NEW DELHI, Nov. 20 — A 40-year border dispute remains unresolved. Tibetan refugees continue to pour across the Himalayas. The memory of India’s bruising military defeat by China in 1962 remains fresh in the minds of a certain generation.
11月20日，新德里讯---- 40年之久的边境争端问题仍未取得进展，西藏难民不断翻越喜马拉雅山涌入印度，1962年印度军队被中国击败的惨痛情景仍在一代人的脑海里记忆犹新。

But as the president of China, Hu Jintao, arrived here Monday night to shore up relations between his nation and India, the territorial disputes were no longer the main focus of their relationship.
但是，在中国主席胡锦涛于周一晚抵达新德里，意欲稳定两国关系之时，领土争端不再是两国关系焦点之所在。

As India and China tend to their flourishing economies and strive to expand their global reach, they increasingly find themselves scrambling for natural resources and political influence around the world. At times these two giants of Asia appear to be linking arms; at times they are in active competition.

在印度和中国在以经济发展为主，努力拓展全球影响力的过程中，两国逐渐发现，他们在各自争夺自然资源和全世界的政治影响力。有时这两个亚洲大国貌似盟友，有时处于积极竞争之中。

But it is not exactly a relationship of equals. India lags behind on virtually every indicator, with the notable exceptions of the size of its software industry and the number of billionaires, in which it is far ahead.

但是，两国关系并不完全平等。事实而言，除了印度的软件业规模和亿万富翁人数这两项指标明显领先中国之外，其他所有指标远远落后于中国。
