Not every free thing mentioned was a physical object. It seems that in India, people enjoy an unlimited supply of advice.
本文所提到的免費(fèi)福利不只局限于實(shí)物。在印度,人們似乎能得到無窮無盡的建議。
"In other countries, there are wedding planners. Here, we have aunts, uncles, uncle's uncles to give us advice for free," said Mehul Manot from Calcutta. "In other countries, there are counsellors. Here, we have the ever-poking neighbours: 'You shouldn't take up Arts, it's for girls. Do engineering, you'll earn lakhs per month.'"
加爾各答的Mehul Manot說:“在其他國家有婚禮策劃師。在我們國家,有七大姑八大姨,叔叔伯伯舅舅會(huì)免費(fèi)給我們建議。在其他國家,有咨詢師。在我們國家,有喜歡指手畫腳的鄰居告訴我們:‘你不該學(xué)藝術(shù),那是女孩們學(xué)的。你該學(xué)工程學(xué),這樣你的月薪才會(huì)高。’”
He added that travel agents are replaced by jet-setting cousins, and trendy friends step in for fashion consultants.
他補(bǔ)充說,旅行社代理商的位置被乘噴氣客機(jī)到處旅游的有錢表兄取代,時(shí)髦的朋友們給你充當(dāng)免費(fèi)的時(shí)尚顧問。
Advice doesn't always have to come from just friends and family, either.
在印度,不只是親友會(huì)給你建議。
"In other countries, you need to pay for consultations, but in India you can get it free of cost at tea stalls, [during] marriages or family functions, [on] trains, buses by almost anyone," said Kanchan Saxena, who currently lives in the United States. "We love giving advice."
“在其他國家,你咨詢需要花錢,但在印度你可以在茶水?dāng)?、婚禮、家族聚會(huì)、火車、公交車上向幾乎任何人免費(fèi)咨詢,” 現(xiàn)居美國的Kanchan Saxena 說,“印度人就是喜歡給別人建議?!?/p>
