網(wǎng)友回復(fù)：第一次去印度旅行的人會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)哪些出乎意料的東西？

India Feels Safe

印度讓人感到安全

The whole time I was in India I never once felt threatened. I felt grubby but never threatened. I felt slightly conned sometimes - ripped off for paying too much for a pair of rubber boots, but I never felt unsafe.

我在印度度過(guò)的整段時(shí)光里，從來(lái)沒(méi)曾感到過(guò)受到威脅。我覺得很臟，但從來(lái)沒(méi)有人威脅我。有時(shí)候我覺得自己被騙了——因?yàn)榛颂噱X買一雙橡膠靴子而被人割了韭菜，但我從來(lái)沒(méi)覺得不安全。

Indian People Are Nosey.

印度人很八卦。

I love finding out about other peoples lives. I reckon I should have been a chat show host or something. I like to call myself an inquisitive listener. Other people like to call me a nosey old bag.

我很喜歡了解其他人的生活。我后悔自己沒(méi)當(dāng)一個(gè)聊天秀主持人之類的。我喜歡說(shuō)自己是一個(gè)喜歡提問(wèn)的傾聽者。別人喜歡說(shuō)我是個(gè)八卦的老女人。

Whether they mean to be or not, Indian people are nosey. Almost everyone you meet -if they can speak English then you’d better be ready to answer some personal questions. On average, we were asked about twenty-seven times a day:

不管他們有意還是無(wú)意，印度人非常喜歡四處打聽。你遇見的幾乎每一個(gè)人，只要他們會(huì)講英語(yǔ)，那你最好準(zhǔn)備好回答一些個(gè)人問(wèn)題。平均來(lái)說(shuō)，我們每天要回答二十七次這些問(wèn)題：

Where do you live? How much is your mortgage? What job do you have? Why are you wearing those hideous white boots and Does your son want to marry my daughter?

你住在哪？你的房貸多少？你做什么工作？你為什么穿著那雙可笑的白靴子？你兒子愿不愿意娶我閨女？

Ok. I made that last bit up, but seriously, I have never been faced with such upfront questioning in all of my life. It was wonderful. Like going on holiday with Jimmy Fallon.

算了，我承認(rèn)最后一句是自己編的。我一輩子都沒(méi)被問(wèn)過(guò)這種直白的問(wèn)題。但這很有趣，就像是和吉米法倫一起度假。

6. Indian People Are Hygenic.

印度人講衛(wèi)生。

I didn’t expect there to be seperate hand washing facilities in every restaurant. It appears to be the norm in all the eateries in India. Even the street sellers will offer you a bottle of water to pour over your hands before you eat. Meaning that…

我預(yù)料之外的是，印度的每個(gè)餐館都有獨(dú)立的洗手設(shè)施。看起來(lái)印度的所有餐廳都會(huì)這么做。就算是街上的小販也會(huì)給你一瓶水，供你在你吃東西之前洗手。這意味著……

7. You don’t always get ill.

你不一定會(huì)生病。

We’ve all heard the stories of the famous Dehli belly and leaving India four stone lighter than when you arrive. No, and annoyingly, no. I've had worse food poisoning eating oysters that I purchased from a posh supermarket in the U.K than I ever suffered while in India. The whole time I was there I didn't get ill once. Maybe a little loose around the bowels occasionally, but nothing that a Flagyl couldn’t sort out. Sorry. That was rather unladylike. And that's the other thing.

我們都聽說(shuō)過(guò)著名的“德里肚子”，離開印度之后比到那的時(shí)候輕上將近六十磅。不，雖然有點(diǎn)難受，但不是這樣。我在印度拉過(guò)的肚子，還沒(méi)有在英國(guó)遭受過(guò)的，吃了從高端超市里買的生蠔導(dǎo)致的食物中毒嚴(yán)重。在那從頭到尾我都沒(méi)生過(guò)病，或許有時(shí)會(huì)拉肚子，但沒(méi)有甲硝唑解決不了的。抱歉，可能有點(diǎn)不那么淑女。這是我要講的另一件事。

8. You Don’t Need A Prescxtion To Buy Antibiotics.

在印度買抗生素不需要處方。

Pharmaceutical stands are everywhere in India, and they are cheap. Incredibly cheap. Meaning that even if there is anything wrong with your stomach , you can whizz it past Google to see what you need, and then be out of your bed, down the street to the medicine seller and back under the mosquito net again clutching the medicine in your clammy little hands, quicker than you can say 'can I make an appointment to see the doctor please'.

