Given the substantial economic case against gambling,how can we understand the recent trend to legalize gambling and operate government lotteries?One reason is that when states are starved for tax revenues,they look under every tree for new sources; 【they rationalize lotteries and casinos as a way to channel private vices to the public interest by skimming off some of the revenues to finance public projects.In addition,legal gambling may drive out illegal numbers rackets and take some of the profi tability out of organized crime.Notwithstanding these rationales,many observers raise questions about an activity in which the state profi ts by promoting irrational behavior among those who can least afford it.】
谁能翻译下【】内的句子,我看不太懂,
他们有序有理地把彩票和赌场说成是把私人恶习转化为公众利益的途径,以谋取部份收益用作资助公共项目.此外,合法赌博可能以促使非法赌博集团离场,并从有组织犯罪活动手中攫取利润.尽管说有条有理,许多观察家都提出质疑,那些都是最输不起的人,州政府却从他们的非理性行为中谋取利益.
