......As they grow old, people also accumulate belongings for two other reasons, lack of physical and mental energy, both of which are essential in turning out and throwing away, and sentiment. Things owned for a long time are full associations with the past, perhaps with relatives who are dead, and so they gradually acquire a value beyond their true worth.

Some things are collected deliberately in the home in an attempt to avoid waste. Among these I would list string and brown paper, kept by thrifty people when a parcel has been opened, to save buying these two requisites.

(1) 虽然我知道value可以是可数名词，但是书上翻译成“一种价值”, 是否正确？

一种价值=a kind of value 呀！按照value可数名词的含义，

这里应该是指一个价值吗？

(2) I would list - 这里的would是或许，没有把握的用法吗？还是和I would like中的would是一样表示愿意的含义呢？很奇怪作者为什么不用I will list...呢？

谢谢老师。
