《English Translation》

小潘: Teacher Liu, I saw the news saying that Indian scholars feel they know too little about China.
刘娜: Yes, they worry that without enough Chinese language skills, it’s hard to truly study China.
小潘: The article said China is like a mirror, allowing India to learn development experiences.
刘娜: That’s right. For example, poverty reduction, industrial development, and technological innovation can all provide useful lessons.
小潘: If they only look at military or trade data, they’ll miss many important aspects.
刘娜: Exactly. That’s why they need more people who know Chinese, who can read original works and understand history and society.
小潘: I think this is similar to my goal of learning Chinese—I hope to become a bridge for cultural exchange in the future.
刘娜: Very good. Your efforts show that language and understanding are key to connecting the two countries.
