Sonia Gandhi was born in 1946 to Italian parents in a small village in northern Italy. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended a Catholic school. Her life changed in 1964 when she went to study English in England. It was there that she met and fell in love with Rajiv Gandhi, the future Prime Minister of India.
1946年，索尼婭·甘地出生在意大利北部小鎮(zhèn)，她的父母為意大利人。她出生在羅馬天主教家庭，并在天主教學(xué)校上學(xué)。1964年，她前往英格蘭學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，就在那年她的人生從此發(fā)生了改變。她在那里結(jié)識(shí)了未來(lái)的印度總理拉吉夫·甘地，并相愛(ài)。
The couple were married in 1969. Sonia quickly got a taste of Indian politics when she moved in with her mother-in-law Indira Gandhi, India’s Prime Minister. They decided to stay out of politics. Rajiv was an airline pilot and Sonia stayed at home to look after her family. This changed dramatically in 1984 when Indira was assassinated and Rajiv became Prime Minister.
1969年，兩人結(jié)婚。自從索尼婭與岳母英迪拉·甘地總理一同居住后，索尼婭很快對(duì)印度政治有所了解。他們決定遠(yuǎn)離政治。拉吉夫曾是一名客機(jī)駕駛員，索尼婭開(kāi)始相夫教子。而就在1984年發(fā)生了巨變，英迪拉遭到刺殺，拉吉夫隨即成為總理。
Following her husband's assassination in 1991, she was under a lot of pressure to become leader of the ruling Congress Party. She refused many times over the next seven years. She hated politics and said she would rather her children be beggars than politicians. She finally joined the Congress Party and became its president within a record 62 days of joining.
1991年，拉吉夫也遭到刺殺，她在重壓之下成為了印度國(guó)大黨主席。在未來(lái)的七年中，她曾多次拒絕。她討厭政治，并稱(chēng)她寧愿自己的孩子成為乞丐，也不愿意他們成為政治家。她最終加入了國(guó)大黨，并在加入后的62天里創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的成為了國(guó)大黨主席。
She has been Congress President for ten consecutive years，another record. In 2004 she was asked to lead a 15-party coalition and be India’s Prime Minister. She refused and caused a political storm. She is still a member of parliament for Uttar Pradesh. She now speaks at international conferences and makes the yearly lists of the world’s most powerful or influential women.
另一項(xiàng)記錄是她連續(xù)十年出任國(guó)大黨主席。2004年，他被要求領(lǐng)導(dǎo)15黨派聯(lián)盟，并出任印度總理。她拒絕了總理一職，并引發(fā)了政治風(fēng)暴。她依舊是印度北方邦的議會(huì)成員。如今，她仍然在國(guó)際會(huì)議中發(fā)表言論，這也讓她入選了全球最具影響力女性榜單之中。
