译文简介

很抱歉，对我来说，印度是一个禁区。小偷、骗子、欺诈者无处不在。无论是出租车、人力车、公交车还是火车，到处都是抢劫犯。

正文翻译

Punya Subedi
Sorry to say, india, for me, is a no go zone. Pick pockets, scammers, cheaters spread everywhere. Taxi, rickshaw, bus, train everywhere looters. They charge very high if they know you are a new visitor. Even in a running bus or train , if you are assaulted, harreshed by someone, the other passengers around you will not come forward to comfort you, to support you, to save you from the atrocities. But they just witness this very comfortably!

很抱歉，对我来说，印度是一个禁区。小偷、骗子、欺诈者无处不在。无论是出租车、人力车、公交车还是火车，到处都是抢劫犯。如果他们知道你是新来的游客，他们会收取很高的费用。即使在行驶的公交车或火车上，如果有人攻击你、骚扰你，周围的其他乘客也不会站出来安慰你、支持你、保护你免受暴行。但他们却可以非常舒适地旁观！

评论翻译

You can find no help from anyone. You can be robbed by a taxi, auto rickshaw and shop keeper or a hotel owner. In the bus park, train station they give you wrong information. After riding a train or bus, they start pushing you, they suffer you from their unmannered, rude behavior. Even if you cry for their mistreatment, no one will show a little sympathy. If you are in a hotel room with your wife, you are unsafe. Any time hotel staff or other gang with the support of hotel staff can enter into your room and can take your wife away. If you phone the police, trust me, they will ask you for bribe first. I promise I will never put my feet on the horribly dirty land again in my life. I have a big trauma about.

你找不到任何帮助。你可能会被出租车、三轮车和店主或酒店老板抢劫。在公交车站、火车站，他们会给你错误的信息。在乘坐火车或公交车后，他们开始推搡你，他们无礼的行为让你遭受痛苦。即使你因为他们的虐待而哭泣，也没有人会表现出一点同情。如果你和妻子在酒店房间里，你也是不安全的。酒店工作人员或其他帮派可能随时进入你的房间，并且在酒店工作人员的支持下带走你的妻子。如果你给警察打电话，相信我，他们首先会向你索要贿赂。我保证我这辈子再也不会踏上那片可怕的肮脏土地了。我对此有很大的创伤。

I am an Indian living in US for several years and am “Americanized”, and settled in US. So far I did visit India 3 times as a tourist, once for 3 weeks, another for 60 days, and the third one for 5 weeks. Every time I visit India, I look for public “toilets/bathrooms” their location and cleanliness in the cities I visit for convenience. Here are some of my experiences visiting India and how some perceptions developed after various situations and circumstances:

我是一个生活在美国多年、已经“美国化”并且在美国定居的印度人。到目前为止，我作为游客去过印度3次，一次是3周，另一次是60天，第三次是5周。每次我访问印度，我都会寻找公共“厕所/洗手间”的位置和清洁状况，以便在我访问的城市中方便使用。以下是我访问印度的一些经历，以及在各种情况和环境下形成的一些看法：

1. Asking larger train stations (like Mumbai, Delhi, Howrah etc) ticket staff, what’s the “best” time to come to the station to buy a long distance train ticket, trying to avoid crowds. I found out from my own experience (thank God for my fluent Hindi, compliments to Bollywood dialogue movies :-), the railway station “coolies” have very practical solutions for arrival and catching trains for a particular express train , and on which platform and at what time. Coolies are very knowledgeable and informative about trains, and they even told me a strategy how to hop on the train when it is crowded, especially in 2nd class passenger train. I always tip the coolies extra, even when they just carry my light carry-on bag, I still hire them and tip them accordingly.

