Topic 1: Indian Bride Shuts Down Wedding After Groom Fails Her Math Test

An Indian bride canceled her wedding after her groom recited the multiplication table of two incorrectly. 一位印度新娘因為新郎背錯 2 的乘法表，當場取消婚禮。

A bride and groom who wish to remain unidentified were supposed to have the wedding for their arranged marriage on May 1 in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. 不願透露姓名的新娘和新郎本應於 5 月 1 日在印度北方邦舉行婚禮，這是一樁包辦婚姻。
Skeptical of her future husband's educational background, the bride decided to test his knowledge during the ceremony. 新娘懷疑未來丈夫的教育背景，因此決定在婚禮上測試他的知識。

When he failed to recite the multiplication table of two, the bride left, "saying that she could not marry someone who did not know basic math," reported INQUIRER.net. 據「菲律賓每日問訊者報」網站報導，當他背不出 2 的乘法表時，新娘轉身離開了，「說她不能嫁給一個連基礎數學都不懂的人。」

The bride's cousin stated that the groom's family did not inform them of his lack of education, adding that the bride was "brave" for leaving the wedding venue. 新娘的表妹說，男方家庭沒有告知新郎教育程度低的事實，並補充道，新娘離開婚禮現場的做法「很勇敢」。
The two families came to a compromise which included returning all gifts and jewelry to the appropriate parties. 這兩個家庭達成妥協，包括同意退還所有的禮物和珠寶給對方。

Topic 2: India's 'Angry Brides' game wages war on dowry｜印度「憤怒新娘」遊戲向嫁妝陋習宣戰

An online game in India called "Angry Brides" which seeks to highlight the problem of illegal dowry demands has attracted more than 270,000 fans. 印度一款名為「憤怒新娘」的線上遊戲，旨在凸顯非法索取嫁妝帶來的問題，吸引了逾 27 萬名粉絲。

The game by online matchmaker shaadi.com — inspired by the hugely popular "Angry Birds" game — sees players attack prospective grooms greedy for dowry with a variety of weapons, from a brick-red stiletto to a broomstick. 這款遊戲由婚友網站「Shaadi.com」推出，靈感來自廣受歡迎的「憤怒鳥」遊戲，玩家可使用從磚紅色細高跟鞋到帚柄等各式武器來攻擊貪求嫁妝的準新郎。

The three grooms — an engineer, a doctor and a pilot — dodge the attacks while demanding dowries starting at 1.5 million rupees. Each time a player hits a groom, he or she wins money towards a virtual anti-dowry fund. 遊戲中的 3 位新郎分別是工程師、醫生和飛行員。他們一邊索求 150 萬盧比起跳的嫁妝，一邊躲避著玩家的進攻。玩家每擊中新郎一次，他或她就會贏得一筆虛擬的反嫁妝資金。

The game, available as a free application on Facebook, has already attracted more than 272,000 "likes." 這款遊戲在臉書上是一款免費應用程式，已吸引了超過 27 萬 2000 人按「讚」。

Paying and accepting a dowry in India has been illegal since 1961, but the centuries-old tradition of the bride's parents presenting gifts of cash, clothes, jewellery, even appliances to the groom's family remains strong. 從 1961 年至今，收送嫁妝在印度都是違法的，但是新娘的父母向新郎家庭贈送現金、衣服、珠寶甚至器具等禮物的傳統已有幾世紀之久，至今依然盛行。

Demands for dowry often persist well past the wedding ceremonies, and in the worst cases, brides are tortured and even murdered if they or their parents do not comply. 索取嫁妝的情況就算在婚禮後也揮之不去，在最壞的情況下，如果新娘或她們的父母不給嫁妝，新娘就會受到折磨甚至被謀殺。

Topic 3: Toxic air in India linked to large number of miscarriages

Toxic air in India and other South Asian countries could be causing large numbers of miscarriages and stillbirths, scientists said. 科學家說，印度和其他南亞國家的有毒性空氣，可能正造成大量的流產和死胎案例。

A study in The Lancet medical journal estimated nearly 350,000 pregnancy losses a year in South Asia were linked to high pollution levels. 「刺胳針」醫學期刊一份研究估計，南亞 1 年有將近 35 萬起流產案例與高污染值有關聯。

"Our findings ... (provide) further justification for urgent action to tackle dangerous levels of pollution," lead author Tao Xue of Peking University said in a statement. 報告第一作者北京大學的薛濤在聲明中說，「我們的發現…提供
