Most of the people I've known, their parents pay their rent for them, or bought their house for them. It seems like it's everybody.
我认识的人里,大多数房租由父母支付,或者房子干脆是父母买的。感觉差不多人人都这样。
I'm trying to think of people that pay for their own housing that's under 40, but it's very few.
我在努力回想40岁以下自己付房钱的人,但非常少。
This really shouldn't be an acceptable situation for anybody. People should be able to afford housing without having to be a boomer with an investment account that spent the last 50 years compounding.
这本不该是任何人都能接受的局面。人们应该买得起房,而不是非得当一个复利滚了50年的、有投资账户的婴儿潮老登。
People get their meager little existence, relying on other people paying their housing. And they don't see anything being wrong with this situation. Because they have just a little bit of something, and as long as they own a house and most people their age don't then everything is fine and dandy.
人们领着那份寒酸的小日子,靠别人替他们付房钱,还觉得这没什么问题。因为他们好歹有点小东西,只要自己有房而同龄人大多没有,那就岁月静好。
I'm saying people should be able to afford basic housing off a basic wage. But most people will scream bloody murder. It's like, even though their life is shitty and they could never afford it on their own, everything is perfect and great as long as they have a little bit more than others do. I don't think this is something they should be defending.
我是说人们应该靠一份基本工资付得起基本住房。但大多数人会跳脚骂娘。就好像:虽然他们日子过得稀烂、靠自己永远买不起,但只要比别人多那么一点点,一切就完美了。我不觉得这值得他们去捍卫。
