An Oakland artist is ingeniously battling homelessness in Oakland, California: he builds small houses out of materials he can find in the 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 objects that catch Greg Kloehn’s attention. Mr Kloehn first noticed that homeless people built shelters from whatever 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, and then 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。 |
