At a 12-bed hospital deep in Nepal’s Himalayan mountains, Indian Air Force helicopters bring in the casualties of a devastating earthquake that has killed more than 4,000: injured men, women and children plucked from hilltops and inaccessible valleys.

In the capital Kathmandu, Chinese rescuers in red uniforms have been searching for survivors in the rubble. Television footage on Tuesday showed one crew pulling a man from the wreckage of a hotel, carrying him gingerly on a stretcher.

一个12张床的医院坐落在尼泊尔喜马拉雅山区深处，印度空军的直升机运来了地震受伤人员。这场地震夺去了4000多人的生命，受伤的男女和儿童被从山顶和无法进入的山谷中拉出来。

在首都加德满都，中国救援人员穿着红色制服，在瓦砾中搜寻幸存者。周二的电视画面显示，一名救援人员从酒店的废墟拉出一个人，然后小心翼翼地把他放到担架上。

Nepal’s government has struggled in the wake of the country’s worst earthquake in nearly a century, its officials have been largely absent from public view. Not so India and China: both promised rescuers, sniffer dogs, tents and food within hours, winning praise from stranded Nepalis.

“We have no faith in our government, only India and (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi are helping us,” said villager Dhruba Kandel in Dhading. “If it were not for these helicopters, people would be dying on the mountains by the dozens.”

尼泊尔发生了几乎一个世纪以来最严重的地震后，政府一直在努力应对，官员却几乎消失在公众视线中。而印度和中国不然，许下承诺的救援人员，带着搜救犬、帐篷和食物，赢得了滞留尼泊尔人的赞誉。

“我们对我们的政府没有信心，只有印度和（总理）莫迪在帮助我们。”达定的村民Dhruba Kandel说：“要不是这些直升机，很多人会死在山区里。”

以下是《印度时报》读者的评论：

我们现在在看电视，一位尼泊尔人说地震后，印度做出的反应比尼泊尔政府更快。

I am writing from Nepal. I am speaking the voice of Nepalese people. All other countries are donating on Govt to Govt basis. But, India is not only helping Nepal on Govt to Govt basis, but also Govt to people as well as people to people level. The quantity of help on people to people basis is huge. No country can ever match the Indian help to Nepal. Moreover, the reflex that PM Modi exhibited in handling the situation has won the hearts of Nepalese people. India’s initiative was quicker then the initiative of Nepalese Govt itself. It is evidence of love that Modi has in his heart for South Asian people.

我在尼泊尔写下这些话，代表尼泊尔人民发声。

其他国家都是政府对政府之间的捐助，而印度不仅是政府间的，而且是政府对人民以及人民对人民之间的。这种人民对人民之间帮助的规模是巨大的。

任何国家都无法比得上印度对尼泊尔的帮助。

更重要的是，莫迪总理的反应赢得了尼泊尔人民的心。

Please do not call Indian relief efforts as “Aid diplomacy” this is brotherly support.

请别说印度的救援努力是“援助外交”，这可是兄弟般的支持啊

印度政府行动确实非常迅速，值得大家给个赞。

但是没有时间去庆祝，我们得努力救出最后一人

The govt. of India & particularly the PM’s quick response will help a change in the attitude of the Nepalese, who have become pro Chinese & anti Indian in the last two decades.

印度政府特别是莫迪总理的迅速反应，将有助于改变尼泊尔人的态度。

在过去20年里，尼泊尔人变得亲华，变得反印

Hopefully modi also understand the pain of poor farmer committing suicide…….and do something to relief them as well instead of loaning billions to aleeady billionaries hopefully the election loan of bjp is paid soon.

希望莫迪也能理解自杀农民的痛苦

行动起来，救助他们，别把钱贷给亿万富翁。

Titto Tripathy (Jaipur)
Excellent initiative. It is a good sign that the whole world is joining hands to rescue Nepal. Everybody should donate as much as possible.

全世界正联起手来救助尼泊尔，是一个好迹象。

每个人应该尽可能捐款

What the quake affected people of Nepal need is help from any source to mitigate their sufferings. The help may be from friendly India or China. There is no competition in the matter of humanitarian help between India and China.

尼泊尔受地震影响的灾民需要的是来自各方面的帮助，以减轻他们的痛苦。

这一援助也许来自友好的印度，也许来自中国。

在人道主义救助方面，印度和中国不存在竞争。

Om Parkash Puri (Narwana)
India is a friend in need for Nepal, while China is helper in clever diplomacy to Nepal.

印度是尼泊尔的患难之交，而中国是尼泊尔聪明外交的帮手而已。

Indian Nunes (Unknown)
People from Nepal need to take notice of the difference in strategies of countries providing aid. China is doing it to garner political goodwill in South Asia where it has lost lot of ground due to its historically documented lackluster approach while India stand to gain nothing more diplomatically, but is still doing as much as it can on a humanitarian/moral basis.

尼泊尔人民应当注意区别开来那些提供援助的国家的战略。

中国是为了在南亚收获政治善意，而印度不为别的，只是基于人道主义提供尽可能多的帮助。

niraj baua (mumbai)
Politics should be kept out of relief work

政治应该远离救援工作

如果中国不在山下挖隧道修铁路，这次地震也就不会发生了。

这次地震该怪中国。
