摘要

<正>STRATFORD,a run-down area of east London,is experiencing a re-awakening.This is an area that has never in its history risen far above poverty and squalor,and where depression and unemployment are commonplace.For just a few weeks this summer,however,it will become the center of attention and entertainment for London and the world,as it hosts the 30th Olympiad.True,it will never achieve the cultural status of Stratford-upon-Avon,the birthplace of William Shakespeare,but it will enjoy its few moments of glory.At what price,though?
