And we will see, you know. Look here, 1858, India was here, China was here, Japan was there, United States and United Kingdom was richer over there.
正如你們所料一樣。1858年，印度和中國是在這里，日本則在那里。美國和英國則更是在那邊。
And I will start the world like this. India was not always like this level.
世界將從這樣開始。印度以前不是這樣的。
Actually if we go back into the historical record, there was a time hundreds of years ago when the income per person in India and China was even above that of Europe.
讓我們回想百年以前的印度和中國，那時(shí)，兩國的人均收入是比歐洲的水平還高。
But 1850 had already been many, many years of foreign domination, and India had been de-industrialized.
然而，在1850年時(shí)，兩國已飽受多年的外國侵略，何況印度的工業(yè)能力還被削弱。
And you can see that the countries who were growing their economy was United States and United Kingdom.
而經(jīng)濟(jì)正在發(fā)展的國家則是英美兩國。
And they were also, by the end of the century, getting healthy, and Japan was starting to catch up.
在十九世紀(jì)末時(shí)，他們的國民身體素質(zhì)也得以改善，至于日本則開始奮起直追。
India was trying down here. Can you see how it starts to move there?
偏偏印度還深陷泥沼。你們可以看見他的確是在動(dòng)嗎？
But really, really natural sovereignty was good for Japan. And Japan is trying to move up there.
國家主權(quán)完整使日本受益匪淺。日本一直在嘗試趕上去。
And it's the new century now. Health is getting better, United Kingdom, United States.
新世界到了。英美兩國的國民身體素質(zhì)更加強(qiáng)化了。
But careful now -- we are approaching the First World War. And the First World War, you know, we'll see a lot of deaths and economical problems here.
但要小心，一戰(zhàn)的腳步已經(jīng)近了。正如你所料，在一戰(zhàn)期間會(huì)爆發(fā)很多經(jīng)濟(jì)問題和導(dǎo)致死亡。
United Kingdom is going down. And now comes the Spanish flu also. And then after the First World War, they continue up.
英國在走下坡路。西班牙流感又接踵而來。一戰(zhàn)后，他們繼續(xù)向上攀升。
Still under foreign domination, and without sovereignty, India and China are down in the corner. Not much has happened.
印中兩國由于仍被外來政權(quán)統(tǒng)治著，因此他們還在下面的角落里。無甚變化。
They have grown their population but not much more. In the 1930's now, you can see that Japan is going to a period of war, with lower life expectancy.
只是人口有所增加罷了。現(xiàn)在到了三十年代，日本正處于戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期，國民壽命普遍低下。
And the Second World War was really a terrible event, also economically for Japan.
二戰(zhàn)對日本來說，尤其在經(jīng)濟(jì)上，是一場噩夢。
But they did recover quite fast afterwards. And we are moving into the new world.
但戰(zhàn)后他們恢復(fù)的相對迅速。我們正邁向新世界。
In 1947 India finally gained its independence. And they could raise the Indian flag and become a sovereign nation, but in very big difficulties down there.
印度終于于1947年成獨(dú)立國家。他們可以升起他們自己的國旗并且成為一主權(quán)國家，卻仍舉步維艱。
