你怎么看印度人/印度文化？
What do you think about Indians/ Indian culture?
譯文簡(jiǎn)介
網(wǎng)友：作為美國(guó)人，我個(gè)人非常喜歡印度和印度人民。我不會(huì)把他們想得過(guò)于理想化。印度不是烏托邦，也不是每個(gè)印度人都很完美，但我熱愛(ài)印度的文化、電影和美食。我尤其喜歡的是印度人熱情款待的態(tài)度。去年，我和妻子第二次去印度旅游。我們住在五個(gè)不同城市的五個(gè)家庭中，這些家庭是我通過(guò)Quora結(jié)識(shí)的。這是我們經(jīng)歷過(guò)的最棒的旅行。這些家庭成了我們的家，我們也成了他們的家人。

As an American, I personally love India and Indians. I don’t over-idealize them. India is not Shangri-La, nor is every Indian perfect, but I love Indian culture, Indian cinema, and Indian food.
What I love most is Indian hospitality. Last year, my wife and I visited India for the second time. We stayed in five different cities in the homes of five families I met through Quora. It was the best travel experience I ever had. Each of those families became our family, just as we became theirs.

在烏賈因的寄宿家庭，以及他們的親戚和鄰居，在我們到來(lái)時(shí)為我們舉行了一場(chǎng)宗教儀式。無(wú)論我們想買一瓶水還是一件昂貴的無(wú)領(lǐng)長(zhǎng)袖襯衫，有些家庭不讓我們花錢。一位年輕的朋友失業(yè)了，每次我在商店或市場(chǎng)看中了什么，她都會(huì)問(wèn)：“你喜歡那個(gè)嗎，叔叔？我買給你好嗎？”我會(huì)等她忙于陪我妻子時(shí)，偷偷買下我想要的東西。
我和妻子都是音樂(lè)家。我們?cè)跒踬Z因被邀請(qǐng)進(jìn)行家庭音樂(lè)會(huì)的演出。它非常受歡迎，以至于錯(cuò)過(guò)的人請(qǐng)求我們?cè)诘诙煸傺菀粓?chǎng)。第二天來(lái)的人是前一天的三倍多，場(chǎng)地?cái)D得水泄不通。人們給我們帶來(lái)了鮮花，一位女士還偷偷塞給我妻子一個(gè)裝有100盧比的信封。

