先富起来的意大利人1990年,Sam由一个富翁变成了一无所有的穷光蛋。从富到穷花费的时间不长,一夜就能完成。而他的兄长,同样在一夜之间失去了自己的千万家产。惹祸的,是房子。Sam说,1990年是澳大利亚经济,尤其是悉尼经济的一道坎儿,许多意大利老乡没能越过这道坎,由曾经的富豪,更多是中产阶级,沦为贫雇农。这年被称为悉尼房地产发展史上的“大衰退”。说起1990年,至今许多悉尼人,尤其是那些因房产泡沫破裂而一夜赤贫的人会摆出痛心疾首的架势。西方人对买房置业的热情远不如中国人,但也有例外,比如先富起来的一群人。 The first Italian to get rich In 1990, Sam turned from a rich man into a pauper of nothing. From rich to poor spend less time, overnight to complete. His brother, likewise, lost his own ten million worth of property overnight. Trouble, is the house. Sam said 1990 was a karner for the Australian economy, and especially for the Sydney economy. Many Italian villagers failed to cross this threshold. From the former rich, more middle class to poor and nongovernmental workers. This year is known as the “Great Recession” in the history of Sydney’s real estate development. Speaking of 1990, so far many Sydney people, especially those who have been starving overnight because of the housing bubble burst, will be dismayed. Westerners have far less enthusiasm to buy a home than Chinese, but there are exceptions, such as the first to get rich.
