By her advice I published my address in the advertisement column.

我和她商量以后，在报纸广告栏里登出了我的住址。

Especially I read and re-read the advertisement columns, but without result.

尤其是广告专栏， 我读了又读， 但没有结果。

I consulted advertisement columns, I kept my eyes open for a chance, I looked in at the windows of stationers' shops, but all in vain.

我查阅广告栏， 我睁大眼睛寻找机会， 我从文具店的橱窗里看， 但都是徒劳。
