近1000萬(wàn)英國(guó)家庭生活在“寒冷、潮濕、保暖性差的房屋”中

sizzirup
So UK population @ 67 million.
Proportion of UK population that are working class ~49%.
Roughly 10 million living in unsuitable conditions, almost certainly all going to be working class.
Roughly 1 in 3.5 working class people living in unsuitable conditions.
Gotta rule out the middle and upper classes who have the wealth to purchase their own home and maintain it how they please.
Although there will be a segment of middle class households who earn enough to own their home but not enough to maintain their property adequately. A small percentage I'm sure as mortgages cost less than rent.

所以英國(guó)人口是6700萬(wàn)。
工人階級(jí)占英國(guó)人口的比例約49%。
大約有1000萬(wàn)人生活在不適宜的環(huán)境中，幾乎可以肯定他們都是工人階級(jí)。
大約每3.5個(gè)工人階級(jí)中就有1人生活在不適宜的環(huán)境中。
必須排除中產(chǎn)階級(jí)和上層階級(jí)，他們有足夠的財(cái)富購(gòu)買(mǎi)自己的房子，并按照自己的意愿維護(hù)它。
雖然會(huì)有一部分中產(chǎn)階級(jí)家庭，他們的收入足以擁有自己的房子但不足以充分維護(hù)他們的房子。我敢肯定比例很小，因?yàn)榈盅嘿J款比租金還低。

It’s 10m households, not 10m people. It’s such a huge number that it goes so far beyond the working class.
Our housing stock is dreadful. That applies whether you own it or rent it.
My house has an EPC rating of G. It will cost a fortune to bring it up to a decent standard.

是1000萬(wàn)戶(hù)家庭，而不是1000萬(wàn)人口。這是一個(gè)巨大的數(shù)字，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了工人階級(jí)范圍。
我們的存量住房糟透了。不管你是自己的還是租的。
我的房子的能源性能等級(jí)是G，要把它提高到一個(gè)像樣的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要花一大筆錢(qián)。

I believe that 49% number comes from the percentage of people who consider themselves working class, not those who are working class in reality - nearly half of people who hold managerial and 'professional' roles identify as working class.
The working class in reality has been shrinking for decades, half of the country isn't working class.

我相信49%的數(shù)字來(lái)自于“認(rèn)為自己是工人階級(jí)的人”的比例，而不是那些在現(xiàn)實(shí)中真是工人階級(jí)的人——近一半擔(dān)任管理和“專(zhuān)業(yè)”角色的人也認(rèn)為自己是工人階級(jí)。
實(shí)際上，工人階級(jí)幾十年來(lái)一直在萎縮，這個(gè)國(guó)家有一半的人都不是工人階級(jí)。

It depends what definition of class we’re judging it by.
In many contexts, working class is just that - working. People who have to sell their time - their labour - to earn a living, who would not manage to exist without doing so, are the working class. That’s even the case if the work they’re doing is white collar, as opposed to blue collar.
Whereas the middle class earn their living from ownership of property - owning a business, owning land, owning housing, owning stocks and shares, and do not have to sell their time to someone else in order to live.
The lines are of course blurred in the modern era, especially by ‘working class’ having come to denote relative poverty in common usage, and ‘middle class’ being commonly used to refer to - as you say - working professionals, those who earn a comfortable living, own a detached house and a golden retriever.

這取決于我們對(duì)階級(jí)的定義。
在許多情況下，工人階級(jí)就是——工作的階級(jí)。那些不得不出售自己的時(shí)間——他們的勞動(dòng)——來(lái)謀生的人，如果不這樣做就無(wú)法生存，他們就是工人階級(jí)。即使他們所從事的工作是白領(lǐng)，而不是藍(lán)領(lǐng)，也算。
而中產(chǎn)階級(jí)則靠擁有財(cái)產(chǎn)為生——擁有企業(yè)、土地、住房、股票和股份，他們不需要為了生存而把時(shí)間出售給別人。
當(dāng)然，在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)，這兩者之間的界限變得模糊了，尤其是“工人階級(jí)”在常用用法中表示相對(duì)貧困，而“中產(chǎn)階級(jí)”通常用來(lái)指——正如你所說(shuō)——工作的專(zhuān)業(yè)人士，那些生活舒適、擁有獨(dú)立住宅和一條大金毛的人。

Is anyone going to mention that EPC calculation methods changed last year so it’s inevitable that more houses will drop below C. That doesn’t automatically mean they’re now cold.
Properties heated by electricity can expect to achieve an improved EPC rating, whilst gas-heated properties can expect to remain the same or even see a small deterioration.
As majority of uk is gas, more will now get a lower rating this year as opposed to this time last.

