||1:Indians hear such criticisms less often because Mr Modi has cowed the press, showering bounty on flatterers while starving, controlling and bullying critics.||2:He himself appears only at major events.||3:He has also suborned respected government institutions, hounding the boss of the central bank from office, for example, as well as loosing tax collectors on political opponents, packing state universities with ideologues and cocking a snook at rules meant to insulate the army from politics.

||1:印度人很少听到这样的批评，因为莫迪恐吓了媒体，对拍马屁的人慷慨大方，而对批评人士吝啬有加、大力控制、恃强凌弱。||2:他本人只在重大活动中露面。||3:他还收买了有威望的政府机构，比如迫使央行行长离职，对政敌放松税收，在州立大学塞满空想家，还蔑视旨在隔离军队和政治的规定。

||1:Cambodia’s strongman, Hun Sen, is known to cast an envious eye at an unlikely role model: Singapore.||2:There, the ruling People’s Action Party has been in power even longer than his own Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).||3:And it has managed this without resorting to the thuggery and coups that have ensured the CPP’s grip.||4:Part of the PAP’s secret is its use of the law.||5:Strict defamation and contempt-of-court laws inherited from the British were invoked against foreign critics and domestic opponents, forcing some into bankruptcy.||6:Lee Kuan Yew, the founding prime minister, whose son now holds that job, justified this as necessary to protect Singapore’s leaders’ reputations, rather than as a way of hounding the opposition.||7:But it had the same effect.

||1:众所周知，柬埔寨政治强人洪森非常羡慕一位可能不是榜样的榜样：新加坡。||2:新加坡的执政党人民行动党比洪森的柬埔寨人民党掌权时间更久。||3:而且人民行动党并不依靠人民党那套为抓紧政权所施展的阴谋与政变。||4:法律就是人民党的一种秘密武器。||5:严苛的诽谤与藐视法庭法源自英国，被用来打击外国批评家与国内反对派，其中有些人因此破产。||6:首任总理李光耀认为这能保护新加坡领导人的名誉，而不是用来追击反对派。||7:其实效果都一样。

Pundits are asking: is Rick Perry ready? When asked, prominent Republicans advising Mr Perry offer warm words: they call him “energised” and “intellectually curious”. The difference from 2011 is “night and day”, says one. The governor will make a final decision next spring. In an unexpected twist, he was recently indicted for abuse of power, after leaning on an Austin prosecutor to resign after her arrest for drunk-driving.|| His indictment (which even some liberal jurists think looks like the hounding of a governor for doing his job) will either go away or stop him dead.|| Time will tell if he is up to a fresh run, but that is the wrong question. A better one is: what does Mr Perry stand for?

1:专家询问：里克·佩里准备好了吗？||2:当问到这个问题时，杰出的共和党员建议佩里言辞热烈一些：他们称他是“精力充沛”以及“求知好学”的人。||3:某位专家称他与2011年那时已经不可“同日而语”。||4:州长在来年春天将会做出最终决定。||5:在一名奥斯丁检察官因酗酒被捕后，他逼迫她辞职，意料之外的是，最近他因此被控告滥用职权。||6:对他的控告（即使一些仁慈的法学家也认为这看起来是州长被迫行使职权）要么会沉寂，要么就会使他止步。||7:时间将会证明他是否能够胜任一场新选举，但这个问题是错误的。||8:更好的问题是：佩里代表了什么？
