1.Greece’s reliance on a bailout of over ?20 billion, or about $360 billion, from the International Monetary Fund ended in 2018, and real estate prices rose by nearly 2 percent, the first increase in nine years, according to the Bank of Greece. Building permits jumped more than 10 percent, reversing a seven-year slump.
据希腊银行(Bank of Greece)的数据，国际货币基金组织向希腊提供的逾3200亿欧元的救助计划已于2018年结束，希腊的房地产价格已上涨了近2%，这是九年来的首次上涨。批准的建筑许可证增加了10%以上，扭转了七年的下降趋势。
2.Real estate investment grew in 2018 by around 20 percent from a year earlier.
2018年，希腊的房地产投资与上年相比增长了约20%。
3.Investors have tried to cash in partly by converting properties to lucrative short-term tourist rentals, which have quadrupled in five years, reducing the supply of affordable rental housing for average Greeks. A growing number of tourist rentals are listed on Airbnb, prompting the government to mull restrictions.
投资者试图通过将房产转变为可供游客短期租用、利润丰厚的度假屋从中牟利，度假屋的数量在五年内翻了两番，导致希腊老百姓负担得起的出租房供应量下降。越来越多的度假屋出现在爱彼迎网站上，促使政府考虑对其进行限制。
4.Argiro Fouraci, 29, recently began renting five apartments that have been in her family for years. A teacher who lost her job during the crisis, she had struggled to get by until offering the apartments, in the popular Koukaki neighborhood near the Acropolis, as Airbnbs. She said she now clears about ?00 per month on each apartment, after taxes and management fees.
29岁的阿吉罗·福拉奇(Argiro Fouraci)最近开始出租她家很久前就拥有的五套公寓。她以前是教师，经济危机期间丢掉了工作，之后一直在艰难度日，直到她开始在爱彼迎上出租自家的房子，它们都位于卫城附近深受欢迎的库卡奇一带。她说，扣除税费和管理费后，她现在从每套公寓得到每月约400欧元的净收入。
5.The earnings help her care for her parents, who are in their 60s and whose pensions were slashed. They, in turn, support her brother, who has opened a vaping store. “Most of my friends are still unemployed,” she said. “Now I can have a life and help my family.”
这些收入为她照顾60多岁的父母提供了帮助。父母的养老金已被大幅削减，而父母还要接济她的弟弟，他开了一家电子烟店。“我的大多数朋友仍在失业中，”她说，“现在我可以有自己的生活，还能帮助我的家人。”