There is a warmth of heart in many Indians that is unmistakable.
在阿姆拉瓦蒂，我們的寄宿家庭為我們舉辦了一場(chǎng)“屋頂音樂(lè)會(huì)”。來(lái)自信德社區(qū)的許多人參加了……甚至還有一支完整的板球隊(duì)！我們表演結(jié)束后，信德社區(qū)的人們一首接一首地唱歌，并邀請(qǐng)我們和他們一起跳舞。我不知道什么時(shí)候比這更快樂(lè)……或者感覺(jué)被整個(gè)社區(qū)所包圍。
許多印度人都有一顆溫暖的心，這是毋庸置疑的。
All said and done but this needs to be said. I am waiting for the day when Indians will be as appreciative of their own people as they are of people from other countries or celebrities. My personal experiences have destroyed the utopian view of indian hospitality. Sadly it doesn't extend to their own countrymen. But I still hope the youngsters in india will be different.Peace.
不管怎樣，這句話不得不說(shuō)。我期待著印度人有能像欣賞其他國(guó)家的人或名人一樣欣賞自己的同胞的那一天。我個(gè)人的經(jīng)歷打破了我對(duì)印度熱情好客的理想化看法。遺憾的是，這種好客并沒(méi)有延伸到他們自己的同胞身上。但我仍然希望印度的年輕人會(huì)有所不同。愿和平降臨。
India is a spectacular place to visit.
Living here is another story :p.
印度是一個(gè)參觀起來(lái)令人驚嘆的地方。
但住在這里就是另一回事了。
Ma'am, please don't generalize. I would say most of us if not all are not like that. It all depends on how we are brought up. Parents must stop teaching their children about their caste, which I think is the cheapest perspective to look people upon. Hope the future generations realize this!!!!
女士，請(qǐng)不要一概而論。我會(huì)說(shuō)我們大多數(shù)人，如果不是所有人，都不是那樣的。這完全取決于我們是如何成長(zhǎng)的。父母應(yīng)該停止向孩子們灌輸他們的種姓觀念，我認(rèn)為這是看待他人的最膚淺的角度。希望未來(lái)的一代能夠意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn)！
I am not talking abt caste Navin. I agree with your comment but if you pay attention i am talking abt indians being kinder to a foreigner than their own people, which also reeks of casteism. Foreign and english are the new castes esp amongst people from weaker economic sections as we from the upper echelons of society value it.
我不是在談?wù)摲N姓，Navin。我同意你的觀點(diǎn)，但如果你仔細(xì)聽(tīng)，我在說(shuō)的是印度人對(duì)外國(guó)人比對(duì)自己的同胞更友好，這同樣也是種姓制度的體現(xiàn)。外國(guó)人和英語(yǔ)成為了新的種姓，尤其是在經(jīng)濟(jì)較弱勢(shì)的人群中，就像我們來(lái)自社會(huì)上層的人很看重它一樣。
I wonder if an Indian family will treat an Indian stranger in similar way. Indians have a tendancy to respect people from other nation and spit on their own people. Just saying
我想知道一個(gè)印度家庭是否會(huì)以類似的方式對(duì)待一個(gè)陌生的印度人。我只是想說(shuō)這一點(diǎn)：印度人有一種傾向，尊重其他國(guó)家的人，卻忽視自己的同胞。
Because unfortunately, today foreigners are more reliable than our own fellow countrymen…
Although it wasn’t the scene some 25–30 years ago..
因?yàn)椴恍业氖?，今天外?guó)人比我們的同胞更可靠…
然而25-30年前的情況并非如此…
Lets be honest here. Indians don’t trust random Indians because of all the road scams and home robberies which have happened in the 80s, 90s and early 00s. I don’t blame any Indian for this. Few rotten thieves destroyed everything for the rest of the people.
說(shuō)實(shí)話吧，印度人不信任陌生的印度人，因?yàn)?0年代、90年代和21世紀(jì)初發(fā)生了太多路上的騙局和入室盜竊。我不覺(jué)得印度人有錯(cuò)，少數(shù)幾個(gè)爛賊為其余的人破壞了一切。

I am an Indian( retired) and live six months in India with my son and his family and six months in the US with my daughter and her family. It is so, because we both don’t want to annoy any of the two. Though we are self-sufficient( getting good pension) but none of them would allow us to spend or they would feel small. That way we are lucky and I think that may be due to Indian culture, where the children are imbibed with an advice to look after the elders.
When comparing the two societies, of course there is a lot of difference, still I would appreciate a number of good points in the US society, which we don’t find in the Indian culture.
我是印度人（已退休），在印度和我兒子一家住六個(gè)月，在美國(guó)和我女兒一家住六個(gè)月。我們這樣做是因?yàn)槲覀儾幌氪驍_任何一方。盡管我們自給自足（領(lǐng)取的退休金可不少），但他們都不會(huì)讓我們花錢，否則他們會(huì)覺(jué)得不舒服。因此我們很幸運(yùn)，我想這可能與印度文化有關(guān)，孩子們從小就被教導(dǎo)要照顧長(zhǎng)輩。

Nah. That’s not true. You live in Canada and India. Not the US. Your daughter and her family live in Canada. Not the US.
不對(duì)，這不是真的。你住在加拿大和印度，不是美國(guó)。你女兒和她的家人住在加拿大，不是美國(guó)。
So since we have discovered you’re daughter and her family live in Canada, where you also live, along with India, edit your comment to say “Canada” and NOT “US”.
既然我們已經(jīng)知道你的女兒和她的家人住在加拿大，你也住在那里，還有印度，請(qǐng)編輯你的評(píng)論說(shuō)“加拿大”，而不要說(shuō)“美國(guó)”。
I am so glad your book got released. I am definetely gonna read that. :)
我很高興你的書(shū)出版了，我一定會(huì)讀的。
people are poor but very rich inside
人們雖然物質(zhì)上貧窮，但內(nèi)心非常富有。

