||Yet most Indian cricket fans have perhaps never heard of that venerable English ground. Their enthusiasm is almost for a different game, the glitzy , shorter formats at which India excels.|| Cricket represents for them a different national story: India as a “cricket-crazy nation”, a youthful, patriotic place, bursting with hope and a desire to consume. This is the India that has got Mr Cameron excited for its economic potential; it will take more than appealing to a common history, in which young Indians are uninterested, to win its love. Taking England’s winsome cricket captain, Alastair Cook, on the prime minister’s next trip to Delhi might help.

The effect on Belfast’s economy is chilling. Usually busy shops and restaurants are empty on many evenings, while hotels report that people are cancelling their visits.Northern Ireland’s devolved government has recently been trying to boost its economy by luring tourists and foreign businessmen.|| A glitzy new exhibition centre dedicated to the Titanic (a ship built in Belfast) opened last spring.|| Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness—the country’s unionist first minister and his republican deputy—visited China in November to drum up business and will soon go back.

||1:Glitzy pet superstores, which account for more than a fifth of pet-product sales in America and Canada, barely exist south of the Rio Grande.||2:The most popular outlets are still small, independent pet shops, which retain customers by offering credit.||3:But the superstores will come.||4:And when Latin animal-lovers can buy a full range of food, toys and veterinary services in one place, life could become even more luxurious for Mexico’s privileged pets.

||1:装饰豪华的大型宠物店在美国和加拿大占到宠物产品市场的五分之一以上，却几乎不存在于格兰德河（译者注：美国和墨西哥之间分界的河流）以南的地区。||2:那边最流行的还是独立的小型宠物店，通过提供信贷的方式来留住顾客。||3:但大型的宠物商店还是会来的。||4:并且，等到拉美的动物爱好者能在一个地方买到全套的宠物食品、玩具和兽医服务时，墨西哥养尊处优的宠物们的生活甚至还会更加奢华。
