  经济学人:《梦想者》书评:印度青年的美梦与噩梦(2)

  Book Review: Young people in India
  书评：印度青年

  Dreams and nightmares
  美梦与噩梦

  How did this politics of anger go global?A clue can be found in the structure of this book."Dreamers" begins and ends with stories of young Indians deploying assets they acquired from the West against credulous Americans: content-free listicles and call-centre databases.
  译文
  这种愤怒政治是如何蔓延全球的呢？在此书的结构中可以发现一条线索。《梦想家》的开头和结尾都是印度青年用他们从西方国家获得的资产对付容易上当受骗的美国人的故事：无关上下文的条列式文章以及围绕中心思想的数据。

  Silicon Valley's social-media platforms feature throughout as the foundation of young Indian'social lives.They spend their leisure time staring into their phones.The part this technology has played in the rise of populism in the West has been much discussed.That its spread in other parts of the world has been coterminous with that of smart phones and internet connections is noted less frequently.
  译文
  来自硅谷的社交媒体平台是印度青年社交生活的基础。他们的休闲时间都盯着手机了。社交媒体技术在西方民粹主义兴起中所扮演的角色已引起热议。这种技术在世界其他地方的传播与智能手机联网密不可分，这一点常常被忽视。

  Ms Poonam offers empirical, if anecdotal, evidence of that overlap.She does not dwell on statistics.But what "Dreamers" lacks in citations of official data it makes up for through its Hindi speaking author's ability to draw out her subjects'inner thoughts.The picture she paints is impressionistic.It is also alarming.If young Indians really are changing the world, it may not be for the better.
  译文
  普那姆女士提供了与此重合的经验性的，甚至有可能是传闻性证据。普那姆并未详述统计数字。《梦想家》缺乏官方数据引文，但这位讲印地语的作者以其能力刻画出《梦想家》所述人物的内心想法，以此弥补这种缺乏。她“画”的这幅画富有印象派风格。也令人警醒。如果印度年轻人真的在改变世界，可能再好不过了。

  注释
  1.draw out 延长; 拉抻
  She includes recommendations on how to control unruly members, draw out those who are too timid to speak and steer the conversation away from know-it-alls who try to tell other participants what to do.
  她提出了一些建议，比如如何控制不守规矩的会员，如何吸引那些胆小不愿说话的人，并引导谈话远离那些试图告诉其他参与者该做什么的知识中心。来源于《WSJ》
