　　第一句：

　　The more likely outcome remains a long, gentle deflation in real rents and house prices in London //in relation to earnings and inflation, peppered by the occasional mini-boom,// rather than a sudden spiral down.

　　参考译文：更可能的结果仍然是，伦敦的实际租金和房价会相对于收入和通胀在较长时间内温和下降，中间将偶现小幅上涨，而不是突然螺旋式地下降。

　　第二句：

　　Lots of places outside the capital could still see real gains, although not of the order of the past couple of decades.

　　参考译文：伦敦之外的很多地方仍然可以看到真正的上涨，尽管不会有过去几十年的幅度。

　　第三句：

　　Maybe, just maybe, this means we return to buying a home as a place to live in, rather than as an investment.

　　参考译文：也许，只是也许，这意味着我们回归为了居住而买房，而不是为了投资。
