An Australian law firm has offered up a free divorce as a prize in a Red Cross auction to raise funds for victims of the Bali bombings. The divorce is just one of 100 prizes up for the auction to raise funds for the Australian Red Cross which is helping victims of the October 12 blasts on the Indonesian resort island that killed more than 180 people and wounded hundreds. Teena Gilbert, co-organizer of the charity auction at the Tracy Village Social and Sports Club in the northern city of Darwin, said the A$1,000 ($560) prize was being donated by a legal practice. "When my assistant first told me I thought, 'Oh God', I wouldn't like my husband to see me bidding for a divorce," Gilbert told reporters. "We hope to raise a lot of money for Bali. It's a horrific tragedy and it's touched a lot of hearts." Law firm owner Vanessa Farmer told the Australian Broadcasting Corp she did not necessarily expect the highest bidder for the prize to want a divorce. "But I've indicated we're going to honor it," she said.

在红十字会举办的一次旨在为巴厘岛爆炸案受害者筹款的拍卖会上，澳大利亚一家律师事务所提供了一份特别的奖品：一场免费的离婚官司。（2002年）10月12日印尼度假胜地巴厘岛发生爆炸事件，180人死亡，数百人受伤。澳洲红十字会为帮助受害者举办了这次筹款拍卖，拍卖会上有100份奖品，免费离婚只是其中之一。此次慈善拍卖地点在澳洲北部城市达尔文的特蕾西乡村社交及运动俱乐部，组织者之一蒂娜·吉尔伯特称这一价值1000澳元（560美元）的奖品来自一家法律服务机构。“当助手刚告诉我这件事情时，我想：‘噢，天啊！’我可不想让丈夫看见我竞买离婚，”吉尔伯特对记者说。“我们想为巴厘岛受害者筹一大笔钱。这是场可怕的悲剧，触动了许多人的心。”律师事务所业主瓦内萨·法默尔对澳洲广播公司说，她并不认为出价最高的竞买者就一定希望离婚，“但我已经说了，我们会兑现承诺。”

Remarks：离婚虽然不是必需品，先买来备着也好。看看前一篇文章就知道了——就算你不想离，万一被传染了呢？
