【范文】
An appreciation of art is one of the things that make life worthwhile, as it reminds people of the beauty that is all around them. Therefore in many countries public art projects such as galleries, museums and concert halls are being actively funded by the government. Although such spending will indeed promote citizens’ cultural spirit as well as strengthen a country’s historic tradition, I do not think this should be the priority responsibility of a government. I would like to point out one particular area to which the government should be giving more financial support, and that is sports and recreational facilities.
欣赏艺术是使生活变得有意义的事情之一，因为它使人们想起周围的美丽。因此，在许多国家，公共艺术项目，如画廊、博物馆和音乐厅，都是由政府积极资助的。虽然这样的支出确实会促进公民的文化精神，也会加强一个国家的历史传统，但我认为这不应该是政府的首要责任。我想指出一个特别的领域，政府应该给予更多的财政支持，那就是体育和娱乐设施。
To begin with, compared with art facilities, recreational facilities such as swimming pools and playgrounds are much more essential to people’s daily life. Not everyone has a talent or interest in art. To most people, art is something lofty and even elusive, which takes a great amount of cultural knowledge and fine taste to truly understand and appreciate. But doing sports or exercises is much easier and therefore much more popular among the general public. Anyone can easily find a particular type of exercise that fits his/her physical condition and age.
首先，与艺术设施相比，游泳池和游乐场等娱乐设施对人们的日常生活更为重要。不是每个人都有艺术天赋或兴趣。对大多数人来说，艺术是一种崇高甚至难以捉摸的东西，它需要大量的文化知识和品位才能真正理解和欣赏。但做运动或锻炼更容易，因此更受大众欢迎。任何人都可以很容易地找到一种适合他/她的身体状况和年龄的运动。
Secondly, art facilities are generally much more expensive to establish. A modern concert hall often requires elaborate decoration, comfortable seats, exquisite lighting and top-notch sound rendering system. With the same amount of investment, the government can perhaps build more than a dozen playgrounds with inexpensive but easy-to-use exercising equipment.
其次，艺术设施的建设通常要贵得多。现代音乐厅往往需要精心装饰、舒适的座位、精致的灯光和的音响系统。用同样的投资额，政府也许可以建造十几个运动场，用便宜但容易使用的健身器材。
Furthermore, once a museum or a concert hall is established, it usually charges a high admission fee in order to sustain its daily operation and to fund ambitious projects or performances. But in the meantime they are turning away many ordinary but genuine art lovers who may not be able to afford an expensive visit. By comparison, public recreational facilities run by the government are meant to be used by the general public at a low cost, and therefore much more accessible to people with limited financial means.
此外，博物馆或音乐厅一旦建成，通常会收取高额入场费，以维持其日常运作，并资助雄心勃勃的项目或演出。但与此同时，他们拒绝了许多普通但真正的艺术爱好者，他们可能负担不起昂贵的参观费用。相比之下，由政府经营的公共娱乐设施的目的是让公众以较低的成本使用，因此更容易让财力有限的人使用。
Therefore, the government should try all means to make art available to all instead of being the possession of only the few. Before this can be ensured, I think the government should always place the funding and construction of recreational facilities before art facilities.
因此，政府应该想尽一切办法让所有人都能得到艺术，而不是只为少数人所拥有。在这一点得到保证之前，我认为政府应该始终把娱乐设施的资金和建设放在艺术设施之前。
