I asked this question of recent homebuyers on the theory that fear of job loss might help explain the remarkable boom in home prices in the US (as well as many other advanced countries). After all, people who fear losing their jobs may seek greater economic security by investing in real property in their own wealthy country, bidding up prices in the process.
我还询问了新近的购房者们是否同意美国（和其它许多发达国家）的房地产价格大幅上扬是因为人们担心失去工作这一理论。毕竟，担心失去工作的人们可能会通过投资不动产寻求更大的经济保障从而带动房地产价格上涨。
