12Meanwhile, more details emerged about rising construction costs and growing corruption in Sochi, the site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.Mandritra izany fotoana izany, misy ny antsipiriham-baovao hafa mivoaka momba ny fiakaran'ny vola lany amin'ny fananganana (fotodrafitrasa) sy ny kolikoly ao Sochi, toerana hanatanterahana ny Lalao Olaimpikan'ny Ririnina 2014.

18White elephants are revered as sacred animals and should not have to work, but the cost of keeping the elephant ruined the recipient of the gift.Hajaina ho biby masina tsy tokony hiasa ny elefanta fotsy, saingy mandany vola maharava fananana ho an'izay anolorana azy ho fanomezana ny fikarakarana elefanta.
19This prompted someone to comment:nahasarika olona iray hilaza ny heviny izany:
20And there is still the World Cup in 2018.Ary mbola ho avy ny Mondialy 2018.
21Oooo…Oooo…
22The budget news for the 2018 World Cup is not promising, either.Tsy mamelo-panantenana ihany koa ny fandrenesana momba ny tetibolan'ny mondialy 2018.
23Russia's Finance Minister, Anton Siluanov, said last week that Russia could not afford to sign a blank check for the World Cup.Nilaza ny Minisitry ny Vola ao Rosia, Anton Siluanov, tamin'ny herinandro fa tsy afa-manasonia sheky tsy misy sora-bola hikarakarana mondialy i Rosia.
24He cited [en] the Winter Olympic games in Sochi next year as a precedent for setting limits on spending for the World Cup in 2018.Notononiny [en] tamin'izany ny Lalao Olainpikan-dririnina tontosaina any Sochi amin'ny herintaona ho fakana lesona hametrahana fetram-pandaniam-bola hikarakarana ny mondialy 2018.
25The experience we have in other major events such as Sochi shows that there may be cost-increase issues for some events and proposals to add more items….Ny traikefa azontsika amin'ny hetsika goavana tahaka ny ao Sochi no mampiseho fa misy ny fiakaran'ny fandaniam-bola hanaovana hetsika sasantsasany ary misy ny tolotra hafa hametrahana karazan-javatra maro….
26For this reason we think it will be reasonable today to make the decision that the sum of additional spending - 250 billion rubles - is final.Noho izany antony izany dia eritreretinay fa antonony amin'izao fotoana izao ny manapa-kevitra fa ny fitambaran'ny fandaniam-bola fanampiny - 250 miliara robla - no farany.

28Let him dip into his pocket a bit.Aleo izy mba haka kely ny ao am-paosiny.
29It's no big deal; he won't feel the pinch.Tsy fifampiraharahana goavana io; tsy ho tsapany ny fiantraikany.

34Commenter Valery Tyukhtin saw something more sinister behind Putin's bids for international prestige:Mahita zavatra hafa mampitanondrika kokoa ao ambadiky ny fitadiavan'i Putin laza iraisam-pirenena ny mpaneho hevitra Valery Tyukhtin:
35Russia does not need these PR projects of a global scale, but national projects with real useful results: the introduction of advanced technologies, the construction of new modern enterprises, improvement of housing and communal services, etc. But Putin, like a saboteur, comes up with all these new super costly projects, which will not benefit the people.Tsy mila ireo tetikasa PR eo amin'ny sehatra manerantany izany i Rosia, fa mila tetikasam-pirenena ahitam-bokatra tena ilaina : fampidirana ny teknolojia lasa aloha, fananganana orinasa maoderina vaovao, fanatsarana ny fampiatranoana sy ny tolo-draharaha kaominaly, sns. Saingy i Putin, toy ireny mpigafy ireny, no tonga manakorontana amin'ireny tetikasa mandany vola fatratra ireny, izay tsy ahazoan'ny vahoaka tombontsoa akory.
36As Putin continues to pursue his policy of using international events to show that Russia is worthy of investment, the country's taxpayers are coming to realize that they are the ones footing the bill.Raha manohy ny politikany amin'ny fampiasana ny hetsika iraisampirenena i Putin hanehoana fa mendrika hanaovana fampiasam-bola i Rosia, ny mpandoa hetran'ny firenena kosa efa manomboka mahatsapa fa ry zareo ihany no handoa ny faktiora.
