Listen now
Description
Glasgow hosted an extremely successful Commonwealth Games in 2014. So, after Victoria's withdrawal, it was suggested the city could rescue the 2026 Games using existing infrastructure and venues.  格拉斯哥在 2014 年主办了一届极其成功的英联邦运动会。所以在维多利亚州退出后,便有人提出格拉斯哥可以利用现有的基础设施和比赛场馆来举办比赛,从而挽救 2026 年的运动会。  Today, the Scottish government approved a scaled-back version of the event after receiving assurances that no public money will be spent. The total budget for 2014 was £543m. This Games is set to cost about £114m, funded largely by the Commonwealth Games Federation. There will be 10 core sports, down from 17 in 2014 and only four venues as opposed to 14 a decade ago.  今天,在得到赛事官方对不动用公共资金的保证后,苏格兰政府批准运动会以较小的规模举行。2014 年运动会的总预算为 5.43 亿英镑。2026 年运动会预计将花费 1.14 亿英镑,其中的大部分资金由英联邦运动会联合会提供。和 2014 年的运动会相比,核心比赛项目将从 17 项缩减至 10 项,比赛场馆也将仅有 4 个,而非 2014 年的 14 个。 词汇表 hosted 主办withdrawal 退出infrastructure 基础设施venues 比赛场馆scaled-back 缩减的,缩小的assurances 保证public money 公共资金budget 预算core 核心的as opposed to 而非…
