The government has announced that it plans to build a new university. Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university in your community. Use specific details in your discussion.
The first advantage of having a new university built in my community would be the jobs it would bring to the community. Initially, the jobs would be those connected with the actual building of the university structures, such as brick layers and carpenters. Once the building were completed, the jobs would be those on the campus itself. Those would include teachers, office workers, custodians, and librarians.
在我的社区中建立一所新大学的第一个好处是它将为社区带来工作。最初，这些工作将是那些与大学建筑实际相关的工作，如砖瓦层和木匠。一旦大楼完工，工作将是在校园本身。这些人包括教师、办公室职员、保管人和图书管理员。
Not all of the people the university hired would already be members of the community, so that would mean a lot of new people coming to town. Of course, a lot of students would come too. Two advantages of new people in town would be more taxpayers and a more diverse population. With more people paying taxes, there would be more money for schools, libraries and other community needs. With a more diverse population, there would be new stores, new restaurants (to serve different tastes) and new cultural influences.
大学雇佣的人并不是所有都是社区成员，所以这意味着很多新的人会来这里。当然，很多学生也会来。城里新来的人有两个优势，一是纳税人多，二是人口多样化。随着越来越多的人纳税，学校、图书馆和其他社区需要的资金也会越来越多。随着人口的多样化，将会有新的商店、新的餐馆（以满足不同的口味）和新的文化影响。
Of course, there would also be disadvantages. More people living in the community could mean more houses being built. There would be more traffic on the streets, with the combination of new residents and students who bring their cars. Plus, more people would mean more public services would be needed. These services could include everything from trash collection to more schools to hold all the children of the new residents. New services might mean local taxes would have to go up, even though there would be more taxpayers.
当然，也会有不利因素。住在社区里的人越多，就意味着要建更多的房子。随着新居民和带车的学生的加入，街道上的交通将会更加拥挤。另外，更多的人意味着需要更多的公共服务。这些服务包括从垃圾收集到更多的学校来容纳新居民的所有孩子。新的服务可能意味着地方税必须提高，即使纳税人会更多。
Another disadvantage is that the personality of our community would change. It would go from being a place where everybody knows everybody else to a place where a lot of people are strangers. It would become a place with a lot of short-term residents, like the university students, who might not care as much about the town.
另一个缺点是我们社区的个性会改变。它将从一个人人都认识其他人的地方变成一个很多人都是陌生人的地方。它将成为一个有很多短期居民的地方，像大学生一样，他们可能不太关心这个小镇。
Communities always change over time, though, and overall I like the atmosphere of a “college town.” A new university would bring a lot of challenges, but I think it would be worth it.
不过，社区总是随着时间的推移而变化，总体而言，我喜欢“大学城”的氛围。一所新大学会带来很多挑战，但我认为这是值得的