印度到處都是藥店，藥賣的很便宜。便宜得難以置信。意味著就算你的胃腸出了點(diǎn)什么問(wèn)題，你也可以谷歌一下該吃什么藥，然后跳下床，去街上的藥店里一趟，回到床上的蚊帳里，手里攥著你要吃的藥，這么短的時(shí)間放在其他地方，可能你還沒(méi)能把“我可以預(yù)約看一下醫(yī)生嗎”說(shuō)出口。

So, there you have it. Lots of things that I wasn't expecting from the wonderful country that is India. I loved India. Every single minute of it. Even my daughter coped.

我要說(shuō)的就是這么多。有很多出乎意料的事情在印度發(fā)生。我愛印度，我愛在那里的每一分鐘。就算我的女兒覺得很難對(duì)付。

They say that you either love or you hate India but as far as I'm concerned I love hating India. There's so much to bitch about, its an endless source of outrage and entertainment. Both tragic and comic. It's never dull.

他們說(shuō)你要么喜歡印度，要么恨印度。但是據(jù)我所知，我喜歡的就是恨印度。 這兒有太多事情可以罵娘了，印度就是一個(gè)憤怒和娛樂(lè)的無(wú)盡源泉。既像悲劇又像漫畫。從來(lái)不會(huì)讓你覺得無(wú)聊。

I visited India the first time after listening to the tales of an old India hand. Two stories I remember well. The first concerned this old-hand arriving in the old Delhi Airport with his brother-in-law who had never been out of England. They left the airport to find the bus into town and after getting past the touts and taxi drivers the brother-in-law noticed something moving in some bushes. Overcome with curiosity he investigated and parted the bush. There on the other side was a woman giving birth! That was his introduction to India.

我第一次去印度，是在聽了一個(gè)老印度通講了兩段故事之后。我記得很清楚。第一個(gè)故事是他和他從沒(méi)離開過(guò)英格蘭的姐夫到舊德里機(jī)場(chǎng)的故事。他們從機(jī)場(chǎng)里出來(lái)，想要找一輛去市區(qū)的公交，在路過(guò)了一群票販子和出租車司機(jī)之后，他的姐夫看見灌木叢里有什么玩意兒在動(dòng)。在好奇心的驅(qū)使下，他走過(guò)去把灌木叢分開想要看個(gè)究竟。里頭是個(gè)女人在生孩子！這就是他來(lái)到印度的歡迎儀式。

The other tale was set in Varanasi, the pilgrimage city on the Ganges. The old India-hand described how he was sat in a small Chai shop watching the world go by when in came a stray dog with something in it's mouth It was human arm! I went to India the following year.

另一個(gè)故事是在恒河圣城瓦拉納西。那個(gè)印度通說(shuō)自己正坐在一個(gè)小茶店里看著歲月靜好，忽然有只也狗叼著什么東西走進(jìn)店里來(lái)。是個(gè)人的胳膊！我聽完這些故事，第二年就去了趟印度。

I've been 16 times in total over the years and even though I'm glad to arrive, I'm always equally happy to leave. I remember sitting in a group of backpackers in a New Delhi guest house and we were all swapping stories of our time in India. One guy had many more tales of woe than the rest of us. He'd been coming and going for 20 years and had the stories to match. Eventually a young chap asked him why he kept returning if he hated it so much? The other chap paused then answered, ‘I'll keep coming back to this place until I learn to bloody like it.’ Says it all.

在過(guò)去的幾年里，我一共去了16趟印度。盡管我在抵達(dá)的時(shí)候很開心，在離開的時(shí)候我也同樣開心。我還記得在新德里的一個(gè)客房里，一群背包客坐在一塊兒交換在印度的故事。里面有一個(gè)人悲傷的故事比起我們剩下的都要多。他已經(jīng)來(lái)來(lái)回回20年了，有很多的故事可以講。最終有一個(gè)年輕人問(wèn)他，為什么他這么恨印度，還要一趟一趟地來(lái)呢？那個(gè)人停了一下，回答說(shuō)：“我會(huì)一直再回來(lái)，直到我他媽的學(xué)會(huì)喜歡上這個(gè)地方。”這句話就夠了。