1. 我询问了一些大型火车站（如孟买、德里、豪拉等）的售票员，什么时候是来车站购买长途火车票的“最佳”时间，试图避开人群。我从自己的经验中发现（感谢上帝，我的印地语很流利，感谢宝莱坞对话电影:-)，火车站的“搬运工”对于到达和赶上特定快车、在哪个站台以及何时出发有非常实用的解决方案。搬运工对火车非常了解和信息丰富，他们甚至告诉了我一个策略，如何在火车拥挤时跳上火车，尤其是在二等座客车上。即使他们只是搬运我的轻便行李，我也总是额外给搬运工小费，我还是会雇用他们并相应地给小费。

2. On long distance trains, such as Himsagar Express ( 3nights), Guwahati Express (3 nights) or Kerala Express (2 nights) or other overnight express trains, I wake up at 5:30am and go to the lavatory (bathroom) and clean myself before fellow passengers start waking up around 8am, yes, around 8am. Indian train passengers love to sleep in late and slowly get back to breakfast or talk, or holler at chaiwallas for tea or vadawallas or order breakfast from the train compartment attendant.

2.在像Himsagar Express（3晚）、Guwahati Express（3晚）或Kerala Express（2晚）这样的长途火车上，或其他过夜快车上，我会在早上5:30起床，去洗手间清洁自己，然后在其他乘客大约在早上8点开始醒来之前，是的，大约是早上8点。印度火车乘客喜欢睡懒觉，然后慢慢开始吃早餐或聊天，或者向茶摊老板喊茶或者点早餐。

3. There seems to be quite a demand for street chaiwalla stand for tea around 4pm, and this is in Mumbai, not far from CSTM train station, formerly VT station. There were almost 50 people standing in que (line) just to get a small plastic cup of tea.

3.大约下午4点左右，街头的茶摊似乎需求量很大，这是在孟买，离CSTM火车站不远，以前叫VT站。大约有50人排队，只为了得到一小杯塑料杯装的茶。

4. I felt guilty hiring the “human rickshaw” puller in Kolkata on Sudder Street to take me to Mother Teresa’s House (grave). A man at the internet cafe called the rickshaw puller quickly and told him to take me to Mother’s House. The rickshaw puller was very happy and enthusiastic to take me to Mother’s House, and he was older than me, more like my uncle or very older brother. But, I wasn’t thrilled inside of me, felt guilty, but, I managed to ride with him. He knew all the short cuts from the back alleys, and in about 15 minutes or so, I reached Mother’s House for a visit.

4.我在加尔各答的Sudder街上雇用了“人力车夫”带我去特雷莎修女之家（墓地），感到内疚。一位在网吧的男子迅速叫来了人力车夫，并告诉他带我去修女之家。人力车夫非常高兴和热情地带我去修女之家，他比我年纪大，更像是我的叔叔或者年纪很大的哥哥。但是，我内心并不兴奋，感到内疚，但我还是和他一起骑车了。他知道所有从后巷的捷径，在大约15分钟左右，我就到了修女之家参观。

5. I took a overnight bus from Jaipur to Udaipur in Rajasthan on my first visit to India, in winter month (November). I had the jacket, still cold, and too bumpy ride throughout night. On my 2nd visit to India, I took an overnight bus from Manali (Himachal Pradesh) to Chandigar (Punjab). Couldn’t sleep on bus, and every stop, bus passengers want to eat refreshments and food (and this is between 8pm to 6am following morning). During my 2nd visit, I took a daytime bus from Jammu to Srinagar. Back than the security was very tight, and the para-military told the bus driver somewhere after 6 hour bus ride around 6pm, to stop driving and stay at some hostel for overnight, and start driving in the morning to Srinagar for passenger safety. I made up my mind no more overnight and long distance bus travel in India. Wherever the train goes, I go. :-).

5.我在第一次访问印度时，在冬季（11月），从斋浦尔乘坐夜间巴士去乌代浦。我穿着夹克，还是冷，整夜都颠簸不安。在我第二次访问印度时，我从喜马偕尔邦的马纳利乘坐了一辆通宵巴士去旁遮普的昌迪加尔。在巴士上睡不着觉，每次停车，巴士乘客都想吃点心和食物（这是晚上8点到第二天早上6点之间）。在我第二次访问期间，我白天乘坐了从查谟到斯利那加的巴士。当时安全检查非常严格，准军事部队在大约6小时车程后的晚上6点左右，告诉巴士司机停车，留在某个旅馆过夜，然后早上再开车去斯利那加，以保障乘客安全。我下定决心，不再在印度进行通宵和长途巴士旅行。火车去哪里，我就去哪里。:-)。

I’ve to admit, Indian long distance train travels are more adventurous and comfortable. Very interesting passengers along the way, and most of them are friendly and hospitable as well as helpful. Bengalis in Kolkata are very talkative and lively on their metro and commuter trains, whereas, commuters in Mumbai are very quite on their local trains. Most of my long distance travels in Indian railways was on 2AC (air-condition). There was Indrail Pass (for convenience and maximum train travel across Indian railways and regions) for foreigners till 2017 on Indian Railways/trains, and was discontinued. I traveled twice on Indrail pass in India visiting several long distance cities within time periods of the Indrail pass. Once on a 60 day pass, another on a 30 day pass.

