中國神祕女買家斥巨資拿下特朗普兒時故居

A five-bedroom Tudor-style house in a Queens neighborhood in New York City that US President Donald Trump lived in briefly as a child was sold to someone from China for a price that is more than double that of other houses in the area, according to media reports.

據媒體報道，美國總統唐納德·特朗普位於紐約皇后區的兒時故居於近日被中國人買走。這是棟都鐸風格的建築，內有5個臥室。買家出價被曝是該區同類房屋均價的兩倍以上。

The New York Times reported that the buyer "is a woman from China" and said the purchase price of $2.14 million came in an auction by Paramount Realty USA.

《紐約時報》報道稱，買家“是一名中國女人”，經由美國派拉蒙房產中介拍賣，房舍售價214萬美元。

The house was built by Trump's father, Fred, in 1940 and the president lived there until he was about 4 years old. The family then moved to another house Fred Trump built nearby.

該房屋是由特朗普的父親弗雷德於1940年興建，特朗普在此住到4歲，才隨全家搬到附近另一棟也是由他父親蓋的更大的住宅。

"This property is so much more than just real estate; it's the childhood home of the 45th President of the United States, and it's a part of history," Misha Haghani of Paramount Realty USA, told ABC News.

“這已不是簡單的房產，這是美國第45任總統的兒時舊居，是歷史的一部分。”派拉蒙房產中介美莎·哈根尼向ABC新聞透露。

"I did have some expectation that the purchaser would be a huge Trump supporter from within America," Haghani told the Times. He declined to reveal the identity of the buyer. "But it is entirely possible that the purchaser is a huge Trump supporter from outside of America."

哈根尼在接受《紐約時報》採訪時表示：“我本來以爲買家會是特朗普的國內支持者。但是結果發現買家完全可能是美國境外的特朗普支持者。”

Cathy Han, a New York real estate agent specializing in marketing properties to Chinese buyers, told the newspaper that she was not surprised that a Chinese buyer may have purchased the house.

專門從事將房產出售給中國買家的紐約房地產經紀人凱茜·韓告訴報社，對於中國人購得該房產，她一點也不驚奇。

"When I saw it was Trump's birth house property for sale, I knew immediately it would get a lot of attention from Chinese buyers," said Ms Han. "I know he is a controversial figure in the States, but among Chinese people, Trump is a very popular kind of character in China."

“看到特朗普出生的房子在售，我立即想到，這會吸引大批中國人的注意。”韓女士說。“我知道特朗普在美國是一個頗具爭議的人物，但在中國人圈子裏，他是一個非常受歡迎的人物。”
