虚度的时光

  埃斯特·卡西拉买了一幢豪华的别墅,此后,他每天下班回来,总看见有一个人从他花园里扛走一只箱子,装上卡车拉走。

  他还来不反叫喊,那人就走了。这一天他决定开车去追。那辆车走得很慢,最后停在城郭的峡谷旁。

  卡西拉下车后,发现陌生人把箱子卸下来扔进了山谷。山谷里已经堆满了箱子,规格式样却差不多。

  他走过去问:“刚才我看见您从我家扛走一只箱子,箱子里装的是什么?这一堆箱子又是干什么用的?”

  那人打量了他一眼,微微一笑说:“您家还有许多箱子要运走,您不知道?这些箱子都是您虚度的日子。”

  “什么日子?”

  “你虚度的日子。”

  “我虚度的日子?”

  “对。您白白浪费掉的时光,虚度的年华。您曾盼望美好的时光,但美好的时光到来后,您又干了些什么呢?你过来瞧瞧,它们个个完美无缺。根本没有用过。不过现在……”

  卡西拉走过来,顺手打开一个箱子。

  箱子里有一条暮秋时节的道路:他的未婚妻格拉兹正在那里慢慢走着。

  他打开第二只箱子,里面是一间病房。他弟弟约苏躺在病床上在等他归来。

  他打开第三只箱子,原来是他那所老房子。他那条忠实的狗杜克卧在栅栏门口等他。它等了他两年了,已经骨瘦如柴。

  卡西拉感到心口被什么东西夹了一下,绞疼起来。陌生人像审判官一样,一动不动地站在一旁。

  卡西拉说:“先生,请您让我取回这三只箱子吧,我求求您。起码还给我三天吧。我有钱,您要多少都行。”

  陌生人做了个根本不可能的手势,意思是说,太迟了,已经无法挽回。说罢,那人和箱子一起消失了。

  夜幕悄悄降临,把大地笼罩在黑暗之中。(选自《世界微型小说荟萃》)

单项选择题

In 1929 John D. Rockefeller decided it was time to sell shares when even a shoe-shine boy offered him a share tip. During the past week The Economist’s economics editor has been advised by a taxi driver, a plumber and a hairdresser that "you can’t go wrong" investing in housing-the more you own the better. Is this a sign that it is time to get out At the very least, as house prices around the world climb to ever loftier heights, and more and more people jump on to the buy-to-let ladder, it is time to expose some of the fallacies regularly trotted out by so many self-appointed housing experts.

One common error is that house prices must continue to rise because of a limited supply of land. For instance, it is argued that "house prices will always rise in London because lots of people want to live here". But this confuses the level of prices with their rate of change. Home prices are bound to be higher in big cities because of land scarcity, but this does not guarantee that urban house prices will keep rising indefinitely-just look at Tokyo’s huge price-drops since 1990. And, though it is true that a fixed supply of homes may push up house prices if the population is rising, this would imply a steady rise in prices, not the 20% annual jumps of recent years.

A second flawed argument is that low interest rates make buying a home cheaper, and so push up demand and prices. Lower interest rates may have allowed some people, who otherwise could not have afforded a mortgage, to buy a home. But many borrowers who think mortgages are cheaper are suffering from money illusion.

Interest rates are not very low in real, inflation-adjusted terms. Initial interest payments may seem low in relation to income, but because inflation is also low it will not erode the real burden of debt as swiftly as it once did. So in later years mortgage payments will be much larger in real terms. To argue that low nominal interest rates make buying a home cheaper is like arguing that a car loan paid off over four years is cheaper than one repaid over two years.

Fallacy number three is a favourite claim of Alan Greenspan, chairman of America’s Federal Reserve. This is that price bubbles are less likely in housing than in the stockmarket because higher transaction costs discourage speculation. In fact, several studies have shown that both in theory and in practice bubbles are more likely in housing than in shares. A study by the IMF finds that a sharp rise in house prices is far more likely to be followed by a bust than is a share-price boom.
