Bidding for and hosting the Olympics successfully is, perhaps, the ultimate glory for a city. However, before transforming the dream into reality, the benefits and drawbacks of bidding for the Olympics should be weighed carefully.
Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city. Boom of the local economy, more jobs, and the possibility of generating income all sound extremely attractive to the municipal government. At the same time, better infrastructure, cleaner environment, enjoying the spectacular game with hundreds of sports elites and entertainment stars, and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world also seem exciting to the citizens. Besides, the bidding will definitely promote the patriotic emotion and pride, as well as the moral behavior in local people. In most cases, bidding for the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
Unfortunately, this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If looking from another angle, the Olympic bid might bring about some side-effects to a city.
First of all, the environmental impacts, including the increasing exhaust fumes of cars, more pressure on water resources, huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities, are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets, some trees may have to be cut. Near the construction site, the tiny dust may linger in the air for a long time. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centre or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource-limited and densely-populated city in a third-world country.
Besides, if talking about the economic benefit, it should not be forgotten that a quick boosting may lead to bubble growth, which may easily crash. If not well managed and organized, the big event may not be so profitable, and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games. Yes, there have been cases that host cities ended up with enormous debts.
Finally, let’s think about the low-income groups in the city. What will they get from the Olympics bidding? More tax, more fees, more expensive property prices, and higher cost of living. These definitely are not good news for them.
To bid or not to, this is a question. It is up to the choice of the municipal government, and the local public. After the decision, what they can do is to make the most of the benefit, and reduce the drawbacks to the least.
主机租贷奥林匹克当然会导致很多的增益给一个城市。 当地经济，较多的工作和全部产生收入的可能性的繁荣听起来对市政的政府是极端地吸引人的。 同时, 较好的系统内各部分，较干净的环境, 享受公开展示的游戏与数以百计的运动精华和娱乐以星状物装饰, 和连络人的机会从在全世界也对市民似乎令人兴奋。 此外，竞标将会一定在当地居民中促进爱国的情绪和自傲、连同道德的行为。 在大部份的情形下，竞标为奥林匹克很好地被民众和中央的政府支援。
不幸地，这不是漂亮照片的整个视野。 如果从另外的一个角度看, 奥运会的竞标可能导致一些副作用给一个城市。
首先, 环境的冲击, 包括汽车的逐渐增加废气, 在水资源,作为公众的活动的极大量的浪费广告传单和其他的材料, 上的较多的压力或许最被疏忽。 为了要变宽街道，一些树可能必须是削减。 在工程位置的附近，极小的灰尘可能在空气中逗留有很长的一段时间。 农地的减少可能由建立新的运动中心或住所设备的需要所引起。 这些环境的结果在资源可能是尤其严重-在一个第三世界的国家中的有限和浓密居住的城市。
此外, 如果谈论经济的利益, 它不应该被忘记快的提高可能带领起泡生长,可能容易地撞碎。 如果不很好地处理而且组织, 大的事件可能不如此有利润，而且新的设备在游戏之后可能是永远地空的。 是的，已经有情形主办城市以巨大的债务作为结束了。
最后，让我们在城市中想低所得者阶层。 他们从奥林匹克竞标将会拿什么? 较多的税、较多的费用, 比较贵的财产定价格, 和生活的较高的费用。 为他们，这些一定不是好消息。
出价到, 这是一个疑问。 它决定于市政政府的选择, 和当地的民众。在决定, 他们能做的之后是作出大部份的利益, 而且让不利点变成最少。
