舉辦大型慶典浪費嗎？ Is it Waste to Hold Grand Ceremonies?
To hold grand opening and closing ceremonies for some activities is the tradition for China for a long time. With the improvement of people’s living standard, the scale of the ceremonies has become greater and greater. Some people begin to argue that it is a great waste. But some still insist its positive effect. As far as I am concerned, both of them are reasonable.
在中國，為一些活動舉辦大型的開幕和閉幕儀式長期以來都是其傳統。隨著人們生活水平的提高，這樣的慶典的規模也越來越大。有人開始認為這是很大的浪費。但是，仍然有人認為這還是有其積極作用的。我覺得兩者的說法都是有理的。
On the one hand, holding grand ceremonies is really a waste for some activities. When holding an activity, such as Olympic Games, the essence of it is the process and spirit of the competition, instead of the opening or closing ceremony. It needs a lot of money and people to open such grand ceremony successfully. Besides, during the ceremony, it is not possible to avoid polluting the environment. Thus, the follow-on work after the ceremony also needs a lot of resources to deal with.
一方面，舉行大型慶典確實是浪費。在舉辦活動的時候，比如說奧運會，精髓在于比賽的精神跟過程，而不是開幕和閉幕儀式。要想成功舉辦那樣的大型慶典是需要大量的人力和金錢的。除此之外，在舉辦慶典的過程中，要想避免污染環境是不可能的。所以，慶典之后的后續工作也是需要消耗大量資源的。
On the other hand, there are many positive effects of ceremony. As holding grand ceremony has been popular for a long time, it must have its reason. The greater the ceremony is, the more attention will be paid on it. In addition, a grand ceremony is able to encourage the participants，making the activity more interesting. Besides, it is a good way to spread the spirit of the activity.
另一方面，舉行慶典活動也是有很多積極作用的，既然這個慶典深受人們的歡迎這么久，就肯定有它存在的理由。慶典舉辦得越大，就有越多的關注會放在這上面。而且，大型慶典也可以激勵參賽者，使得該活動更加有趣。除此之外，這也是宣傳該活動的一個好方式。
To sum up, holding grand ceremonies has positive and negative side. What we need to do is to make it perfect. Such as, how to reach the same effect with less pay. It is necessary to hold ceremony, but we don’t need to make it at the cost of cutting people’s benefit.
總之，舉行大型慶典有好的一面也有消極的一面。我們所需要做的就是讓其越來越完善。比如，如何付出越少，卻能得到同樣的效果。舉辦這樣的慶典是有必要的，但是沒必要以損害人們利益為代價。
