1. Every year, on Independence Day, our Prime Minister Nehru spoke of the benefits of science and technology. 每年的独立日,我们的总理尼赫鲁都要讲一讲科学技术的好处。
2. But few foreign graduates came home to "pay their pledge", as Nehru had put it. 但是只有寥寥无几的海外留学生像尼赫鲁所说的那样学成后回国"履行他们的诺言"。
3. Our leaders saw parallels to the independence movement founded by people like Nehru and Gandhi who, after absorbing Western political thought at institutions like Eton and Oxford, returned home to serve their native land. 我们的领导人看到了与诸如尼赫鲁和甘地这样的人所发起的独立运动类似的情况:他们在伊顿和牛津这样的学府里吸收了西方的政治思想后,就回来报效自己的祖国。
