Countries benefits broadly from hosting an OlympicGames,gaining publicity and increased tourism,but the mostvisible improvement usually go to the host city alone. This islikely to be the case with Beijing,which used a lavish pack-age of proposed infrastructure spending to help secure itswinning bid. 奥运会让主办国家受益匪浅,主办国不仅能扩大影响,还能增加旅游收入,但最明显的改善往往只发生在主办城市。北京也很可能出现这样的情况,他承诺在基础设施建设上投入大量经费,以确保其成功地主办2008年夏季奥运会。
