印度國內(nèi)有多少種語言？最常用的語言是什么
 
來聽今天的講解:
 
A: Nitya, in the U.S. we have many different parts of the country and people are very different. What about India? Are the people very different in different regions?
 
妮提亞，我們美國有許多不同的地區(qū)，在不同地區(qū)生活的人也有所不同。那印度的情況呢？人們會(huì)因?yàn)榫幼≡诓煌牡貐^(qū)而有所不同嗎？
 
B: Yeah, I like, I think that in India the different parts, they have totally different languages, that's sometimes it's a problem because somebody who comes for a travel, for traveling or something in the northern part of India, from South, it's really difficult for them to manage the language, because though are national language is Hindi, and also like, the constitutional national language is English, but still, I mean, India is really huge, people coming from South, there are some people like who do, who do understand Hindi to some extent, but there are many people who don't understand at all.
 
會(huì)，印度不同地區(qū)的語言完全不同，這有時(shí)會(huì)成為問題，如果印度南部的人去印度北部旅行，那他們很難解決語言問題，雖然官方語言是印地語，而且憲法規(guī)定英語也是官方語言，但是由于印度太大了，所以從南部來的人，可能有些人知道一些印地語，但是大部分人完全不懂印地語。
 
A: Really, they don't speak Hindi?
 
是嗎？他們不說印地語嗎？
 
B: Yeah, because we have 33 national languages. (Wow) so,
 
對(duì)，因?yàn)槲覀冇?3種官方語言。（哇）
 
A: You have 33?
 
你們有33種官方語言？
 
B: 33, and like if you take on the whole, it's 345 or something.
 
對(duì)，33種，如果要統(tǒng)計(jì)所有語言的話，大概有345種。
 
A: Man, that's incredible.
 
天哪，這太不可思議了。
 
B: Yeah, and I think that, I think that every child from India should be able to speak around two to three languages, basically.
 
對(duì)，我認(rèn)為印度每個(gè)孩子都能說兩三種語言。
 
A: What are the most common languages that people speak in India?
 
那印度人最常用的語言是什么？
 
B: I think Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, I think I cannot say common. Every state, every like, we have 27 states in India. Every state has it own language. Our general language.
 
我認(rèn)為是印地語、古吉拉特語和旁遮普語，不過我的意見并不能代表常用。每個(gè)邦……印度有27個(gè)邦。每個(gè)邦都有自己的語言，有自己的通用語言。
 
A: 27 different general languages. (Yeah) That's what divides the country is the languages?
 
27種通用語言。（對(duì)）那印度是按語言劃分的區(qū)域嗎？
 
B: No, it's divided by the states, I mean different states we call different parts of it, and also by the language. Yep.
 
不是，是按邦劃分的，我是說按邦來劃分區(qū)域，當(dāng)然也按語言劃分。對(duì)。
 
A: Wow, that's pretty amazing. So you said Punjabi.
 
哇，這太驚人了。那你是說旁遮普語嗎？
 
B: Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Malayalam. (Wow) Huge, yeah.
 
我會(huì)說旁遮普語、古吉拉特語、泰米爾語、馬拉雅拉姆語等等。（哇）對(duì)，我會(huì)很多語言。
 
A: That's pretty amazing. How many languages do you speak?
 
這太驚人了。你能說幾種語言？
 
B: Six.
 
6種。
 
A: Six.
 
6種。
 
B: Yep.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: What do you speak?
 
你都會(huì)說什么語言？
 
B: Ok, I can speak Hindi. I can speak Punjabi a little bit, and I can understand the whole of it all, and I can speak Tamil. I can speak Malayalam, because Malayalam is my mother's language. She's from southern part of India. My dad is from the north part of India and I speak Hindi. I understand Telugu, and I guess Marathi also a little bit.
 
嗯，我會(huì)說印地語。我聽得懂旁遮普語，但只會(huì)說一點(diǎn)兒，我還會(huì)說泰米爾語。因?yàn)槲覌寢層民R拉雅拉姆語，所以我也會(huì)馬拉雅拉姆語。我媽媽來自印度南部。我爸爸來自印度北部，所以我會(huì)說印地語。我可以理解泰盧固語，還有馬拉塔語我也會(huì)一點(diǎn)兒。
 
A: Wow, and that's not even including English or Japanese.
 
哇，這還不包括英語和日語。
 
B: Yeah, OK, and then you include English and Japanese and that.
 
對(duì)，我還會(huì)英語和日語。
 
A: That's amazing. OK, well, thanks Nitya.
 
太不可思議了。好，謝謝你，妮提亞。
