对话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.
欢迎来到《Morning Show》。我们今天的嘉宾是一位受欢迎的博客作者，也是小型住宅社区的重要人物。欢迎，鲍勃·琼斯。
Hi, Mary.
嗨，玛丽。
Hi, Bob. You are an advocate of the tiny home movement.
嗨，鲍勃。你是小型住宅运动的倡导者。
A lot of people don't know about this movement. Can you tell our audience what it's about?
很多人不了解这个运动。你能告诉我们的观众这是关于什么的吗？
Well, it's mainly about increasing homeownership and protecting the environment.
嗯，这主要是关于增加房屋自有率和保护环境。
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.
当然，这些都是伟大的目标。但我看了你的博客，你写到了只有20平方米的房子。
That's not a realistic size for families.
这对家庭来说并不现实。
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.
我确实谈到了非常小的房子，但小型住宅并没有固定的定义。其他人也包括更大的房子，比如说60平方米。
And you'd be surprised. Many families of four are happy living in houses that are under 30 square meters.
你会感到惊讶的。很多四口之家都乐意住在不到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.
但我认为我们大多数人还是想要宽敞的房子。这个地区的新房平均面积是150平方米，这也是人们梦寐以求的。
Yes, but I think that dream needs to be reconsidered, considering the cost of housing.
是的，但我认为考虑到房价，这个梦想需要重新考虑。
Housing costs are high. But do people really save that much by having a smaller home?
房价很高。但人们真的能通过住小房子省下很多钱吗？
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.
当然。很多只能租得起大房子的人在这个城市能买得起小房子。普通房子要20万美元，而小房子只要5万美元。
Those are huge savings.
这能省下很大一笔钱。
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适合每个人，但对很多人来说是个不错的选择。
You mentioned the environment earlier. How does this benefit the planet?
你之前提到了环境。这对地球有什么好处呢？
Well, if people have smaller homes, they use less land and fewer resources to build them.
嗯，如果人们住小房子，他们建房子就会用更少的土地和资源。
