奥委会：2008年奥运会收支大致持平

BEIJING - Organizers aren't counting on the Beijing Olympics to turn a big profit%26#46; "My sense is that the games will break even, but we're unlikely to make a lot of money," Tu Mingde, the Chinese Olympic Committee vice president, told The Associated Press on Sunday%26#46; "It's like having people over to dinner%26#46; The food may be not so expensive, but you need to select the right furniture, carpets, and so on%26#46;"

Tu, who is attending the congress' annual legislative session, said organizers are avoiding waste but will spend what is necessary for a first-rate Olympics%26#46;