我必须承认，印度的长途火车旅行更具冒险性和舒适性。一路上遇到的乘客非常有趣，他们大多数都是友好、好客和乐于助人的。加尔各答的孟加拉人在他们的地铁和通勤火车上非常健谈和活泼，而孟买的通勤者在他们的当地火车上非常安静。我在印度铁路的大多数长途旅行都是在2AC（空调车厢）。直到2017年，印度铁路/火车上还有Indrail Pass（为了方便和最大限度地跨越印度铁路和地区的火车旅行）供外国人使用，后来被取消了。我曾两次使用Indrail pass在印度旅行，访问了几个长途城市，期间遵守了Indrail pass的时间规定。一次是60天通行证，另一次是30天通行证。

I hope you enjoyed reading my experiences in India, the perceptions I got out of it, and I did share with my friends.

我希望你喜欢读我的印度经历，我从中得到的看法，我确实与我的朋友们分享了。

Perez Pepito
Positive: lots of respected doctors and scientists. Duty. Family honor. Religious and philosophical tolerance and respect about atheism to agnosticism to various religions. Obey rules. Spend any amount of money for kids tuition (but only that). Earn a lot of money and save a boatload.

积极的方面：许多受人尊敬的医生和科学家。责任感。家族荣誉。对无神论到不可知论再到各种宗教的宗教和哲学容忍和尊重。遵守规则。为孩子的学费花费任何金额（但仅限于此）。赚很多钱并存下一大笔钱。

Negative perception is the smell (lack of deodorant), lack of sense of comedy or humour, inflexibility in food or entertainment (everything must be Indian), and hence a lack of open-mindedness. Not able to dress well, socially inept, no understanding or respect for aesthetics. Women are prudish and men are awkward socially. Treat kids not so well, they do not allow kids to be very happy(many appear depressed, not fitting into their peer groups unless they are in controlled situations with a lot of nerds). Do not know how to have fun or live life.

消极的看法是气味（缺乏除臭剂）、缺乏喜剧或幽默感、食物或娱乐的不灵活性（一切都必须是印度的），因此缺乏开放的心态。不能穿得体面，社交能力不足，不懂美感或尊重美学。女性过分保守，男性在社交方面笨拙。对待孩子不够好，他们不允许孩子过得很快乐（许多孩子似乎沮丧，除非他们身处与许多书呆子的受控环境中，否则他们不适应自己的同龄群）。不知道如何享乐或享受生活。

Abraham Williams
Before people visit India, the general perception around the world is that India is a poor, developing, and chaotic country with a large population. People often expect to see a lot of poverty, pollution, and a lot of cultural differences.
After people visit India, their perception of the country changes significantly. They are often amazed by the vibrant culture, the delicious food, and the hospitality of the people. They also appreciate the country’s rich history and diversity. Additionally, many people find the country’s natural beauty and architecture to be quite stunning. In general, people come away with a newfound appreciation for India and its people.

在人们访问印度之前，世界上普遍的看法是印度是一个贫穷、发展中、人口众多且混乱的国家。人们通常预期会看到很多贫困、污染以及很多文化差异。
访问印度后，人们对这个国家的看法有了显著的改变。他们常常对充满活力的文化、美味的食物和人们的热情好客感到惊讶。他们也欣赏这个国家丰富的历史和多样性。此外，许多人发现这个国家的自然美景和建筑非常惊艳。总的来说，人们带着对印度及其人民新发现的欣赏离开了。

Manish Jaiswal
The perception of India and Indians around the world varies from person to person and culture to culture. However, it is often shaped by stereotypes and media portrayals that do not fully capture the depth and diversity of our country.
Many people who visit India for the first time are often struck by the warmth and hospitality of its people, as well as the richness of its culture and history. They are also often amazed by the complexity and contradictions that exist in our society, and the challenges that we face as a nation.

