[To learn English] Spain has fined vacation rental firm Airbnb 64 million euros ($75 million) for advertising unlicensed tourist rental homes, the Consumer Rights Ministry said on Monday, as the government cracks down on excessive tourism that is driving up housing costs. Spain's leftist government, along with some city councils and regional authorities, has been seeking to curb tourism rentals that use sites such as Airbnb and Booking.com, which many in Spain blame for driving up housing costs by limiting the supply of homes available to residents. 西班牙消费者权益部周一表示，已对度假租赁平台Airbnb处以6400万欧元（约合7500万美元）的罚款，原因是该平台发布未经许可的旅游租赁房源广告。此举是政府打击过度旅游、推高房价的举措之一。 西班牙左翼政府以及部分市议会和地区政府一直在努力遏制通过Airbnb和Booking.com等网站进行的旅游租赁活动。许多西班牙民众认为，这些网站限制了居民可租房屋的数量，从而推高了房价。 LearnEnglishLeave a remark
