一位印度人眼中的中国：一对比就彻底输了！

Four-and-a-half-year-old Srimoyee Mukherjee goes to Arya Vidya Mandir， Bandra， for the rest of the week， but come Sunday morning， she and three other kids， get tutored in Mandarin.

四岁半的 Srimoyee Mukherjee 在AryaVidya寺庙，

班德拉 呆了一个星期，到了星期日早上，她和其他三个孩子，学习了普通话。

When Srimoyee’s mother passed out from school in 1995， she studied French and knows it flakily. “But say 15 years from now， it looks like Mandarin will hold a person in good stead. So I am exposing my child to the language，” said Prema.

当srimoyee母亲1995从学校毕业，她学习了法语，而且还很精通。但是他现在如实的说：”从现在起15年内，普通话将变得更重要。所以我让我的孩子学习普通话“

The power of language is often perceived to be proportional to the economic strength of a country. So it seems with China too， where novelist Mo Yan was announced the literature Nobel winner on Wednesday.

语言的力量往往被认为是一个国家的经济实力成正比。

这点中国和其他国家一样，中国小说家莫言在星期三宣布获得诺贝尔文学奖。

Dhirubhai Ambani School students Neil (9) and Nayantara Kothari (12)， children of a top banker， are picking up Mandarin as their parents feel that China will continue to be an economic powerhouse. “Apart from the fact that our kids will have a competitive advantage over others， they will be acquainted with the rich ancient culture and its language，” said their mother Vandana Batra.

安巴尼学校的学生尼尔（9）和纳扬塔拉Kothari（12），

他们的父亲是一个顶级银行家并且学习了普通话，他认为，中国将会崛起成为一个经济强国。他们的妈妈Vandana Batra说”我们的孩子除了会比别人更有竞争优势，并且他们将了解中国丰富的古代文化和语言，”。

For many actually， it is less about delighting in the language and more about the fact that Mandarin is becoming synonymous with the language of business. “I am learning Mandarin because my parents told me that it is the language of the future to do business，” a student of Oberoi International School told Lu Kong， his Mandarin instructor. The school is offering Mandarin as an after-school activity for students upwards of Class III. “We have started offering Mandarin from this year and the response has been fine，” said principal Vladimir Kuskovski.

许多事实显示，普通话成为商业语言并且并得越来也收人喜爱。一位学生告诉路Oberoi香港国际学校的他的普通话导师：”我学习普通话，因为我的父母告诉我，它是未来的商业语言，”。学校提供汉语普通话作为课外活动的学生超过三类。弗拉迪米尔校长kuskovski说“我们已经开始提供普通话 并且今年的反应一直很好”。
