新奇事件簿 纳伦德拉·莫迪对庙宇说不（在线收听）

A temple that was built and named to honour India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi might have to be renamed.Supporters of India's leader had hoped to inaugurate the Narendra Modi Temple on Sunday in the leader's home state of Gujurat, but they have had to abandon the idea due to Mr Modi's opposition to it. The leader was said to have been horrified by the idea of a temple in his name. His supporters have already unveiled astatue of Modi, which has him in a seated position under the symbol of his political party the BJP. Modi tweeted: "I was appalled. This is shocking and against India's great traditions. Building such temples is not what our culture teaches us."

为了纪念印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪，人们把这座新建成的庙宇以他的名字命名，而现在人们或许会对它进行重新命名。支持者希望周日在莫迪的家乡古吉拉特宣布莫迪庙宇的诞生，但是由于莫迪先生的反对，这一做法被迫取消了。据说莫迪对用它名字命名庙宇这一想法感到害怕。他的拥护者已经为他设立了莫迪雕像，这是一尊坐像，上面标有其政党印度人民党的标致。莫迪在推特中写到：“我感到非常惊讶。这太不可思议了，这违背了印度的悠久传统。建造这样的庙宇并不是文化所教授我们的。

There is now a discussion going on regarding what to do with the temple and statue. Some supporters have suggested replacing the statue of Mr Modi with the figure of a Hindu god. Others insist Modi's statue remains as the leader is still worthy of being honoured. Paresh Rawal, an edible oil trader who donated the land for the temple, said: "We love Modi and worship him because he is the finest leader we have ever had." Another supporter, Ramesh Undhad, told the AFP news agency: "We believe he is an incarnation of God as after he became chief minister of Gujarat, things changed for the better." Modi suggested people should use their time and resources in working towards a cleaner India.

对于庙宇和雕像的话题引起了人们的讨论。许多支持者建议把莫迪的雕像换成印度上帝的雕像。还有人坚持保留莫迪的雕像，他们认为莫迪值得人们尊敬。帕莱什·拉瓦尔是一名做食用油的商人，他将这块地捐献出来建庙宇，他说：“我们热爱莫迪，尊重他，因为他是我所见过的最伟大的领导人。”另一名支持者拉梅什·哈德向法新社说：“我们相信就在他成为古吉拉特的首席部长时，他成为了上帝的化身，事情变得越来越顺利。”莫迪认为人们应该利用自己的时间和资源来建造一个更加清洁的印度。
