Hundreds of people had gathered to honour India’s favourite fruit. Braving(勇敢面对) the heat in Delhi’s Lodhi Gardens, a rapper riffed on(即兴发挥（某话题）) the double meaning of aam, the Hindi word for both mango and common, as in common man. People dressed in mango-themed outfits were lectured by a mango farmer. Finally, the party, the fifth to be organised by an enthusiast named Ravinder Singh, descended into the mass munching of 120kg of the stuff.(最终，这场由拉文德·辛格组织的第五次派对，演变成集体大嚼120公斤芒果的盛宴。)
数百人聚集在一起，向印度最受欢迎的水果致敬。在德里洛迪花园的酷热中，一位说唱歌手即兴发挥了“aam”的双关含义——这个词在印地语中既指芒果，也指普通人（如“common man”）。穿着芒果主题服装的人们听一位芒果农夫的讲解。最后，这场由一位名叫拉文德·辛格的爱好者组织的第五次派对，演变成了一场集体大嚼120公斤芒果的盛宴。
Japan won’t be having any, though. It has banned fresh mango imports from India, after the world’s biggest producer failed its pest-control checks. India flunks(不及格，失败) a lot of such tests. Its spices, seafood and rice all face restrictions, bans and extra inspections in America, Europe and Asia. The EU has issued 365 alerts against various Indian food products in the past two years. The problem begins on farms, where runaway pesticide use and banned chemicals are common and good pest control is not.(问题始于农场，在那里失控的农药使用和禁用化学品很常见，而良好的虫害控制却不存在。) Corruption and lax(松懈的，不严格的) monitoring mean that pesticides, drug residues and microbial bugs(微生物病菌) like salmonella then travel smoothly up the supply chain(顺利沿供应链传播).
不过日本是不会吃到的。日本已禁止从印度进口新鲜芒果，原因是这个全球最大的芒果生产国未能通过虫害检查。印度在类似检验中经常不及格。其香料、海鲜和大米在美国、欧洲和亚洲都面临限制、禁令和额外检查。欧盟在过去两年里对印度各类食品发出了365次警报。问题始于农场，在那里，失控的农药使用和禁用化学品很常见，而良好的虫害控制却不存在。腐败和松懈的监管意味着，农药、药物残留和沙门氏菌等微生物病菌便顺利沿供应链传播。
Bad food is bad for business. A single cargo container of spices can be worth over $100,000, so rejection(拒绝，拒收) by inspectors hurts. Harder to measure are(更难衡量的是) reputational hits(声誉打击) and extra inspection costs in the future. The EU already lab-tests 20-50% of all Indian chilli and curry-leaf shipments—at the producers’ expense.
劣质食品对生意有害。一个集装箱的香料价值可超过10万美元，因此被检验人员拒收会造成损失。更难衡量的是未来的声誉打击和额外检验成本。欧盟已经对20%-50%的印度辣椒和咖喱叶货物进行实验室检测——费用由生产者承担。
