("印度媒体怀疑噶玛巴的一个原因是说他从未批评过中国，同时北京也没有谴责过噶玛巴。迪比亚什认为这并不应该成为受怀疑的理由。中国在达赖喇嘛1959年流亡后的一段时间也没有公开谴责过达赖喇嘛")

My comment:
(a)
(i) Aruna Asaf Ali
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aruna_Asaf_Ali
(1909-1996; an Indian independence activist)
(ii) For Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, see Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahadur_Shah_Zafar_Marg
((The word Marg is Hindi for road))
(b) The journalish said, "This was the road on which I drove, or was driven, from home to work and back." "Was driven" refers to the fact that he has a driver.
(c) concertina
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertina
(d) masonry (n): "1b: the art, trade, or occupation of a mason
c : work done by a mason"

All definitions are from www.m-w.com.

(e) As I read on, I wondered if the Chinese title was a hyperbole, for I saw no 腐败--just wretched  infrastructure. After all, the English title is a shorthand of

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good,_the_Bad_and_the_Ugly
(The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Italian: Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo) is a 1966 Italian/Spanish epic spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone, starring Clint Eastwood [as "The Good"], Lee Van Cleef [as "The Bad"], and Eli Wallach [as "The Ugly"] in the title roles)

(f) doyen (n; French): "the senior member of a body or group"

Both French noun "doyen" and English noun "dean" share the same root: Late Latin decanus chief of ten, from Greek dekanos, from deka ten.
(g) banana republic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_republic
(As a political science term banana republic is a descriptor first used by the American writer O. Henry in Cabbages and Kings (1904), a book of related short stories derived from his 1896–97 residence in Honduras, where he was hiding from the U.S. law for bank embezzlement in the U.S)
(h) "any official asks for their palm to greased." Obviously "be" is missing; it should be "palm to be greased."
(i) technicolor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technicolor

Quote:

"Technicolor is the trademark for a series of color film processes pioneered by Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation * * * Technicolor was the second major color film process, after Britain's Kinemacolor, and the most widely used color motion picture process in Hollywood from 1922 to 1952. Technicolor became known and celebrated for its saturated levels of color

"The Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation was founded in Boston in 1914 * * * by Herbert Kalmus, Daniel Frost Comstock, and W. Burton Wescott. The 'Tech' in the company's name was inspired by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Kalmus received his undergraduate degree and was later an instructor
