You've probably heard a lot of myths and stereotypes about India. Some stereotypes might be true, but many are not. Mariaebinesan3, a blogger from India, tries to dispel some stereotypes most people assume about India.
或許，你聽(tīng)過(guò)很多對(duì)于印度的偏見(jiàn)和謬傳。有一些可能是對(duì)的，有些則是錯(cuò)的。來(lái)自印度的博主Mariaebinesan3試圖通過(guò)此文，消除大多數(shù)人對(duì)于印度的錯(cuò)誤理解。
1. All educated Indians are IT professionals.
1、所有受過(guò)教育的印度人都是IT專(zhuān)業(yè)人員。
Fact: 1 out of every 200 workers is a software engineer in the US.Indiahas about 2.75 million software developers while theUShas 4.5 million. So do the math.
事實(shí)上：在美國(guó)，每200個(gè)人中，有1個(gè)人是軟件工程師。在印度有將近275萬(wàn)軟件開(kāi)發(fā)人員，而在美國(guó)，這一數(shù)字為450萬(wàn)。你們自己算一算吧。
2. Dowry is prevalent in every part of India.
2、嫁妝在整個(gè)印度都盛行。
There's no dowry system in most of the North Eastern states ofIndia. In fact, in Meghalaya, marriages are matriarchal with a matrilineal system where property, names and wealth passes from mother to daughter rather than father to son. You'll find women take center-stage in every aspect of life.
在印度，東北部邦大部分地區(qū)都沒(méi)有送嫁妝的習(xí)俗。事實(shí)上，在梅加拉亞邦，婚姻為母系婚姻，采用母系傳承制，在這一制度之下，姓名、資產(chǎn)和財(cái)富都通過(guò)母親傳給女兒而不是通過(guò)父親傳給兒子。因而在生活各個(gè)層面，女性都居于核心地位。
