澳洲富豪蒂姆?古納日前表示，年輕人買(mǎi)不起房不是由于萬(wàn)年不漲的工資，也不是因?yàn)楦呗柸朐频姆績(jī)r(jià)，而是他們自己的消費(fèi)習(xí)慣造成的。如果他們不吃牛油果吐司，不喝高級(jí)咖啡，把外出就餐的錢(qián)省下來(lái)，就可以買(mǎi)下自己的住房。原來(lái)買(mǎi)房這么簡(jiǎn)單？只要不吃牛油果就好了？網(wǎng)友們顯然對(duì)這一建議并不買(mǎi)賬。

Can’t afford to buy your own home? Silly you! Owning a property is actually as simple as giving up avocado toast and fancy coffee. Haven't you heard?
買(mǎi)不起房子？傻瓜！不知道嗎？想買(mǎi)房，戒掉牛油果吐司和高級(jí)咖啡就好了！

That’s according to Australian millionaire Tim Gurner, a luxury property developer in Melbourne, who has antagonised young people everywhere by suggesting their housing woes are caused by millennials' spending habits, rather than a combination of stagnant wages and spiralling house prices in many cities.
據(jù)來(lái)自澳大利亞的百萬(wàn)富翁、墨爾本高檔房地產(chǎn)開(kāi)發(fā)商蒂姆?古納所說(shuō)，千禧一代面臨的住房困境是由他們自己的消費(fèi)習(xí)慣造成的。至于停滯不前的工資與許多城市不斷攀升的房?jī)r(jià)對(duì)他們的影響則沒(méi)那么大。他的這一言論激起了各地年輕人的反感。

“When I was trying to buy my first home, I wasn’t buying smashed avocado for $19 and four coffees at $4 each,” he said in an interview with 60 Minutes Australia. “We’re at a point now where the expectations of younger people are very, very high.”
“當(dāng)我努力攢錢(qián)買(mǎi)第一套房的時(shí)候，我不會(huì)買(mǎi)19美元（合人民幣130元）的牛油果泥，也不會(huì)一口氣買(mǎi)4杯單價(jià)4美元的咖啡，”他在接受澳大利亞版《60分鐘》節(jié)目采訪時(shí)說(shuō)道，“我們現(xiàn)在這個(gè)時(shí)代，年輕人的期望非常非常高?！?/p>

He continued: “We are coming into a new reality where … a lot of people won’t own a house in their lifetime. That is just the reality.”
他還說(shuō)：“我們面對(duì)的新現(xiàn)實(shí)是……很多人一生都無(wú)法擁有自己的房子。這就是現(xiàn)實(shí)?！?/p>

Tim Gurner believes our housing crisis will be resolved when young Aussies inherit the 'incredible wealth' from the Baby Boomers. #60Mins

蒂姆?古納認(rèn)為，當(dāng)年輕的澳大利亞人從嬰兒潮一代那里繼承“令人難以置信的巨額財(cái)富”時(shí)，我們的住房危機(jī)將得到解決。#60分鐘

When asked if he believes young people will never own their own homes: “Absolutely, when you’re spending $40 a day on smashed avocados and coffees and not working. Of course.”
當(dāng)被問(wèn)及他是否認(rèn)為年輕人永遠(yuǎn)都無(wú)法擁有自己的房子時(shí)，他說(shuō)：“這是絕對(duì)的，如果你每天花40美元買(mǎi)牛油果泥和咖啡，還不工作。當(dāng)然永遠(yuǎn)買(mǎi)不起?！?/p>

He then went on to suggest young people aren't working hard enough by offering his own story as a point of comparison. “When I had my first business when I was 19, I was in the gym at 6am in the morning, and I finished at 10.30 at night, and I did it seven days a week, and I did it until I could afford my first home. There was no discussions around, could I go out for breakfast, could I go out for dinner. I just worked.”
然后，他還用自己的經(jīng)歷鞭策那些工作不努力的年輕人。他說(shuō)“我19歲時(shí)開(kāi)了第一家公司。那時(shí)，我每天早上六點(diǎn)起床去健身房，工作到晚上十點(diǎn)半，一周七天都上班。我一直堅(jiān)持這么做，直到我買(mǎi)下了自己的第一套房子。我從來(lái)沒(méi)想過(guò)去餐廳吃早餐或吃晚餐。我就是在不停地工作。”

Unsurprisingly, Gurner’s comments went down like a lead balloon on social media.
不出所料，社交媒體用戶對(duì)古納的言論根本不買(mǎi)賬。

The average UK house price is ￡234,795, or in millionaire speak, 39,132 lots of yummy avocado toast at ￡6 a pop.

英國(guó)的平均房?jī)r(jià)是23萬(wàn)英鎊（約合人民幣200萬(wàn)元）。而按照他的方式計(jì)算，單價(jià)6英鎊的牛油果吐司買(mǎi)上4萬(wàn)片就相當(dāng)于一套房子了。

Alright, I did the math. If I stopped eating avocado toast every day, I would be able to afford a bad house in Los Angeles in 642 years.
— Kaleb Horton (@kalebhorton) May 15, 2017
好吧，我算了一下。如果我不吃牛油果吐司的話，642年后我就能在洛杉磯買(mǎi)到一所破房子。

Confession: I bought a house & ate avocado toast.
我交代：我既買(mǎi)了房子，又吃了牛油果吐司。

Don't take financial advice from some boomer groomer who can't figure out how to do both

別聽(tīng)那些暴發(fā)戶的理財(cái)建議，他們搞不懂怎樣可以兩者兼得。

Gurner isn't the first person to suggest young people's avocado toast habit was ruining their chance of buying a home. Writing in The Australian Magazine last year, columnist Bernard Salt said young "hipsters" were spending too much money dining out.
古納不是第一個(gè)指出年輕人吃牛油果吐司的消費(fèi)習(xí)慣毀掉他們買(mǎi)房希望的人?！栋拇罄麃嗠s志》專欄作家伯納德?索爾特去年曾寫(xiě)道，年輕的“時(shí)髦”人士在外出就餐上花了太多錢(qián)。

“I have seen young people order smashed avocado with crumbled feta on five-grain toasted bread at $22 a pop and more. I can afford to eat this for lunch because I am middle aged and have raised my family. But how can young people afford to eat like this?" he wrote.
他寫(xiě)道：“我見(jiàn)到過(guò)年輕人點(diǎn)一客至少22美元的牛油果泥和撒了羊乳酪屑的五谷烤面包。我午飯吃得起這個(gè)，是因?yàn)槲胰说街心?，孩子已?jīng)養(yǎng)大。但年輕人哪來(lái)的錢(qián)這么吃呢？

"Shouldn't they be economising by eating at home? How often are they eating out? Twenty-two dollars several times a week could go towards a deposit on a house."
“他們現(xiàn)在不應(yīng)該是在家吃飯以節(jié)省開(kāi)支嗎？他們多久出去吃一次？每次22美元，每周出去吃幾次，把這些錢(qián)省下來(lái)都可以付房子首付了。”
