   A brand new store has just opened that sells Husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you ascend 1 the flights. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building。


  一家出售老公的商店全新开张了。女士们进去选择老公时,必须遵守写在门口的注意事项:你只能光临本店一次! 本店共有六层,店内商品的质量随楼层升高而提高。你可以在任何一层选择任意商品,你也可以选择登上下一层,但是,你不能往回走,除非你要离开商店。
  So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband。
  The 1st floor sign on the door reads:
  Floor 1: These men Have Jobs。
  The 2nd floor sign reads:
  Floor 2: These men Have Jobs and Love Kids。
  The 3rd floor sign reads:
  Floor 3: These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely Good Looking。
  一个女人来到“老公商店”寻找中意的老公。
  一楼门前的告示写着:
  一楼:这些男人有工作。
  二楼的告示写着:
  二楼:这些男人有工作, 且喜爱孩子。
  三楼:这些男人有工作, 喜爱孩子,且形象好。
  “Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the 4th floor and the sign reads:
  Floor 4: These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and help with Housework。
  “Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”
  Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:
  Floor 5: These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have a Strong Romantic Streak 2
  She is so tempted 3 to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads:
  Floor 6: You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely 4 as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store。
  “喔。”女人心里想着,却不自主地继续前行。她来到四楼,告示上写着:
  四楼:这些男人有工作,喜爱孩子,形象佳且愿意帮你做家务。
  “哦,上帝啊!”她惊呼道,“我快受不了了!”
  不过她依旧登上了五楼。告示写着:
  五楼:这些男人有工作, 喜爱孩子,形象极佳,愿意做家务且柔情似水。
  女人十分想待在这层,不过她还是登上了六楼,告示写着:
  六楼:你是本层楼第31456012位光顾者。本层没有男士。单独设置这一层是为了证明:女人是永远无法满足的。感谢您光临“老公商店”。
  To avoid gender 5 bias 6 charges, the store’s owner opens a New Wives store just across the street。
  The 1st first floor has wives that love sex。
  The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money. The 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th floors have never been visited。
  为了避免别人指责自己性别歧视,店主在街对面又开了家“老婆商店”。
  一楼的女人喜欢做爱。
  二楼的女人喜欢做爱且经济富裕。
  三、四、五、六楼从未有人光顾过。
