美国小镇出售_英语头条

  Aspiring property moguls take note - the town of Tiller, Oregon, is for sale, asking price just $3.5 million. The old school costs an extra $350,000.

  有追求的地产大亨们注意啦!美国俄勒冈蒂勒小镇出售啦!原价都是800多、500多的小镇,现在统统只要350(万美元)啦——但是镇上的老学校还要额外花费35万美元。

  The mostly uninhabited, unincorporated town about 362 kilometers south of Portland originally went up for sale in 2015, but that did not include the building that used to house the school, said Garrett Zoller, the owner of Land and Wildlife, the real estate firm selling the 100-hectare town.

  这个小镇大部分地方都无人居住、也没有自治权,距波特兰以南362公里远。该小镇曾在2015年上架销售,但是据“Land and Wildlife(该房地产公司就是这个占地100公顷小镇的出售者)的所有者加勒特·佐勒表示称,当时出售的小镇不包括学校那幢楼。

  The current deal, at a reduced price, includes six houses and an apartment, industrial and commercial lots, and a building that once housed a gas station and general store. Adding the school, on an adjacent parcel, swing sets and all, would set a buyer back about $3.85 million.

  目前该小镇已经被降价销售,包括6间民房、一幢公寓、工业和商业区、以及一幢曾经作为加油站和杂货店的建筑。如果再算上相隔不远的那座学校,购买者总共要为这个小镇花费383万美元。

  About 250 people live in the surrounding area. But aside from the family that owns and is now selling the town, only two residents remain in Tiller itself, a former teacher who lives next to the school, and the pastor of the local church.

  目前约有250人居住在小镇周边地区。但是除了拥有并正在出售小镇的那户人家外,蒂勒小镇上目前只有两个居民——一个住在学校旁边的退休教师,一个是当地教堂的牧师。

  The emptying out of the town came as timber harvesting declined in the region and the town’s mill closed, he said.

  据他表示称,由于木材采伐量减少、以及小镇工厂关闭,镇上的人都搬走了。
