對話2
Welcome to the Morning Show.Our guest today is a popular blog writer and a major figure in the tiny home community.Welcome, Bob Jones.
歡迎來到《Morning Show》。我們今天的嘉賓是一位受歡迎的博客作者，也是小型住宅社區(qū)的重要人物。歡迎，鮑勃·瓊斯。
Hi, Mary.
嗨，瑪麗。
Hi, Bob. You are an advocate of the tiny home movement.
嗨，鮑勃。你是小型住宅運動的倡導者。
A lot of people don't know about this movement. Can you tell our audience what it's about?
很多人不了解這個運動。你能告訴我們的觀眾這是關于什么的嗎？
Well, it's mainly about increasing homeownership and protecting the environment.
嗯，這主要是關于增加房屋自有率和保護環(huán)境。
Of course, those are great goals. But I've seen your blog and you write about houses that are as small as 20 square meters.
當然，這些都是偉大的目標。但我看了你的博客，你寫到了只有20平方米的房子。
That's not a realistic size for families.
這對家庭來說并不現實。
I do talk about very small homes, but there's no set definition of a tiny home. And other people include homes that are much larger, say, 60 square meters.
我確實談到了非常小的房子，但小型住宅并沒有固定的定義。其他人也包括更大的房子，比如說60平方米。
And you'd be surprised. Many families of four are happy living in houses that are under 30 square meters.
你會感到驚訝的。很多四口之家都樂意住在不到30平方米的房子里。
But I think most of us want spacious homes. The average new house in this area is 150 square meters, and that's what people dream of owning.
但我認為我們大多數人還是想要寬敞的房子。這個地區(qū)的新房平均面積是150平方米，這也是人們夢寐以求的。
Yes, but I think that dream needs to be reconsidered, considering the cost of housing.
是的，但我認為考慮到房價，這個夢想需要重新考慮。
Housing costs are high. But do people really save that much by having a smaller home?
房價很高。但人們真的能通過住小房子省下很多錢嗎？
Absolutely. Many people who can only afford to rent a larger home are able to buy a tiny home in this city. The average home cost $200,000,and a tiny home costs just $50,000.
當然。很多只能租得起大房子的人在這個城市能買得起小房子。普通房子要20萬美元，而小房子只要5萬美元。
Those are huge savings.
這能省下很大一筆錢。
So tiny homes might not be for everyone, but they are a good option for many.
所以小房子可能并不適合每個人，但對很多人來說是個不錯的選擇。
You mentioned the environment earlier. How does this benefit the planet?
你之前提到了環(huán)境。這對地球有什么好處呢？
Well, if people have smaller homes, they use less land and fewer resources to build them.
嗯，如果人們住小房子，他們建房子就會用更少的土地和資源。
