Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the former army head who ousted his predecessor Mohammed Morsi, was widely mocked for his pledge as he laid out development plans last Wednesday.

阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西是埃及前軍隊(duì)首腦，取代埃及前總統(tǒng)穆罕默德·穆爾西上臺(tái)。上周三，塞西在發(fā)布經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展計(jì)劃時(shí)說了這句話，遭到許多人的冷嘲熱諷。

"If it were possible for me to be sold, I would sell myself," he said in a speech on the state television, where he also reportedly asked Egyptians to donate to public funds.

他在國家電視臺(tái)發(fā)表演講時(shí)說道：“如果可以賣出我自己(救國)，我也在所不辭。”據(jù)報(bào)道，在此次演講中，塞西還號(hào)召埃及人民向公共基金捐錢。

An eBay user quickly held the president to his word by putting him up for sale on a joke page.

搞笑的是，一名易趣用戶很快就將塞西掛到了網(wǎng)頁上“出售”，幫總統(tǒng)兌現(xiàn)了自己的誓言。

Bids from more than 100 users quickly rocketed to $100,000 but the page was taken down later on Wednesday.

有100多名“買家”為塞西出價(jià)，價(jià)格一度飆升至10萬美元，但拍賣頁面在當(dāng)天晚些時(shí)候被刪除。

Next to a photo of a laughing president Sisi, he was listed as a "slightly used" field marshal and doctor of philosophers with a military background, according to a translation by Foreign Policy.

根據(jù)《外交政策》發(fā)布的譯文，拍賣頁面上有一張塞西總統(tǒng)微笑的照片，而照片旁邊的文字將他列為“被輕微使用過的”陸軍元帥、有著軍事背景的哲學(xué)博士。

The seller, "dr_motown", told a potential buyer asking for more information the head of state had been used by "his previous owners".

“拍賣總統(tǒng)”的易趣賣家名叫“dr_motown”。他表示，有一位潛在買家還要求他提供有關(guān)總統(tǒng)被“前任主人”使用過的更多信息。

"Hey world, we decided to sell the infamous Egyptian Field Marshal and military coup leader Mr Abdel Fatah el-Sisi on eBay to bail out the Egyptian economy so you don't have to," the description read.

出售頁面的介紹這樣寫道：“世界，你好。我們決定出售臭名昭著的埃及陸軍元帥、軍事政變領(lǐng)袖阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·塞西，幫助埃及經(jīng)濟(jì)擺脫困境，這樣你們就能省點(diǎn)心了。”

"The field marshal himself stated that if selling himself will help, he will not hesitate to do it. So, we are doing it for him, for us and for the humanity.

頁面接著寫道：“陸軍元帥本人宣稱，如果出售他有用的話，他會(huì)毫不猶豫地去做。所以，我們是為了他才這么做的，也是為了我們自己和全人類才這么做的。”

"Please, bid now to help Egypt gain its political and economic independence...you will not regret it!"

“為了能幫助埃及重獲政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立……請(qǐng)買走總統(tǒng)吧!機(jī)不可失!”

Sisi was formerly Egypt's official military attache in Saudi Arabia and described himself as a doctor sent by God to inform world leaders, intelligence experts, politicians and the "greatest philosophers" in a speech last year.

塞西做過埃及駐沙特大使館武官。去年的一次演講中，他稱自己為博士，是上帝派來向世界領(lǐng)袖、情報(bào)專家、政治家以及“最偉大的哲學(xué)家”傳達(dá)旨意的信使。

Egypt is suffering from a sharp decline in tourism revenue following flight bans to Sharm el-Sheikh sparked by the downing of a Russian passenger jet.

俄羅斯客機(jī)墜毀后，多國禁航埃及沙姆沙伊赫，埃及的旅游收入因此巨減，經(jīng)濟(jì)遭受重創(chuàng)。

Visitors have also been deterred by social unrest and terrorist attacks across the country.

埃及的社會(huì)動(dòng)亂和恐怖主義襲擊，也使各國游客望而卻步。
