买房还是租房？对于很多在大城市漂泊的年轻人来说，这其实都不算是个问题。因为在当前这样的形势下，租房肯定是多数人的长期选择。大家都是generation rent。
Generation rent refers to the generation of people born from the eighties onwards, who because of changes in the economic situation are more likely to rent their homes than buy them.
Generation rent（租房一代）指出生于上世纪八十年代及以后，由于经济形势的变化多选择租房而非买房的一代人。
Owning your own home (or rather part-owning it with the bank!) has always been the norm in the UK, with those whose financial circumstances permit usually choosing to buy rather than rent. This is a phenomenon unique to Britain and contrasts with the rest of Europe and the USA, where renting is the usual option. Changes in the economic situation during the past few years however have made it increasingly difficult for first-time buyers to get started in the property market, so that there is an emerging generation, the so-called generation rent, who may never own their own homes.
拥有自己的房子（或者跟银行共同拥有一个房子！）一直都是英国人通行的做法，经济条件允许的人一般都选择买房而不是租房。英国的这一独特现象与欧洲和美国的情况形成对比，上述两地区的人通常都选择租房。不过，过去几年经济形势的变迁让很多初次购房者面对房产市场望而却步。由此诞生了所谓的“租房一代”，他们可能永远都无法拥有一套自己的房子。
The only young adults who appear less likely to join generation rent are those fortunate enough to have affluent parents with cash to spare to help them raise a deposit.
能够避免成为“租房一代”的可能只有那些有钱人家的孩子了，他们的父母能够帮助他们出买房的首付。