哦，我的天。我確信你喜歡它的。讓我們計(jì)劃一下你下次訪問(wèn)印多爾時(shí)的活動(dòng)吧。

Thanks for sharing that wonderful experience. Yes, that’s the way in India. I am from India, but live away from my country. Even when I go back, my relatives and friends never let me spend any money, as I am treated as a guest! For me , it is both sad and joyful as I rarely have an opportunity to be of service to them when they are in need.
感謝分享那美妙的經(jīng)歷。是的，那就是印度的方式。我來(lái)自印度，但住在遠(yuǎn)離我的國(guó)家的地方。即使我回去，我的親戚和朋友也不讓我花錢，因?yàn)槲冶灰暈榭腿?！?duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，這既悲傷又快樂(lè)，因?yàn)槲液苌儆袡C(jī)會(huì)在他們需要的時(shí)候?yàn)樗麄兎?wù)。

To many more of such visits !
你們倆在這里過(guò)得愉快，這令人振奮。

We call that envelope with a 100 rupees inside ‘shagun’ :D Nice to see that you enjoyed your stay.
我們把里面裝有100盧比的信封叫做”shagun（象征吉祥和祝福的傳統(tǒng)禮物）“，很高興看到您在這里過(guò)得愉快。
Wow ! If you have visited to Amravati in Maharashtra state, then glad to know since it's my native place.

I’d go every year if I could afford the airfare. :-) In fact, One of my friend’s mom wrote me on Facebook and said she hopes my new book is a huge success so that we can afford to return to India sooner. <3
如果我負(fù)擔(dān)得起機(jī)票，我每年都會(huì)去。事實(shí)上，我的一個(gè)朋友的媽媽在Facebook上給我發(fā)信息，說(shuō)她希望我的新書(shū)能取得巨大成功，這樣我們就可以早點(diǎn)回到印度。

Your kind words means a lot to the people who loves India..It just Indian who don’t value their unique culture which makes me sad..People have complains even though they are not even trying to make any difference.Their responsibility ends by blaming government and police, sharing posts on social media.These people doesn’t even leave their seats for old man and pregnant lady..
YOU MADE MY DAY!!
你溫暖的話語(yǔ)對(duì)那些熱愛(ài)印度的人來(lái)說(shuō)意義重大。然而，讓我感到遺憾的是，一些印度人自己卻不珍視他們獨(dú)特的文化。許多人只知道抱怨，卻不愿意做出任何改變。他們的責(zé)任感仿佛只停留在指責(zé)政府和警察，或者在社交媒體上發(fā)表幾條帖子上。這些人甚至連給老人和孕婦讓座都不愿意。你讓我今天心情特別好！
Please visit my city Hyderabad,Telangana.I would love to host you guys.
請(qǐng)?jiān)L問(wèn)我的城市海得拉巴，特倫甘納;我很樂(lè)意招待你們。
Next time when you visit India please visit Ranchi Jharkhand my native place. I will love to host you :)
下次你訪問(wèn)印度時(shí)，請(qǐng)?jiān)L問(wèn)我的家鄉(xiāng)蘭契加爾克漢德邦(Jharkhand),我很想招待你 .
May be that happened since you are white and from a country they assume everyone could benefit from. Suppose you are from Sierra Leone and you are the greatest musician from there, forget about the concert I am sure no Indian is even going to host you even if you pay for it. See your color and country is what they have idolised.
可能這是因?yàn)槟闶前兹耍瑏?lái)自一個(gè)他們認(rèn)為每個(gè)人都能從中受益的國(guó)家。假設(shè)你來(lái)自塞拉利昂，即使你是那里最偉大的音樂(lè)家，忘了音樂(lè)會(huì)吧，我敢說(shuō)哪怕你自掏腰包,都不會(huì)有印度人愿意招待你的。在他們心目中，你的膚色和國(guó)家才是他們所崇拜的。
Not true ! I have experience of being with many foreigners including one from Nigeria as well in my hometown Lucknow ( Uttar Pradesh )
He was amazed by the affection our family and other people showed him, And you know what he cried , when he was about to leave for his country after 2 years.
這不是真的！在我的家鄉(xiāng)勒克瑙（北方邦），我有很多與外國(guó)人相處的經(jīng)歷，包括一個(gè)來(lái)自尼日利亞的人。他對(duì)我們家和其他印度人對(duì)他的友好表示感到驚訝。你知道嗎，當(dāng)他在兩年后離開(kāi)印度回國(guó)時(shí)，他感動(dòng)得哭了。
I've found Indians to be obsessed with getting approval from outsiders to feel good about themselves, which is strange given the influence India has in international politics. Perhaps a vestige of its colonial past, and not so much inherent in its culture. The Brits, for example do not give a damn what the world thinks about them, and are convinced of their superiority. This might also be because of their religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, etc) - which don't teach that theirs is the only right path, but instead encourage questioning.
我注意到印度人似乎很渴望得到外界的認(rèn)可，以此來(lái)提升自己的自尊，考慮到印度在國(guó)際政治中的影響力，這很奇怪。這可能源自其殖民地歷史的殘留影響，而不僅僅是文化本身的特性。例如，英國(guó)人并不在意世界對(duì)他們的看法，并且對(duì)自己的優(yōu)越性深信不疑。這種情況可能也與他們的宗教信仰（如印度教、佛教等）有關(guān)——這些宗教并不宣稱自己的道路是唯一正確的，而是鼓勵(lì)信徒提出質(zhì)疑。
Getting concurrence of others is a way to ensure , we remain sensitive to others' opinion of us.
If you are sensitive to others opinion then you do not hurt them with your words with your behaviour and with your ego.
So being concerned with the opinions of others is a good thing a s long as it helps you to improve oneself and give the best of your civility and behaviour to them.
I hope I am able to explain what I intended to say
獲得他人的認(rèn)同是確保我們對(duì)他人看法保持敏感的一種方式。
如果你對(duì)他人的看法敏感，就不會(huì)在言語(yǔ)、行為和自尊心上傷害他們。
因此，只要能幫助你提升自己，并將你最好的禮儀和行為展現(xiàn)給他人，關(guān)注他人的意見(jiàn)是件好事。
希望我能清楚地表達(dá)我的意思。
Why Anon?
為什么要匿名？
Because he might be Indian and saying truths staying in India might trigger some narrow minds and also leads to violence on him.

