印度人在上海坐高铁，被眼前这一切彻底震惊了

原文作者叫Navneet Kumar Bakshi，是被派到中国来工作的印度人，之前有在欧美各国旅行的经验，而且从语气中可看出他不是婆罗门。在中国的看到的现代化场景令他感到极其震撼，当他向印度人描述时又苦于无法用文字描述出自己所看到的一切，于是决定买一个相机，用照片告诉印度人在中国看到的令他震撼的那一切。。。

他在博客中记录了在中国的所见所闻，并拍摄了大量图片，图文并茂，写的也很有意思。。。这是其中的一篇博客，记述的是Navneet从上海去武汉乘坐高铁的经历和感受。。。

I started writing this blog in July 2010...and forgot about it

This time I decided to go to Wuhan by train. My wife is around these days so I thought it will give us a good view of Interior China. We started early in the morning to catch the train at 0648 Hrs. I have mentioned the time to impress upon the accuracy of time schedule. Needless to say I was more than impressed when the train started and was impressed further when it reached the destination on time accurate to the second. Mist sat over the city like whispers on the lips and as the cab ran through the shrouded city, it unfolded dreamily like a story to a drowsy kid. （印度人诗兴大发）

第一段说他跟老婆要去武汉出差顺便玩玩，以及对高铁的赞美，买的票是早上6：48的高铁票，他说中国人做事认真，高铁出发和到达的时间能精确到秒。。。。

Clean, well maitained, free of flaws, miles and miles of spotless termac carpet.

Shanghai Railway Station was the first shock that awaited me.

干净，状况良好，没有裂纹的，绵延不断的毫无瑕疵的柏油公路。

上海火车站是我路途中第一个让我震惊的事物。

have never seen such a marvellous railway station until now. What I saw was indeed better than any airport I have ever seen. Eventhough seeing spotlessly clean public places is becoming a routine thing for me here at China but cleanliness here left me speechless.

我从未就没有见过如此不可思议的火车站。我看到的这一切确实比我以前看到的任何机场都要好，即使我在中国看到这样的一尘不染的公共场所几乎是例行公事，但是这儿的干净程度还是把我震惊地说不出话来。

The next thing that left me wonder struck was the bullet train. All long distance trains in China run at awesome speed of 250 Kms. and hour and the railway ministery has decided to upgrade them to 350 Kms/hr. Between some cities they are already running at this formidable speed.

下一件让我震惊的是子弹头列车(高铁)，中国所有的长距离列车都能开到250公里每小时，而且官方还决定要升级到350公里每小时，现在在某些城市之间已经能达到这令人敬畏的速度了。

Interior of the train better than Airliner's Business Class

车厢的内部，比飞机的商务舱好多了。

The train started on dot and quickly picked up speed. My eyes glued to the electronic display began to bulge out and throat went dry as I feared that it may not reach an escape velocity and shoot out of the globe. Thankfully the digits stopped rising when the number reached 250 Km/Hr.

火车从零开始加速，我盯着那个显示速度的电子牌，眼珠子都要爆出来了，喉咙也变干了，我担心这火车要是达到了逃逸速度(卫星脱离地球的速度)飞出了地球怎么办?谢天谢地那个数字最后停在了250km/hr。

列车开动后窗外的景色▽

Passing Railway Stations. No hawkers, vendors, Chhole Bathure, No spitting, shitting or urinating and no teary eyed relatives in strength come to see the guests off who are going back.. at last.

路过站台的时候，没有小商小贩，没有随地吐痰，没有随地大小便，没有那些泪眼汪汪来送别的亲属。

After six hours of smooth, comfortable journey and passing hundreds of tunnels and treacherous terrain we landed at Wuhan

在六个小时顺利舒适的旅行，经过了上百个隧洞以及各种崎岖不平的地形之后，我们来到了武汉。

It's not that Shanghai's Railway Station was given a shine or was spruced up for this dignitary's delight even Wuhan's platform was sparkling as can be seen here in the picture. Do we have any airports even which can compare with the size, grandeur, splendor and the upkeep of the stations of even unheard of cities of China. What we hear our ministers say? ' We will make Delhi the best city in the world' Do they know what best means?

这不是上海火车站那种所谓的被装点出来的一尘不染闪闪发光的用来迎接达官贵人的门面工程(印度人一般认为上海是中国的花瓶。。)，这仅仅是武汉的火车站，正如你在照片里看到的一样，一如既往的干净整洁。我们国家有任何一个机场能在规模，气势，豪华尊荣以及日常维护与这些个听都没听过的中国城市的火车站相提并论的吗?我们亲爱的部长们说什么来着：“我们要将德里打造成为世界上最好的城市”知道什么叫做最好吗?
