外媒称中国人为结婚买房子遏制全球经济复苏

如果没有房子，那么就不一定每个人都能和自己喜欢的人结婚。中国人在寻找配偶方面遇到的困难正对全世界产生重要的经济影响，因为他们减少消费，攒钱以吸引潜在的伴侣。
If a man has no house, then he may probably not be able to get married with his beloved. The difficulties Chinese people have in seeking their spouse are now significantly impacting the global economy because they are currently reducing consumption and saving money in order to attract potential partners.

按照中国传统，单身男子要想结婚就必须是自己房子的主人，而在今天，买房子需要一大笔钱。这就迫使很多人大幅度削减开支，控制消费以增加存款。如果说在全世界增长最快的市场上没有消费，那么全球经济就会停滞。
According to Chinese tradition, a single man must possess a house before he gets married, while nowadays buying a house entails a lump sum of money. It compels a lot of people to hew daily costs by a large margin and control consumption to increase deposits. If there is little consumption in the most rapidly developing market, the global economy will fall into stagnation.

在为了结婚而不得不牺牲本可以承受的舒适和其他奢侈品的中国年轻人中，20岁的杨家和（音）是其中一个。他生活在北京一个庞大的小区内，但为了进入他的房间，我们不是上楼梯，而是下楼梯来到一间没有窗户的地下室。这间房子不是为了长期居住而设计的，杨和其他100多人（包括儿童）生活的地方是一个防空设施。
Among the young Chinese who give up their deserved comfort and luxuries for the sake of getting married, the 20-year-old Yang Jiayin is a typical one. Yang lives in a big community in Beijing. To go to his room, we, instead of going upstairs, went downstairs to a windowless basement, which was not designed for long-term living for Yang and some other 100 people(including children), but to be used as an air defense facility.

估计全中国有成百万人生活在地下室和防空设施内。在杨生活的这个地下室，有很多通道通往各个房间。杨的房间空间狭小，只够放下一张简易床，天花板上挂着的一个灯泡是唯一的光源。
It is estimated that around one million of people are now living in basement and air defense rooms. In the basement where Yang is living, there are many aisles leading to different rooms. Yang’s room was very small and can only accommodate a small bed. The bulb hanging on the ceiling is the only source of light in the room.

地下室的卫生间和厨房设备是公用的。但杨不是非得生活在这样的条件下。显然他能够付得起条件更好、更有利健康的房租。他说：“现在我在北京，我首先要做的是工作和攒钱。”
The washroom and the kitchen in the basement are for public use. Actually Yang does not have to live in such a harsh condition and obviously, he can afford a better and healthier room. He said, “Now I am in Beijing. My priority task is to work and save as much money as possible.”
