洛阳翻译公司：迷你蜗居 40美元有家可归

An Oakland artist is ingeniously battling homelessness in Oakland,California: he builds small houses out of materials he can find inthe streets, with each edifice costing around forty bucks.
　　在加州奥克兰，一位当地的艺术家巧妙地解决人们无“家”可归的问题：他利用在街上能捡到的材料来建造小房子，每所仅花费约40美元。
　　The tiny homes are made of pallets, bed boards, washing machine doors, and other bizarre objectsthat catch Greg Kloehn’s attention. Mr Kloehn first noticed that homeless people built shelters fromwhatever they find in the street, and he wanted to make a house like this.
　　这些小房子是由运货板、床板、洗衣机门和各种能入他法眼的千奇百怪的东西组成的。建造者克勒恩先生的灵感来源于看到那些无家可归的人从街上捡东西来搭建避难所，他也想自己造一个这样的房子。
　　He jokes that he constructs "illegal homes out of illegal garbage." The cost of one house is “$30 to$40,”Kloehn told RT.
　　他开玩笑地说，他是用“非法垃圾”搭建“非法房屋”，一所房子的建造成本是30到40美元。

　　"The real cost is just in the wheels: I buy large casters for the bottom, so that they are mobile, andthen nails, and screws, and paintbrushes. But everything else I get for free," he said.
　　“主要开销在于轮子：我买了一些大脚轮用在房子底部，这样房子就可以移动。还买了些铁钉，螺丝和漆刷，其他材料都不花钱，”他说。
　　The houses are just comfortable enough to lie down in a warmer place than a cardboard box, andthe homeless in Oakland are "so happy," Kloehn told the Independent. "One cried and got on hisknees to thank me. They think I should make them bigger and suggest improvements. They like todecorate them themselves.”
　　克勒恩告诉《独立报》，只要把这些房子放在温暖的地方，睡在里面就比睡在纸板箱里舒服多了。奥克兰无家可归的人都“很高兴”。“有人激动落泪还跪下来感谢我。他们给我提了很多建议，比如说把房子做大一点。他们喜欢自己动手装饰这些房子。”

　　Currently, about 25 people use the homes. One couple’s home burned down, another one wasstolen, and a third was sold.
　　到目前为止，大约有25个人在使用这种房子。有一对夫妇的房子被烧毁了，另外一个人的房子被偷了，还有一个人的房子被卖掉了。