印度和印度人在世界各地的形象因人而异，因文化而异。然而，它通常是由刻板印象和媒体描绘所塑造的，这并没有完全捕捉到我们国家的深度和多样性。
很多第一次访问印度的人常常被这里人民的热情好客以及文化和历史的丰富所打动。他们也常常对我们社会中存在的复杂性和矛盾感到惊讶，以及我们作为一个国家所面临的挑战。

It is important to recognize that our country is not without its flaws, and there are many issues that we need to address as a society. However, we must also celebrate the many strengths and gifts that India has to offer, and work to build a brighter future for all.

重要的是要认识到，我们的国家并非没有缺陷，作为一个社会，我们有许多问题需要解决。然而，我们也必须庆祝印度所能提供的许多优势和礼物，并努力为所有人建设一个更加光明的未来。

Let us continue to welcome visitors from around the world with open arms, and share the beauty and wisdom of our culture with all those who are willing to learn and grow.

让我们继续张开双臂欢迎来自世界各地的游客，并与所有愿意学习和成长的人分享我们文化的美丽和智慧。

Neither Accept nor Reject
Who cares!!!??? After a thousand years of persecution including a GENOCIDE of 90 million Indians by Muslim invaders and 66 million by the British — Indians don’t give or at least shouldn’t give a damn what the rest of the world thinks of them! Let these barbaric, intolerant and bigoted people think whatever they want — Indians should do what they want and say what they think and a pox on anyone that has a problem with that. Be strong in your own strength and culture and don’t worry about the perceptions of those destined for history’s dust bin!

谁在乎！！！???经历了千年的迫害，包括九千万印度人被穆斯林入侵者屠杀和六千六百万被英国人屠杀——印度人不应该或者至少不应该在意世界其他地方的看法！让这些野蛮、不容忍和偏执的人想什么就让他们想什么——印度人应该做他们想做的事情，说他们想说的话，对于那些有问题的人可以让他们见鬼去吧。坚定自己的力量和文化，不要担心那些注定被历史尘埃覆盖的人的看法！

India suffers from the worst preception problems of any country.
Most people who travel here are under the impression only one version of India exists.
My perception of India is that they are the same as everyone else!
The narrow image portrayed of India hurts the numbers and types of people who are willing to visit this great country.
I don't do yoga, meditation or eat vegetables, and I live a regular life here.
If people have their eyes open, they will see India and they will realise what is here - people trying to survive and have a good life (just like everyone else:)

印度遭受着世界上任何国家都无法比拟的最糟糕的形象问题。大多数来这里旅行的人都认为只存在一个版本的印度。我对印度的看法是他们和其他人一样！对印度的狭隘形象损害了愿意访问这个伟大国家的人数和类型。我不做瑜伽、冥想或吃蔬菜，在这里我过着普通的生活。如果人们睁开眼睛，他们会看到印度，并且他们会意识到这里有什么——人们试图生存并过上好生活（就像其他人一样:)

Fenrir Blake
Not great. Between the terrifyingly high rape rates, the blatant disregard for animal/human life (minus cows, like really?) the mistreatment of foreigners (ya, every country does it, but you guys are Much worse) the treatment of women as property, the sheer lack of sanitation of any kind aka wiping your ass with your bare hands and feces in the streets (starting to sound like California…)

不是很好。在恐怖的强奸率、对动物/人类生命的公然漠视（除了牛，真的吗？）、对外国人的虐待（是的，每个国家都会有，但你们更糟糕）、将妇女视为财产、绝对缺乏任何形式的卫生设施，比如用光手擦屁股，街上还有粪便（开始听起来像加利福尼亚了……）

there just isn't a great view of the place. Not to mention, It would seem as though a solid 50% of the population is involved in some scamming ring or other. The Indians I've met that come here (murica) are incredibly kind, respectful, intelligent, and hard working however, and I assume they are of a different class, or maybe only the highly motivated and successful can make the journey here possible. I talk to Indians from all parts of India daily (ones that still reside there) and the arrogance and blatant racism towards whites, blacks, and some Asian groups is exhausting and astounding all at once. (I am native American).

