答案
There is no doubt in my mind that sports events which pit one country’s athletes against another’s can promote world peace. For one thing, they channel aggressive instincts into harmless competitions. For another, the spirit of sportsmanship dictates that one’s opponent is not one’s enemy, but a partner whose opposition helps to raise the level of one’s skill. Moreover, a defeated opponent is not to be despised but to be honoured, so long as he or she has played the game fairly and made every effort to win.
However, there is a dark side to international sports events these days. Many such competitions are funded by giant corporations, who regard them simply as advertising vehicles for their products. In addition, the pressure on top-class athletes to win is so great that they frequently resort to taking stimulants and other illegal drugs to enhance their performance. Another unfortunate result of this domination of sports by big money is that athletes from the poorer countries are seldom represented at the major world competitions.
This leads me to the conclusion that we should strongly support the Olympic Games, and make sure that money does not corrupt this international goodwill sports gathering. Everyone agrees that the Olympics are a shining example of how friendly rivalry can dissolve tensions between countries and promote harmony between their peoples. In this regard, it is important that the Games should be distributed more fairly among the countries of the world.
