　　好处： 1. 能促进主办地的设施现代化。举例，为了伺候奥运会，大规模的交通设施，公路，铁路会被要求改建和更新，这为整个城市带来了更高效的交运系统。。 2. 绝佳的机会来展示和传播主办国的文化，消除文化差异带来的误解，这增加了国家间的尊敬和信任。 3. 点燃大众运动热情，通过促进运动改善大众体质。 4. 奥运会刺激了经济。它会吸纳数百万人的观光，这拉动了内需，也创造了就业。坏处： 1. 太烧钱，巨大的开销甚至会占用原本属于社会福利的税收，这降低了当地人的生活质量。 2. 很多场馆的用途过于单一和专业，奥运会之后它们不得不长期闲置，甚至被抛弃。 3. 安保工作一直是一大头疼事儿，举例，1972年的德国慕尼黑惨剧历历在目。

　　As the NO.1 sports competition worldwide, the Olympic Games was held continuously in disparate regions in the past. Many people believe this sports tradition should remain, because of its positive impacts on the host country. However, others refute that it is unwise to spend the large amount of money on it. Personally, I am in favor of the former view, and my reasons will be expounded as below. The first reason for supporting the Olympic Games is that it provides opportunities for the modernization of social infrastructure for a host city, which can leave a lasting heritage for the whole community. For example, 2008 Beijing Olympic Games stimulated the update of transportation system, such as the doubled number of highways, higher extension of subways and accommodation of airports, as well as an integration of land and air traffic. Therefore, contributions to this city the great sporting event made include a smooth operation of internal market, a reliable and efficient mobility of people and goods, and an increased cohesion of north China, socially and territorially. Secondly, the Olympic Games also plays a role of economic catalyst for local society. For one thing, during the process of the game, the inflow of tens of thousands of athletes, coaches, officers, journalists and audience would drastically boost domestic economy, such as the consumption of hotels, restaurants, commodities and souvenirs. For another, many sporting venues which are in operation after the event is over can be city icons and ideal attractions for tourists. Expectedly, with a consistent thriving of tourism, many kinds of industries and new job vacancies can be activated. However, demerits of the Olympic Games should not be overlooked, and the first concern is so-called white elephant phenomenon of construction. That is to say, without long-term planning or practicality, many venues which were built only for sports with little local interest are crumbling. For example, in Greece today, the expensive and once-gleaming Olympic legacy has been a set of decaying structures. Swimming pools are given over to frogs, beach volleyball and softball arenas are all literally falling apart, baseball fields have been overtaken by weeds, and dirt and trash is collection in the hallway and corners. In other words, the investment of billions of dollars into these debris is unacceptable and ironical for Greeks who are now being trapped in the economic crisis. In conclusion, I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although some sports facilities might not be utilized efficiently, the overall ameliorations of urban infrastructure and the stimulated economic prosperity by the Olympic Games are more meaningful and valuable, to a large extent.(432字)