这些问题，让人对这个地方没有很好的看法。更不用说，似乎有50%的人口涉及某种诈骗团伙或其他犯罪行为。我遇到过来这里（美国）的印度人，他们非常友善、尊重他人、聪明而努力工作，但我认为他们可能属于不同的阶层，或者只有高度积极和成功的人才能实现这里的旅程。我每天都与来自印度各地（仍在那里居住）的印度人交谈，他们对白人、黑人和一些亚洲族群的傲慢和公然的种族主义令人疲惫和震惊（我是美洲原住民）。

On that note .. I find it incredibly odd how America and white people are always flagged for their racism… when in truth, and with my vast experience (meeting with foreigners) they are by FAR the least racist group of people I have encountered. Now, every group has racists of course, but I can gamble my life on the fact that the Chinese, and Indians are by far the most hateful and racist individuals you can find. These things and many more are why India has a crushingly negative view from the rest of the planet.

在这一点上......我觉得非常奇怪的是，美国和白人总是被贴上种族主义的标签......但事实上，根据我的广泛经验（与外国人见面），他们是我遇到的最不种族主义的群体。当然，每个群体都有种族主义者，但我可以拿命打赌，中国人和印度人是迄今为止最仇恨和种族主义的人。这些问题以及其他许多问题，是为什么印度在全球的形象极度负面的原因。

The general perception is not good. I had the fortune of travelling abroad quite a few times.
The people ask how the humans and cows walk on the street. They also feel that generally people are illiterate and poor and can't afford two square meals daily. They also ask whether during elections money and gifts are given by politicians. Those who have seen the Taj Mahal wanted to know how such a beautiful moment is along a dirty river.
I prefer to explain as far as possible. But they say that only what has been seen by their friends is all they know.

普遍的看法并不好。我有幸多次出国旅行。人们会问人和牛是如何在街上一起走的。他们也觉得一般人文盲和贫穷，连每天两顿饱餐都吃不起。他们还会问，在选举期间政客是否会给予金钱和礼物。那些见过泰姬陵的人想知道，为什么这样一个美丽的纪念碑会位于一条肮脏的河旁。我尽可能地解释。但他们说，他们所知道的只是他们的朋友所见过的一切。

Anchit Bhatnagar
Why do you care..are u so insecure that opinion of irrelevant foreigners matter to you..i mean it's ok if they have relevance in your life..maybe your friend or your boss or your love or business associates and clients..but if they are random strangers would u spend your time and attention trying to impress them and bending over backwards for their attention..come on India grow up..we are 73 year old(since independence)..welcome them,respect them and their personal space but don't demean yourself and the nation flattering them

你为什么在乎...你是如此不安全，以至于无关紧要的外国人的意见对你很重要..我的意思是，如果他们在你的生活中有相关性..也许是你的朋友、老板、爱人或商业伙伴和客户..但如果他们是陌生人，你会花时间和精力试图给他们留下印象，为了他们的注意而弯腰弓背..来吧，印度该长大了..我们已经73岁了（自从独立以来）..欢迎他们，尊重他们和他们的个人空间，但不要贬低自己和国家来讨好他们。

Mason Bhanot
Before people visit India, they see a subset of Indians abroad.
If they live in the EU/Australia/Japan/USA/South Korea … they will think of Indians as highly productive, ingenious, nerdy and reliable.
If they live in the Middle East then they will look down upon Indians with contempt, as most Indians are seen working subordinate roles or manual labour.

在人们来到印度之前，他们会看到在国外的一部分印度人。如果他们居住在欧盟/澳大利亚/日本/美国/韩国等地，他们会认为印度人非常有生产力、聪明才智、书呆子和可靠。如果他们居住在中东地区，他们会蔑视印度人，因为大多数印度人在那里从事下级角色或体力劳动。

When they visit India, they see its filthy streets, its polluted cities, its overpopulation, lack of education and reluctance to open up to the world. Any romantics notions of Yoga, mysticism etc… are destroyed by what they see.

当他们来到印度时，他们看到了肮脏的街道、污染的城市、人口过剩、缺乏教育以及对外界的不愿开放。任何关于瑜伽、神秘主义等浪漫的想法都被他们所看到的现实摧毁了。
