You’ll need a trunk full of cash to park here. The city’s first million-dollar parking space is on the market.
想要在这里停车，你需要带一大箱现金来才行。如今纽约首个百万美元停车位即将出售。
The private garage at 66 E. 11th St. costs six times more than the national-average price of a single-family home. Buying it would be the same as paying a $115 ticket for illegal parking every day — for 24 years.
这一位于纽约东区第11大道66号的私人车库的售价比独立住宅的全国均价高出6倍。把它买下来相当于24年里天天缴付非法停车的115美元罚单。
