8月,奥林匹克盛会就将历史性地回到它的故乡——雅典。在全球性媒体的传播影响下,人们认为,和2008北京奥运会有条不紊甚至是超前的准备工作相比,雅典奥运会则基本上可以用迟缓、杂乱及不堪重负来形容。据欧盟统计局最新修订的统计数字显示,希腊为准备奥运会去年花费了约18亿欧元,预算缺口达到GDP的3.2%,预计今年希腊财政赤字仍将占到GDP的3.2%。如果我们能够了解到上述数据,或许应该对希腊在其现有国力基础上能够顺利举办本届奥运会表示出足够的理解、尊敬甚至是视之为奇迹了。因为用希腊副财长佩屈斯杜卡斯的话说,在“短期内”举办奥运会的成本不可能收回,举办奥运会对于像希腊这种规模的国家是“十分昂贵”的决定。
In August, the Olympic Games will be the historic return to its hometown - Athens. Influenced by the spread of the global media, people think that the Athens Olympic Games can basically be described as slow, messy and overwhelmed compared with the orderly preparation of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. According to Eurostat latest revised statistics show that Greece spent about 1.8 billion euros last year to prepare for the Olympic Games, the budget deficit reached 3.2% of GDP, the Greek fiscal deficit this year is expected to account for 3.2% of GDP. If we can understand the above data, perhaps we should have enough understanding, respect and even a miracle about Greece’s successful hosting of this Olympic Games on the basis of its existing national strength. Because, in the words of Pekas Dukas, Greece’s deputy finance minister, the cost of hosting the Olympics in the “short term” can not be recovered and the hosting of the Olympics is a “very expensive” one for countries like Greece.
