        It was an everyday morning in the housing colony and the sabziwalla was doing his rounds. A housewife selected a sizeable quantity of vegetables from him, and, without asking him what she owed him, handed over 20, which was clearly inadequate payment for her purchases. The sabziwalla accepted this token payment without protest.
The housewife's tenant — a young man from China — came out and also bought some vegetables, paying the right price for them. The housewife ordered the vendor to return the money and said to her tenant: "Just give him 10 or 20 rupees. I am the wife of a managing committee member and he dare not charge me the full price, or he'll be banned from coming into the colony. As my tenant, you have the same privilege." The tenant waited till landlady had gone into the house, then he paid the vegetable seller the full amount.
      对于sabziwalla来说，这又是一个普通的清晨。在一个住宅小区里，一个家庭主妇在他那挑了不少蔬菜，根本没问价钱，就递给他20卢比，这些钱显然不够买下这些菜。sabziwalla没有申辩，默默的收下了钱。
       这位妇人的租客是一位来自中国的年轻人，恰巧他也出来买菜，给了小贩们合适的价钱。妇人马上命令小贩把钱还给中国人，然后她对中国人说：“给他10或者20卢比就够了，我老公是管理委员会的人，他不敢收足我的菜钱的，否则他以后就不能来这儿摆摊了。你是我的租客，一样能享有这种特权。”这名中国租客一直等到女房东回家，然后悄悄的把钱补给了菜贩。
       That small incident might help partly to explain a very big question: Why is it that China is so far ahead of India in almost all fields? The most commonly cited reason for China's lead over India is that China as a totalitarian state is made to march forward to the same drumbeat or face the consequences, whereas India enjoys a chalta-hai democracy, in which for every one step forward we take, we seem to go three steps sideways. Dictatorships tend to be, at least outwardly, single-minded and more disciplined; democracies, being diverse, are often divided as to their goals.

Fair enough. But there could be another, equally fundamental reason why India remains so far behind China. And that reason — illustrated by the anecdote about the wife of the managing committee member taking it as her right to shortchange the sabziwalla — is entrenched and everyday corruption.

这件小事也可以从侧面来解释一个大问题：为什么中国几乎在所有领域都大大的领先印度？最常见的说法是，在极权主义国家往往可以集中力量办大事或者集中力量面对后果，而印度则沉浸在得过且过的民主制度中，别人每走一步，我们似乎要走三步才能跟上。独裁政权倾向于，至少表面上看来更有决心和纪律性；而民主制度，看似多样化，反而经常对他们自己的目标产生分歧。

这很公平。不过还有另一个根本原因造成了印度远远落后于中国。这个根本原因就是那个管理委员会委员的老婆向菜贩行使她的特权，这是根深蒂固的和天天在印度上演的贪污腐败。

All of us express outrage at the corruption of our politicians and bureaucrats. But one way or the other, all of us are implicated in either giving or taking graft, of one form or another. Bribery and corruption have become the lubricants of the wheels and deals of everyday living, from awarding a government contract, buying defence equipment to protect the country, selecting a sports team to represent the nation, or buying one's daily vegetables.

Of course, China also has its share of corruption, as shown by the recent much-publicised trial of Bo Xilai, an eminent political figure. But perhaps in China corruption hasn't become a routine reflex, performed almost automatically and without thinking, as it seems to have become in India.

It's like breathing. You don't have to think before you breathe; breathing happens naturally. In India bribery has become a fact of nature like breathing. This common air of corruption that we breathe infects us all, and affects our everyday relationships with others, from the babu we have to bribe to get our work done to the sabziwalla we shortchange through the misuse of authority.

我们所有人都对贪官污吏们深恶痛绝。但尽管如此，我们都参与到腐败当中，无论是行贿或者自己贪污，只是换了一种形式而已。贪污和行贿就像是车轮的润滑剂，并且每天都在生活中上演，比如获取政府合同，购买国外武器装备，选择国家运动队员或者是在买菜的时候。

当然了，在中国也有贪污腐败，就像最近被大肆宣传的bo案，他是一个著名的政治家。但是在中国，贪污腐败可能还没有形成一种条件反射。在印度，人们想都不想，自然而然的去进行贪污。

这就像呼吸一样。在呼吸的时候你根本不用思考；呼吸就是很自然的动作。在印度，行贿就像呼吸一样的自然而然。就像菜贩要通过行贿才能工作下去，我们通过滥用职权来获得贿赂，这种贪腐的风气影响了我们所有人，也影响了我们每天与他人的人际关系。

All-pervasive corruption corrodes the unwritten contract, the mutual trust on which society is based. By cheating you today, i ensure that you'll cheat me tomorrow, or whenever you have the chance. In the end everyone loses, because today's cheater is tomorrow's cheated, and vice versa.
Advantage China, disadvantage India.

无孔不入的贪污腐败已经腐蚀了我们社会的互信基础。今天我骗了你，我保证你下次有机会的时候也会来骗我。最后大家都输了，因为今天的骗子在明天会被骗，反之亦然。

中国的优势，印度的劣势。
