In some parts of the country, like in the relatively wealthy states of Haryana and Punjab, families have been known to buy brides from poorer states.

在某些地区，比如相对富裕的哈里亚纳邦和旁遮普邦，从比较贫困的邦买新娘已经成为普遍现象。

In Haryana , Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, incautious lovers, especially young women, are quite often murdered by disapproving male relatives.

哈里亚纳邦，旁遮普邦，北方邦和拉贾斯坦邦，选择爱人不慎重，尤其是年轻的女人，经常由不赞成这门婚事的男性亲戚谋杀。

Let me describe Haryana a little bit to you.

让我先简单介绍下Haryana省的情况。

Haryana is a state which has 30 million people.

Haryana省有约三千万人口，

So today, when you go to a school in Haryana, things look different.

所以现在你去Haryana省的任何一所学校，情况都跟过去大不相同了。

We met 32 of them in a village of less than 1,000 people in the northeastern state of Haryana.

我们在西北的哈里亚那邦一个不足千人的村子里遇见了32位这样的新娘。

And we see teachers all over Haryana using lots of innovative things to be able to teach students.

我们后来看到Haryana省的老师们想出了各种创新的方法来教育学生。

She was, at that time, the head of the Department of School Education in a state called Haryana in India.

她当时是印度Haryana省基础教育厅的厅长。

When people talk about systemic, large-scale change, they talk about periods of 7 years and 10 years. But not in Haryana.

当人们谈论大规模的、系统性的改革时，一般说的是7到10年为一个周期。但是Haryana要快得多。
