6-25 侃词侃句打卡金句 Every four years, soccer fans gather and watch their favorite teams and countries compete for the ultimate title — World Cup Champions. Although the competition only happens every few years, host-countries are informed ahead of time to prepare for the hefty price tag. The 2018 FIFA World Cup host, Russia, is reportedly spending around $11 billion. FIFA only covers the operating costs for the event itself. Additional improvements to things like transportation and infrastructure are in the host nation’s hands.  每隔四年，足球迷们集聚一堂，观看他们喜爱的球队和国家为赢得最高奖项——世界杯冠军而激战。虽然世界杯每隔四年才举办一次，但举办国却很早就公布出来，因为要给他们留足时间准备巨大的开销。据报道，2018年世界杯举办国俄罗斯的花费在110亿美金左右。国际足联会承担一些比赛运营的费用，其它像交通和基础设施改善方面的花费全都要举办国自己承担。
