The personals 征婚启事

Things were really getting worse after the war. Life became so difficult that a lot of people lived in want（在贫困中）.

A newspaper had published an advertisement for a man in want of tires: "Owner of a truck would like to correspond with a widow who owns two tires. Object: matrimony（结婚）. Send picture of tires."

战后情况真是越来越糟了。生活变得非常艰难，缺少东西的人很多。

有一家报纸曾给一个需要轮胎的人登过一个这样的广告：“一部货车的车主愿意和一位备有两个轮胎的寡妇通信。目的：成婚。 要把轮胎的照片寄过来。”
