美印结束17年芒果贸易争端

In a symbolic move to boost low levels of Indo-US bilateral trade, the first batch of Indian mangoes are due to arrive in the US this weekend, ending a 17-year old trade dispute between the two countries.
首批印度芒果将于本周末运抵美国，从而结束两国在芒果进口问题上长达17年之久的贸易争端。这项具有象征意义的举措，旨在促进两国之间目前处于较低水平的双边贸易。
After months of negotiations, the US has agreed to import Indian mangoes for the first time after clearing concerns about insect importation.
经过数月的谈判，在消除印度芒果可能携带昆虫的担忧之后，美国首次同意进口印度芒果。
In exchange for mangoes, India is considering relaxing restrictions to allow the import of the Harley-Davidson motorcycles, currently barred from India because of emissions standards and high taxes.
作为出口芒果的交换条件，印度正考虑放宽限制，允许进口哈雷-戴维森(Harley-Davidson)摩托车。目前，印度利用排放标准和高税收等手段，禁止该品牌摩托车的进口。
This mango-for-motorcycles diplomacy reflects efforts to double bilateral trade between India and the US within the next three years from about $30bn currently. By comparison, trade between the US and China amounts to about $350bn.
这一“芒果换摩托车”的外交策略反映出，印度与美国试图在未来3年内将双边贸易额提高一倍。目前，印度与美国的贸易额约为300亿美元，而美国与中国的贸易额约为3500亿美元。
