Two eventstook place last week regarding Korea ’ s hosting of the Winter Olympic Gamesin PyeongChang in 2018 . Regarding : … 에 대해 , … 와 관련 하 여 , … 에 관하 여 Host : be the host of or for On Monday , the so - called G ( Games ) - 3 Day event was held exactly three years ahead ofthe opening of the 23 rd Winter Olympics . Hundreds of citizensand officials , including the chief organizer and governor of GangwonProvince , attended the event titled “ PyeongChang _ visit in advance . ” Despite officials ’ efforts to liven up the atmosphere , visitors , including former figureskating queen Kim Yu - na , appeared frozen by the wind chill temperatureof - 20 C with severe snowstorms . Liven : make lively liven up : 활기 를 띠 다 1 . Who attended G ( Games ) - 3 Day event ? Two days later , a Japaneseactivist from Nagano , venue of 1998 Winter Olympics , held a newsconference in Seoul , effectively sending a message that the unfriendlyweather at the event may be an omen for the legacy ofthe Olympics three years later . Venue : the scene of any event or action Omen : a sign of something about to happen Legacy : a gift of personal property by will 2 . What a specific story did a Japanese activist fromNagano speak of ? “ Before we hosted the winter games , expertsforecasted that the event would create an economic effect of 22 trillion won , ” said Masao Ezawa , representative of “ Net ofPeople Who Do Not Need Olympics , ” a Japanese civic group . “ It was all nonsense , and ourcity is now reeling under debt of 17 trillion won . ” The activist citedrecklessconstruction of games facilities and rampant destruction of theenvironment as two major factors contributing to the fiasco . economic effect : 경제 효과 nonsense : having no intelligible meaning reel : walk as if unable to control one ' s movements reckless : marked by defiant disregard for danger or consequences rampant : unrestrained and violent fiasco : a sudden and violent collapse 3 . What were the major factors contributing to thefiasco of Nagano ? Despite denials by Korean officials , any objectivewatchers can find more similarities thandissimilarities between the two cities . Similarity : the quality of being similar dissimilarity : the quality of beingdissimilar Gangwon Province Governor ChoiMun - soon says he is confident the Games will make endsmeet financially . Yet his estimation does not take into accountthe almost inevitablecost overruns , and the city and the province have yet topresent proper and plausible means to make the most ofidle facilities after the Games . makeends meet : 수입 내 에서 살 다 , 어떻게 든 충당 하 다 , 수지 타산 을 맞추 다 take into account : allow or plan for a certain possibility inevitable : incapable of being avoided or prevented cost overrun : excess of cost over budget 4 . What are the similarities between the two cities ? The organizing officials want PyeongChangto become asecond Lake Placid , a small city in New York State , which emergedas a national and international resort town after successfully hosting theWinter Olympics , by limiting new construction to essential facilitieswhile comingup with various ways to attract tourists afterwards . However , what the organizersof PyeongChang are doing , is closer to their Japanese counterparts , notthe Americans : enjoyingtwo weeks of global attention and paying the price for more thantwo decades . organizing official : 조직 위원회 관계자 emerge : come out into view , as from concealment come up with : 내놓 다 , 제안 하 다 , 떠올리 다 , 해 내 다 , 수립 5 . Why was Lake Placid , a small city in New York State , hosting the Winter Olympics a successful example ? Especially hard to understandis their planto build some facilities , such as an ice hockey rink , to use itjust for days and tear it down right after the Games to save onmaintenance costs . Even more egregious is their ongoingdestruction of the 500 - year old forest in Mt . Gariwang for building a ski slopeto be usedfor three days , at a cost of 110 billion won , and restoreit later by spendinga similar amount of money . How does it compare with the Norwegians , whominimized new construction for the Lillehammer Games , so that “ few can knowOlympics were held here a year later ? ” tear down : … 을 부수 다 , 무너뜨리 다 , 분해 하 다 maintenance cost : 유지 비용 egregious : conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible restore : return to its original or usable and functioning condition 6 . What stupid plans do the organizing officials makefor the successful Winter Olympic ? All this explains in part why the International Olympic Committee sopersistently called for PyeongChang to share some of the Games withothercities , or countries . the International Olympic Committee : IOC 국제 올림픽 위원회 persistently : 끈덕지 게 , 고집 스럽 게 , 지속 적 으로 Korean organizers should heed the calls from the IOC , environmentalistsand numerous other well - intentioned advisors . How about turningthe event into a festival of peace in Northeast Asia by holdingsledge events in Nagano , and downhill skiing at the Masikyrongresort in North Korea ? Heed : paying particular notice well - intentioned : marked by good intentions though often producingunfortunate results sledge : a vehicle mounted on runners and pulled by horses or dogs downhill skiing : 활강 스키 , 활강 7 . What are the proper ways to be a successful WinterOlympic ? Unfortunately that looks unlikely , as President Park Geun - hye ruled out any possibilityof sharing the winter games recently , blowing away a capital opportunity , both economically and diplomatically . rule out : make impossible , especially beforehand blow away : 날려 버리 다 , … 을 사살 하 다 , 떠나 다 capital opportunity : 중요 한 기회 https : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = U 8 Xkztj 0 jQo 동계 올림픽 도시 줄줄이 빚더미 에 … 평창 은 ? https : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = J 6 _ HyaMqWkY 평창 동계 올림픽 , 일본 과 분산 개최 하 나 ? / YTNhttp : / / imnews . imbc . com / replay / 2014 / nw 1800 / article / 3421315 _ 13479 . html 평창 에 11 조 8 천억 원 투자 예상 … ' 올림픽 저주 ' 피하 려면 ? https : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = vLYKpFTIeUQ 평창 동계 올림픽 은 적자 올림픽 강원도 의 해법 ! 고 성국 의 빨간 의자 49 화
