negative equity

音標(biāo)發(fā)音

With house prices still falling, many borrowers would soon have negative equity again.
隨著房產(chǎn)價(jià)格仍在下降，許多借款人的權(quán)益也將很快為負(fù)。
That, in turn, leaves more homeowners deeper in negative equity, saddled with mortgages that vastly exceed the value of their homes.
這反過來會(huì)導(dǎo)致更多產(chǎn)業(yè)主陷入負(fù)資產(chǎn)抵押，背負(fù)大大超過其房屋價(jià)值的按揭貸款。
One school thinks that, even in cases of negative equity, most homeowners will not default if they can afford the payments—not least because defaulting will wreck their credit records.
一派認(rèn)為，即使在負(fù)權(quán)益的情況下，如果他們可以負(fù)擔(dān)還款，大部分房主將不會(huì)違約，至少不會(huì)因?yàn)檫`約破壞他們的信用記錄。

For homeowners, negative equity makes houses more like a trap than a piggy bank.
