But if the next government again flunks reform, it could be the peepul itself that is smothered.
但如果下一届政府的改革再度无疾而终,那可能就轮到菩提树们被窒息而死了。
The scriptures on the peepul tree leaves are very precious.
写在贝多叶上的经文十分珍贵。
Revered by many Indians, the peepul has a habit of making roomfor itself, poking up through roads, sometimes smothering its rivals.
菩提树是被印度人所尊奉的神树,它喜欢为自己制造更多的生存空间,自顾自的生长而穿过道路,有时还会把它的竞争对手闷死。
