1 两个汉语句子翻译成英文中表达问题

1. 都市寸土寸金，地价炒得越来越高。拥有一个小花园的希望，对寻常之辈不啻是一种奢望和梦想。

With the land price boosted higher and higher, an inch od metropolitan land is worthy of thousand tons of golds.

这一个句子中的boosted是否能这样使用？下面 an inch of ...... is worthy of .....是否符合表达习惯，以及跟源语是否贴近？

2. 心不过是人的一个重要脏器。

A heart for human is mere an indispensible organ.

这个句子中是使用 A heart of human还是 A heart for human? 这两个介词，在翻译这句话的时候，哪一个显得贴切一点？

有劳各位老师帮我解答一下啦，比心！
