3. All Indians live in extended joint families.
3、所有印度人都是数代同堂,一起生活。
Blame it on the numerous nonsensical Saas-Bahu Serials, the general conception of a huge Indian joint family living under a single roof is a bit exaggerated and misplaced.
这种谬传要归咎于众多荒谬的“婆婆与媳妇”(印度电视剧名,译者注)系列电视剧,普遍认为的印度人数代同堂生活在同一个屋檐之下其实是有些夸大和误传。
4. Arranged marriages happen overnight with the couple not knowing each other.
4、印度包办婚姻现象严重,夫妻间甚至还未认识就结婚。
Almost every arranged marriage inIndiais preceded by an extended period of informal 'dates' (meetings) between the couple to evaluate each other and their prospective relationship.
在印度,几乎所有的包办婚姻之前,男女双方都会有数次非正式“约会”(见面),对彼此以及彼此未来的关系进行评估。
