印度是一个不太有魅力的国家。它的居民们毫无美感。他们不经商,彼此之间没什么联系,也不互相往来。他们没什么个性,没有能力,待人不讲礼貌,还没有男子气概。他们的手工艺制品和艺术作品,毫无顺序,不讲对称,既不横平,也不竖直。他们既没有好的马匹、狗,也没有好的……
Hindustan is a country of few charms. Its people have no good looks; of social intercourse, paying and receiving visits there is none; of genius and capacity none; of manners none; in handicraft and work, there is no form or symmetry, method or quality.
There are no good horses, no good dogs, no grapes, musk melons or first-rate fruits, no ice or cold water, nor bread or cooked food in bazaars; no hammams, no colleges, no candles, torches or candlesticks.
