在大城市，越来越多的年轻人选择住在三四十平方米的小户型里。面积虽小，但经过精心设计，客厅、卧室、厨房一应俱全：床可以收进墙里，餐桌能折叠，楼梯下面也藏着柜子。

In big cities more and more young people choose to live in small flats of thirty or forty square metres. The space is small, but with careful design it has everything — living room, bedroom, kitchen: the bed folds into the wall, the dining table folds away, and there are cupboards hidden under the stairs.
有人认为，住小房子是无奈之举，说到底还是因为房价太高。这种说法固然有道理，却忽视了另一面：空间有限，反而促使人们重新思考哪些东西是真正必需的。

Some think living in a small flat is a last resort, ultimately down to high house prices. There's certainly truth in that, but it overlooks the other side: limited space actually pushes people to rethink what they truly need.
不少住户表示，搬进小房子以后，买东西更理性了，打扫也省事了。可见，居住的质量并不完全取决于面积的大小。

Many residents say that since moving into a small flat they shop more rationally and cleaning is less work. Evidently, the quality of one's living doesn't depend entirely on the size of the space.
