瑟,家住

澳大利亚的44岁英国男人,不仅正在拍卖网站易趣上出售他的个人用品,还在出售他的人生。

  Up for grabs are his house and everything that's in it: his car, his jetski, his parachuting gear, even his pots and pans.

  可供选购的拍品包括他的房子以及涵盖其中的全部物品,比如他的车、喷气滑水艇、跳伞装备,甚至包括水壶和锅。

  The lovelorn Mr Usher said he no longer wanted to be reminded of the life he shared with his ex-wife, and hopes the sale will raise funds for a life-changing adventure.

  失恋的亚瑟说,他不想再回忆和前妻共渡的时光,他希望这次的出售可以为他想要改变生活的冒险尝试集资。

  He said that once the sale has gone through, he plans to "walk out of his front door with his wallet in one pocket and his passport in the other," and see where the next plane takes him.

  他说一旦商品售出,他便计划“一个口袋揣钱包,另一个口袋揣护照,从前门走出”,然后看看下一次航班会载他去往何地。
