原文及翻譯

The truth is probably that some people can control the urge to gamble, while some can not. People who find gambling really exciting feel that they have to go back for that high, even if it means spending all their money. Many people doubt that the government should promote gambling since it is certain to produce addicts. 

事實可能是，有些人可以控制賭博的沖動，而有些人則不能。那些覺得賭博非常刺激的人覺得他們必須回去才能獲得那種快感，即使這意味著花光他們所有的錢。許多人懷疑政府是否應該提倡賭博，因為賭博肯定會產(chǎn)生癮君子。

There have also been some question whether gambling is good for the local economy. If a casino was built in an area of high unemployment, would local people really benefit? The answer seems to be both yes and no. People may benefit if the gamblers come in large numbers from outside the area and spend their money there, that is if the casino is a notable tourist attraction. 

也有人質(zhì)疑賭博是否對當?shù)亟?jīng)濟有好處。如果在失業(yè)率高的地區(qū)建賭場，當?shù)厝苏娴臅芤鎲?？答案似乎是肯定的，也是否定的。如果大量賭徒從該地區(qū)以外的地方來到這里消費，也就是說，如果賭場是一個著名的旅游景點，人們可能會受益。

On the other hand, if not many people come from outside the area, there are few benefits. In this case, most of the gamblers are local people who are spending the little money they have.

另一方面，如果沒有很多人來自該地區(qū)以外的地方，好處就很少。在這種情況下，大多數(shù)賭徒都是當?shù)厝?，他們花的都是他們僅有的一點錢。
