yìn dù印度běn lái本来xiǎng想zài在měi guó美国hé和bié de别的guó jiā国家zhī jiān之间bǎo chí保持píng héng平衡,dàn但xiàn zài现在yuè lái yuè越来越kào jìn靠近měi guó美国,kě可měi guó美国hái shì还是jué de觉得zhè这hái还bù gòu不够。

India originally wanted to keep a balance between the United States and other countries, but now it is getting closer and closer to the United States, and the United States still thinks that is not enough.

zuì jìn最近,měi guó美国bǎ把zhàn lüè战略zhòng diǎn重点gèng更duō多fàng huí放回tài píng yáng太平洋,yìn dù yáng印度洋de的zhòng yào xìng重要性xià jiàng下降。

Recently, the United States has shifted more of its strategic focus back to the Pacific, and the importance of the Indian Ocean has declined.

zhè这shuō míng说明zài在měi guó美国yǎn lǐ眼里,yìn dù印度bú shì不是zuì最zhòng yào重要de的huǒ bàn伙伴,měi guó美国gèng更guān xīn关心zhōng guó中国、bā jī sī tǎn巴基斯坦,hái yǒu还有tài píng yáng太平洋dì qū地区de的ān quán安全。

This shows that in the eyes of the United States, India is not the most important partner; the United States cares more about China, Pakistan, and security in the Pacific region.

kě shì可是,yìn dù印度hái shì还是jì xù继续pèi hé配合měi guó美国。

But India still continues to cooperate with the United States.

měi guó美国yāo qiú要求yìn dù印度shǎo少mǎi买é luó sī俄罗斯pián yi便宜shí yóu石油,yìn dù印度zhào zuò照做le了;hòu lái后来měi guó美国yòu又tóng yì同意yìn dù印度zài再mǎi买。

The United States asked India to buy less cheap Russian oil, and India did so; later, the United States agreed that India could buy it again.

měi guó美国hái还duì对yìn dù印度shāng pǐn商品jiā加hěn很gāo高de的guān shuì关税,yìn dù印度què却dā yìng答应wèi lái未来jǐ nián几年zài在měi guó美国tóu zī投资hěn很duō多qián钱。

The United States also imposed very high tariffs on Indian goods, but India agreed to invest a lot of money in the United States over the next few years.

yǐ qián以前,yìn dù印度yě也yīn wèi因为měi guó美国yā lì压力,jiǎn shǎo减少le了hé和yī lǎng伊朗de的zhòng yào重要hé zuò合作。

In the past, India also reduced important cooperation with Iran because of pressure from the United States.

yǔ cǐ tóng shí与此同时,měi guó美国yòu又jiā qiáng加强le了hé和bā jī sī tǎn巴基斯坦de的guān xì关系,bǎ把bā jī sī tǎn巴基斯坦kàn chéng看成zhōng dōng中东hé和zhōng yà中亚zhèng cè政策lǐ里de的zhòng yào重要huǒ bàn伙伴。

At the same time, the United States strengthened its relationship with Pakistan and regarded Pakistan as an important partner in its Middle East and Central Asia policies.

zhè yàng yī lái这样一来,yìn dù印度xiǎng想tōng guò通过kào jìn靠近měi guó美国lái来dé dào得到gèng更duō多zhī chí支持,dàn但jié guǒ结果bìng并bù不lǐ xiǎng理想。

In this way, India hoped to gain more support by moving closer to the United States, but the result was not ideal.

yìn dù印度yī biān一边fù chū付出hěn duō很多,yī biān一边dé dào得到de的huí bào回报què却hěn shǎo很少,zhè这yě也ràng让tā它yì zhí一直qiáng diào强调de的“dú lì独立wài jiāo外交”kàn qǐ lái看起来yuè lái yuè越来越nán难shí xiàn实现。

India is making many sacrifices but receiving very little in return, which also makes its long-emphasized “independent diplomacy” seem increasingly difficult to achieve.