有人會(huì)提到能源性能等級(jí)的計(jì)算方法在去年改變了，所以更多的房子將不可避免地降到C級(jí)以下嗎。這并不意味著它們現(xiàn)在很冷。
（按新的算法）電力加熱的性能可以達(dá)到一個(gè)改進(jìn)的能源性能等級(jí)，而燃?xì)饧訜岬男阅芸梢员３植蛔?，甚至可以看到輕微的降級(jí)。
由于英國(guó)大部分住房都是燃?xì)饧訜?，所以今年將有更多住房的評(píng)級(jí)低于去年同期。

Yeah, though it's going to get worse. They're consulting on the new style of measurement at the moment. The newer standard is way more focused on the carbon emissions instead of thermal comfort. One way to push people into choosing expensive heat pumps over gas boilers I guess.

是的，不過(guò)情況會(huì)越來(lái)越糟。他們目前正在就新的計(jì)算方法進(jìn)行咨詢(xún)。新標(biāo)準(zhǔn)更關(guān)注碳排放，而不是熱舒適。我想這是促使人們選擇昂貴的熱泵而不是燃?xì)忮仩t的一種方法。

I live in an old Edwardian property that was designated EPC E in 2013. We still went ahead and purchased. It is very cold and draughty (as intended). The room sizes and garden are truly enormous for a ￡200k purchase back then. Yes, it did need a roof repair costing ￡20k. Do I regret it, absolutely not.
Insofar that the push for energy efficient homes have somewhat demonised period properties as 'not fit for purpose', the value of my period house today is 3x in ten years. That's despite NOT doing anything about the EPC.

我住在一個(gè)愛(ài)德華時(shí)代的老房子里，2013年被評(píng)定為能源性能E級(jí)。我們?nèi)匀毁?gòu)買(mǎi)了它。天氣寒冷又多風(fēng)。對(duì)于當(dāng)時(shí)20萬(wàn)英鎊的價(jià)格來(lái)說(shuō)，房間和花園確實(shí)很大。是的，它確實(shí)需要花2萬(wàn)英鎊修理屋頂。我會(huì)后悔嗎，絕對(duì)不會(huì)。
到目前為止，對(duì)節(jié)能住宅的推動(dòng)在某種程度上把歷史房產(chǎn)妖魔化為“不適合用途”，我今天的歷史房產(chǎn)的價(jià)值在十年后翻了三倍。盡管沒(méi)有對(duì)能源性能評(píng)級(jí)采取任何措施。

The last landlord we had. I worked from home. There was a problem with the water. The roof was leaking where we were sleeping and where I was working. We had to move a lot of valuable stuff downstairs in the lounge. It's a small house so it ended up looking like a warehouse.
1、I don't know how they were fixing the leaking roof but they decided to fit in a new boiler because the law told them too at the same time.
2、Fitting this new boiler meant running a copper gas pipe that went through literally every room in the house. A completely exposed pipe. In one of the rooms it wasn't even flush in the corner and it was also dented and bent.
3、Landlord complained about how much stuff we had. YEAH. We have a lot of stuff because we had to move it all downstairs. I'm also looking at moving out of your house but I have to find a place first dumbass.
4、We couldn't actually stay in the house (No heating and no where to sleep) so we had to stay in a travel lodge. They refused to pay for it stating "You could have stayed in the house. You didn't need to leave". Whilst there was no gas and there was no water and there was no heating...during WINTER. And the whole reason this problem happened was because it was a really bad cold winter. The second night we stayed at the hotel it was like a damn blizzard.
5、One of the ongoing problems is a wall in the house had damp. For the whole 8 years we lived there. I got electrically shocked because I used one of the plugs on that wall not realising there was a fault. We stopped using that socket afterwards but this was never addressed even though we brought it up.
6、The person she hired to "fix" things was a fitter. Clearly not good at their job. The shower didn't work. It broke. They fitted a new cheap one. The fuse broke within days. They fitted another. Fuse break within days. They fitted another. Fuse broke within a few days. Fourth time was the charm though.
When we moved out. The landlord cried because of the state of the house. We didn't cause damp to the wall. Nor did we fit in those ugly copper gas pipes. You got ￡38,000 in rent from us. Because all you did was inherit the house from your Mother. In those 8 years you fitted a new boiler becuase you were told to by law. And a new shower multiple times because you hire dodgy Barry. Use that ￡38,000 to sort the house out maybe or quit complaining. You were given far more than you deserve for zero effort.

