每一項投資都伴隨著風險，因此一些投資者選擇在一些安全穩定、房價高的城市購買房產來沖淡投資風險，這種城市就叫hedge city（對沖城市）。

　　Hedge city is a safe, stable city with extremely high real estate values caused by foreign investors buying properties as a hedge against instability in their own countries.

　　“對沖城市”是那些安全、穩定、房價高的城市，外國投資者會選擇在這種城市購買房產，以避免自己國家投資不穩定造成的損失。

　　A hedge city is a place where wealthy people in booming but unstable societies pile into local real-estate markets, driving up values. The typical hedge city is innocuous, offering privacy and seclusion as well as social and political stability.

　　繁榮發展但不穩定的國家的富人們會大量涌入“對沖城市”的房地產市場，從而催高房價。典型的“對沖城市”是安全無害的，擁有穩定的社會和政治環境，人們的隱私會受到保護，能夠在城市中安靜地生活。
