SANTIAGO – Forty years ago, the Brazilian economist Edmar Bacha named his country Belindia: a combination of prosperous and modern Belgium and poor and backward India. In last Sunday’s presidential election, according to many observers, the Indian part of Brazil voted for the incumbent, President Dilma Rousseff, and the Belgian part voted for the social democrat Aécio Neves.
圣地亚哥—四十年前，巴西经济学家埃德马尔·巴查（Edmar Bacha）将他的祖国称为“比利印度”：繁荣而现代的比利时和贫穷而落后的印度的合体。很多观察者看来，在上周日的总统选举中，巴西的印度部分支持现任总统迪尔马·罗塞夫，而比利时部分支持社会民主党人艾西奥·尼维斯（Aécio Neves）。印度比比利时大，所以罗塞夫赢了。
