||1:MonkeyParking wants its app to be seen as part of the “sharing economy”, like those of Airbnb, which lets people rent rooms or houses to others, and Lyft, a ride-sharing service.||2:These also help maximise the use of existing assets.||3:The difference, however, is that the homes and cars are privately owned.||4:Jeremiah Owyang of Crowd Companies, which advises firms on the sharing economy, thinks apps that monetise public assets are “not in the spirit” of the sharing movement.

||1:MonkeyParking希望其应用软件被视为“分享式经济”的一部分，像空中食宿Airbnb和Lyft一样，Airbnb可以让人们出租房间或房屋给他人，而Lyft提供驾乘分享服务。||2:这些服务也有利于最大限度的利用现有资产。||3:然而不同的是，那些房屋和车辆是私有的。||4:Crowd Companies的Jeremiah Owyang对公司就分享式经济提出过建议，他认为使公共资产货币化的应用软件与分享运动的精神存在出入。

||1: At the heart of Mr Becker’s work was the view that “individuals maximise welfare as they conceive it.” ||2: Welfare need not mean income; it could derive from the pleasure of altruism or the thrill of deviancy. ||3: But critically, this thesis implied that people respond to incentives—a realisation that opened the door to insights across the whole range of human activity.

||1:贝克尔研究的核心是认为“个体总是最大化他们自己所认为的个人福利”。||2:福利不一定意味着收入，它可能源自利他主义的满足感或越轨的快感。||3:但关键的是，这个论题暗指人们会对激励做出回应—这个认知为全方位地洞悉人类活动打开了一扇门。

Local opposition to new housing developments is common across Britain. It has long been argued that such opposition—NIMBYism to its critics—is linked to home ownership. Homeowners, unlike distant landlords, vote in local elections and receive planning consultations in their postboxes. They lose out from development in multiple ways. Loss of green space reduces their quality of life and increased supply of housing suppresses prices. Landlords managing diversified portfolios are less exposed to the value of one property.|| The idea that planning decisions are driven by the desire of homeowners to maximise house prices is known as the “home-voter hypothesis”.||

1:当地反对新的房屋开发政策在英国是很常见的。||2:一直以来都认为这种反对—批评家称之为邻避主义—都与房屋所有权息息相关。||3:与过去的地主不同，房主参与当地选举和规划咨询。||4:在开发过程中他们在多方面有所亏损。||5:绿地的损耗降低了他们的生活质量，而且增加的房屋供应压制了房屋价格。||6:管理多样投资的房东对于一栋房屋的价格会有所疏忽。||7:房主们意欲提高房屋价格从而驱使决策产生，这种想法被称之为“房屋投票假说”。

||1:It may help that his personal story stands at the tragic interface between Christianity and Judaism in the 20th century.||2:As the 85-year-old Mr Vermes recalls, his Hungarian Jewish parents died in the Holocaust, even though the family, which was not religious, had converted to Catholicism in the 1930s.||3:Young Geza was saved by the family’s Catholic contacts and went on to study in western Europe.||4:Ordained as a Catholic priest and educated at Catholic universities, he later reverted to his Jewish roots.||5:As a lifelong analyst of the scrolls, whose efforts to maximise scholarly access have been gratefully recalled by younger biblical scholars, such as Britain’s Philip Davies, Mr Vermes is well placed to dissect the precise significance of this unique discovery, and to assess the many theories it triggered.

||1:他亲身经历了基督教和犹太教在二十世纪悲剧性的关系，这可能对他有所助益。||2:现已85岁的维尔麦希回忆说，他匈牙利裔的犹太双亲都死于大屠杀，虽然他们一家——他们并不笃信宗教——之前在一九三十年代都皈依了天主教。||3:年轻的格左被其家庭交往的天主教徒所救，接着去了西欧学习。||4:他被授予了天主教神父的职务，也在不同的天主教大学受过教育，但后来他还是回归了他的犹太传统。||5:作为一位毕生分析死海古卷的专家，他努力让尽可能多的学者能够接触这些文本——比他年轻的圣经学者们（比如英国的菲利普·戴维斯）回忆起他的这些努力时都心存感激——由他来剖析这一独特发现的精确意义和评价这一发现所引发的多个理论非常合适。
