Government investment in the arts, such as music and theatre, is a waste of

money. Governments must invest this money in public services instead.

To what extent do you agree with this statement?

These days, the government spends a large part of its budget not only on

public services, but also the arts. Although I agree that it is important to spend

money on public services, I do not think spending on the arts is a waste of money.

如今，政府的大部分预算不仅花在公共服务上，也花在艺术上。虽然我同意在公共服

务上花钱很重要，但我不认为在艺术上花钱是浪费钱。

There are several reasons for spending a significant amount of the

government budget on public services. First and foremost, public services are the

things such as hospitals, roads and schools, and these things determine the quality

of life that most of us will have. For example, if the government does not spend

enough money on hospitals, the health of our society may decline. Similarly, if not

enough money is spent on schools, our children may not be properly educated.

Also, it will be the poor in our society that will be affected more if we do not spend

enough on these things because they are the ones more dependent on such

services.

将大量的政府预算用于公共服务有几个原因。首先，公共服务是诸如医院、道路和学

校之类的东西，这些东西决定了我们大多数人的生活质量。例如，如果政府不花足够的钱

在医院，我们的社会健康可能下降。同样地，如果没有足够的钱用于学校，我们的孩子可

能得不到适当的教育。此外，如果我们在这些东西上没有花足够的钱，社会上的穷人将受

到更大的影响，因为他们更依赖这些服务。

However, this does not mean that the arts should be completely neglected. To

begin, it is difficult for many arts institutions to generate much profit, so without

some help from the government, many theatres and other such places may have

to close. Moreover, the arts also have an important impact on our quality of life.

Many people get great pleasure in going to see music and theatre performances

so it is important that the government assists such institutions so that they can

continue to provide entertainment to the public.

然而，这并不意味着艺术应该被完全忽视。首先，对于许多艺术机构来说，要想获得

大量利润是很困难的，所以如果没有政府的帮助，许多剧院和其他类似的地方可能不得不

关闭。此外，艺术也对我们的生活质量有重要的影响。许多人都很喜欢看音乐和戏剧表演，

所以政府帮助这些机构，使他们可以继续向公众提供娱乐是很重要的。

To sum up, there are clear benefits of ensuring a large amount of investment

goes into public services as this influences the quality of life for nearly all of us.

That said, I do not believe spending money on the arts is a waste of money as this

too provides important benefits.

总而言之，确保大量投资投入公共服务有明显的好处，因为这几乎影响到我们所有人

的生活质量。也就是说，我不认为把钱花在艺术上是浪费钱，因为这也提供了重要的好处。