Overall: very positive
India is one of the few places where Jews were not persecuted by the government and were given equal rights with other citizens. India has also been a victim of terrorism, much like Israel, has been a good friend and ally to Israel, and — like Israel — was a victim of British imperialism; consequently, I feel a great deal of kinship and camaraderie towards India. I am also a fan of the cuisine. ;)
總的來(lái)說(shuō)：非常正面
印度是為數(shù)不多的幾個(gè)國(guó)家之一，猶太人在那里沒(méi)有受到政府的迫害，并且享有與其他公民平等的權(quán)利。印度也和以色列一樣，是恐怖主義的受害者，一直是以色列的好朋友和盟友，并且——和以色列一樣——曾遭受英國(guó)帝國(guó)主義的侵害。因此，我對(duì)印度感到非常親切和團(tuán)結(jié)。我也是印度美食的粉絲。
至于印度人本身，我盡量不去對(duì)他們進(jìn)行泛泛而談。印度有超過(guò)10億的人口，任何一概而論都會(huì)有很多的反例，都是不準(zhǔn)確的。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，他們就像其他任何人一樣，都是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的個(gè)體。
I personally feel very positive about Indians. Based on my experience with Indians, they are well-mannered and generally well educated. I also generally feel they are inquisitive in nature so they ask good questions and understand what's going on in the world.
我個(gè)人對(duì)印度人持有非常正面的看法。根據(jù)我與印度人的互動(dòng)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，他們舉止得體，普遍受過(guò)良好的教育。我還發(fā)現(xiàn)他們天生好奇，因此他們會(huì)提出有深度的問(wèn)題，并且對(duì)世界動(dòng)態(tài)有著清晰的理解。
我還會(huì)提到，我接觸的印度人大多在高科技行業(yè)工作，如醫(yī)療、工程、信息技術(shù)、軟件開(kāi)發(fā)或醫(yī)生等。換言之，他們通常在在美國(guó)有很高需求的領(lǐng)域工作。也就是說(shuō)，在我看來(lái)，如果一個(gè)人受過(guò)教育，印度文化似乎更傾向于選擇一個(gè)更穩(wěn)定的職業(yè)領(lǐng)域，而不是冒險(xiǎn)進(jìn)入藝術(shù)行業(yè)。這當(dāng)然有利有弊，但我在美國(guó)很少遇到從事藝術(shù)行業(yè)的印度人。顯然，在印度情況并非如此，比如有寶萊塢的存在。
