他在博客上写道:“当我自信地宣称在巴塞罗那租一间两居室每天飞到伦敦上班要比我在伦敦租一居室还便宜时,我想很多人一定认为我是在开玩笑。然后我发现那还真是玩笑话,事实上我能租到三居室。
The average price of a one-bed flat in north London at the time was $3195 a month. On top of that, he had to pay council tax (about $160 a month) and buy a $250 travelcard to get to work in the city centre, bringing his total expenditure to $3602.
当时在伦敦北部租一间一居室平均每月需要3195美元。除此之外,山姆还必须缴纳家庭税,大约每月160美元,去市中心上班需要购买250美元的交通卡,全部算下来要3602美元。
With cheap Ryanair flights costing as little as $50 return, Sam figured he could live far more cheaply in sunny Spain. He was right.
瑞安航空(Ryanair)的廉价往返机票最低只需50美元,山姆判断出自己如果住在阳光明媚的西班牙开销会小很多。事实证明他是对的。
Now he pays $1300 a month, including bills, to live in newly renovated two-bed apartment with a roof terrace in the historic Gothic Quarter. He can catch a $9 train from home to Barcelona — El Prat Airport, and a train from Stansted to his office in Farringdon for $30.