說(shuō)說(shuō)我們上一個(gè)房東。我在家工作。有水的問(wèn)題。我們睡覺(jué)的地方和我工作的地方房頂都漏水了。我們不得不把很多值錢(qián)的東西搬到樓下休息室。那是一棟小房子，所以最后搞得看起來(lái)像個(gè)倉(cāng)庫(kù)。
1、我不知道他們是如何修理漏水的屋頂?shù)?，但他們決定安裝一個(gè)新鍋爐，因?yàn)橄嚓P(guān)法律也在同一時(shí)間告訴了他們要安這玩意。
2、安裝這個(gè)新鍋爐意味著安裝一條銅質(zhì)煤氣管道，這條管道幾乎貫穿了房子里的每個(gè)房間。完全暴露的管道。在其中一個(gè)房間里，它的拐角甚至都不平整，而且還凹陷和彎曲。
3、房東抱怨我們的東西太多了。是的。我們有很多東西，因?yàn)槲覀儾坏貌话阉鼈兌及岬綐窍?。我也在考慮搬出你的房子但我得先找個(gè)地方住，SB。
4、我們實(shí)際上不能住在那個(gè)房子里（沒(méi)有暖氣，也沒(méi)有地方睡覺(jué)），所以我們不得不住在一個(gè)小旅店。他們拒絕為此付錢(qián)，說(shuō)：“你們本來(lái)可以住在房子里的。你們不需要離開(kāi)?！睕](méi)有煤氣，沒(méi)有水，沒(méi)有暖氣……在冬天。這個(gè)問(wèn)題發(fā)生的全部原因是那是一個(gè)非常寒冷的冬天。我們住在旅店的第二天晚上就下起了一場(chǎng)該死的暴風(fēng)雪。
5、一直存在的問(wèn)題之一是房子的墻受潮了。我們?cè)谀抢镒×苏?年。我被電擊了，因?yàn)槲沂褂昧藟ι系囊粋€(gè)插座，卻沒(méi)有意識(shí)到有故障。之后我們停止使用該插座，但即使我們提出了這個(gè)問(wèn)題，也從未得到過(guò)解決。
6、她雇來(lái)“修理”東西的人是個(gè)鉗工。顯然不擅長(zhǎng)他們的工作。淋浴器用不了。壞了。他們裝了一個(gè)新的便宜的。保險(xiǎn)絲幾天之內(nèi)就斷了。他們又裝了一個(gè)。保險(xiǎn)絲在幾天內(nèi)斷了。他們又裝了一個(gè)。保險(xiǎn)絲幾天內(nèi)就斷了。不過(guò)第四次是幸運(yùn)的。
我們搬出去的時(shí)候。房東因房子的狀況大喊大鬧。墻壁受潮不是我們?cè)斐傻摹Ｎ覀円惭b不進(jìn)那些丑陋的銅制煤氣管道。你從我們這里得到了三萬(wàn)八千英鎊的租金。因?yàn)槟阒皇菑哪隳赣H那里繼承了這個(gè)房子。在那8年里，你安裝了一個(gè)新鍋爐，是因?yàn)榉梢竽氵@么做。而且是因?yàn)槟阕约赫伊藗€(gè)奸商，所以才換了好幾次新淋浴器。用那三萬(wàn)八千英鎊把房子收拾一下吧，要么別抱怨。你得到的遠(yuǎn)比你應(yīng)得的多。

recently I contacted my energy company for a insulation in the loft to be installed since my parents house dont have any and my dad has lost his job so we knew he can get this through grant system. over month and half now, not a single word from Octopus energy, If i miss a payment they will send letters, email and sms. Not surprised that grant system is utter jokes. In the end i just paid for it since i could not wait around for years for it. I feel sorry for those who cannot afford this like few of us can, grant system is just crap.

最近，我聯(lián)系了我的能源公司，要求在閣樓上安裝保溫材料，因?yàn)槲腋改傅姆孔記](méi)有保溫材料，我爸爸也失業(yè)了，所以我們知道他可以通過(guò)撥款制度來(lái)安裝它。一個(gè)半月過(guò)去了，章魚(yú)能源公司沒(méi)有任何消息，如果我少付了一筆付款，他們會(huì)給我寫(xiě)信、發(fā)電子郵件和短信。撥款制度完全就是笑話(huà)，這一點(diǎn)也不奇怪。最后我自己付了錢(qián)，因?yàn)槲业炔涣诉@么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。我為那些負(fù)擔(dān)不起的人感到難過(guò)，我們中很少有人能負(fù)擔(dān)得起，撥款制度就是垃圾。

Living in a house that suffers with damp and mould, the walls we have are solid, there's no place in them for insulation, and externally insulating them is expensive. Britain's old Victorian housing stock is rapidly becoming not fit for purpose and the amount of money it'll take to make them fit is not something people can afford.

我們住在潮濕發(fā)霉的房子里，我們的墻是實(shí)心的，里面沒(méi)有保溫的地方，而且安裝外部保溫是昂貴的。英國(guó)維多利亞時(shí)代的老房子正迅速變得不適合使用，而改造它們所需的資金也不是人們能負(fù)擔(dān)得起的。

Don't worry my local council has found a way to fix these big issues.
They're going to raise council tax again and build more cycle paths problem solved.

別擔(dān)心，我們地方議會(huì)已經(jīng)找到了解決這些大問(wèn)題的辦法。
他們將再次提高市政稅，修建更多的自行車(chē)道，然后問(wèn)題解決了。
