文字稿

Tackling the cost of living crisis by buying a house on wheels.

為了應(yīng)對(duì)英國(guó)的生活成本危機(jī)，大衛(wèi)和貝基買(mǎi)下了這套裝了輪子的房屋。

David Westwood    
"Living in a tiny house has, I would say, drastically increased our quality of life. Our outgoings are half of what they used to be."

大衛(wèi)·韋斯特伍德      
 “住在迷你住宅里大大提高了我們的生活質(zhì)量。我們現(xiàn)在的開(kāi)支是過(guò)去的一半。”

David and Becky used to pay ￡1,200 monthly to rent in London.

大衛(wèi)和貝基過(guò)去在倫敦租房時(shí)，每月交1200英鎊的房租。

They bought their tiny house for ￡46,000 three years ago. Now they pay ￡600 monthly for the pitch which includes bills.

三年前，他們花了4.6萬(wàn)英鎊買(mǎi)下了這套迷你住宅。現(xiàn)在，他們每月只交600英鎊的營(yíng)地租金，租金包括水電等費(fèi)用。

Becky Warren          
"We don't have that significant pressure of rent or mortgage."

貝基·沃倫   
“我們沒(méi)有交房租或房貸的巨大壓力。”

Becky is a full-time academic. The change in lifestyle enabled David to give up his gardening job.

貝基是一名全職學(xué)者。搬進(jìn)迷你住宅，生活方式發(fā)生改變，經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力減小，所以大衛(wèi)辭掉了他的園藝工作。

David Westwood    
"We just haven't really felt the pinch. I've been recording our journey in the tiny house on our YouTube channel. We have the kitchen area, and then towards the front of the house – our bathroom in there. And then at the other end of the house, we have our living space. Up the stairs, or ladder, should I say, you arrive at our main bedroom. Watch your head because there's not much headroom up here. People are interested in living in a tiny house and what that entails."

大衛(wèi)·韋斯特伍德       
“我們沒(méi)有感到生活很拮據(jù)。我一直在通過(guò)我們的 YouTube 頻道記錄我倆在迷你住宅里的生活點(diǎn)滴。這里是廚房區(qū)域，房子前面是浴室。在迷你住宅的另一頭是我們的生活空間。沿著梯子上去，就到了主臥。小心碰頭，因?yàn)轭^頂上方的空間不大。網(wǎng)友們對(duì)住在迷你住宅里的體驗(yàn)很感興趣。”

Becky Warren         
"I enjoy the freedom that it gives – the financial freedom, but also the physical freedom."

貝基·沃倫   
“我很享受住在迷你住宅里給我?guī)?lái)的自由，這不只是財(cái)務(wù)自由，還有移動(dòng)出行的自由。”

David Westwood    
"It's our home. We love living here. It gives us everything and more that a house or a flat could do."

大衛(wèi)·韋斯特伍德   
“這個(gè)迷你住宅就是我們的家。我們很享受這里的生活。迷你住宅給了我們普通房子或公寓能帶來(lái)的一切好處，甚至還更好。”

Becky Warren         
"We are much more connected to outdoors. We travel a lot and living in the tiny house gives us the capacity to be able to do that."

貝基·沃倫   
“我們的戶外活動(dòng)更多了。我們經(jīng)常旅行，住在迷你住宅里讓我們有能力經(jīng)常去旅行。”

David Westwood    
"The tiny house has had such a huge impact on our life. Our quality of life has just increased dramatically. It's night and day. I can't ever imagine going back to a normal house again."

大衛(wèi)·韋斯特伍德   
“迷你住宅給我們的生活帶來(lái)了巨大的改變。我們的生活質(zhì)量得到了大幅度的提升。與過(guò)去相比真是天壤之別。我無(wú)法想象再回到普通房子里住會(huì)是什么樣。”
