Thank you for starting your week with commercial free CNN Student News. I`m Carl Azuz. We are eight years from the 2022 Olympics, and another country is saying don`t consider us anymore for those winter games. Norway has joined Sweden, Poland, and Ukraine in dropping out of the process to host them. Germany put its bid to a vote, and its citizens said no. Why? One reason, money. It costs billions. Host countries have to build stadiums, hotels, competition venues, and keep them all safe. Some nations don`t think they`ll see enough return on their investment.

感谢大家收看CNN不含商业广告的学生新闻。我是Carl Azuz。距离2022年奥林匹克运动会还有八年的时间,并且另外一个国家表示不再关注冬季运动会。挪威加入了瑞典,波兰和乌克兰退出冬奥会申办请求。德国将出价投票,但是其公民对此表示拒绝态度。其中一个原因就是钱的问题。举办方需要建造体育场馆,宾馆和比赛场馆,并且要确保质量安全。一些国家并不认为会有足够的投资收入。

Another reason could be political. Not everyone likes the way the International Olympic Committee runs its business and coordinates the games. Norway`s withdrawal leaves only two countries, Kazakhstan and China, as possible 2022 Olympic hosts. Effects of this year`s games on Sochi, Russia, a mixed bag.

还有一个原因就是政治原因。不是所有人都喜欢国际奥委会以商业形式经营运动会比赛。挪威的推出就只剩两个国家竞选2022年奥运会举办权,一个是哈萨克斯坦一个是中国。在今年俄罗斯索契冬奥会上像是魔法袋。

The scene of the most expensive Olympic Games in history, yet 8 months on and with the athletes long gone, it`s turned from the home of gold medal winning glories to a ghost town.

这次冬奥会是奥运会历史上最昂贵的现场布置,在不到八个月的时间里运动员带着金牌荣誉踏上返乡的路途。

There is no such thing as Olympic fever here. Many of these hotel rooms in Gorki Gorod up in the mountains weren`t even ready for the games and are still unfinished. That`s over 1,000 hotel rooms still lying empty and waiting for one of the shortest ski seasons in Europe.

没有比举办奥运会更有热情的事了。这里坐落于山上的高尔基大酒店还未建成甚至还没有为举办运动会做好准备。那里还有1000多家酒店处于空置状态在等待着欧洲最短的滑雪季节。

And while those businesses haven`t even got off the ground, there is many that have already gone bust.

而且这些企业现在仍然留在原地,但是许多已经破产。

What went wrong?

发生了什么呢?

After Olympic Games, there was no people. There were no people at all. So we decided to close.

在奥运会结束之后这里就没有人在了。根本就没有人,所以我们选择关闭。

It`s a sad tale for the town at one end of the world`s most expensive railroad. The once hourly trains from the mountains now run just a handful a day.

这对于铁路另一端最昂贵的小镇来讲是非常可悲的一件事情,曾经只需要一个小时的路程现在可以走半天。

But at the other end, 31 miles away, on the coast, one chain with 5 hotels in Sochi, has taken advantage.

但是在另一端,31英里以外的地方,5家连锁酒店链条却生意红火。

The number of visitors has really over our expectations, so we`re very happy with the season. It`s been fantastic, the interest from domestic Russia post-games.

游客数量已经超过我们的预期,所以在这个季节我们感到非常高兴。奥运会结束后俄罗斯境内变得非常有活力的一个国内景点。

The people that were unhappy because of the Olympics, I don`t think that those people are very smart. Because it`s an honor for any city, for any country to have the Olympic Games. It`s a real honor.

有些人因为奥运会感到不高兴,我不认为他们是聪明人。因为这是任何一个城市或者国家的骄傲,这是一份真正的荣誉。

There is plenty of reasons for those on the coast to be positive, but the question now is whether the mountain region can emulate the success. The Olympics sold itself as the games of contrasts, the challenge is to ensure its legacy won`t follow suit.

这片海岸在大部分时间是非常红火的,但是现在的问题是山区的存在生意是否仍然能够如火如荼。奥运会以游戏竞争方式出售自己,面临的挑战就是希望下届奥运会的举办可以有所收益。
