　　Indians begin voting in the world's biggest election. More than 800 million people are registered to vote over the next five weeks. That's 100 million more than at the last elections in 2009.

　　印度人开始在全世界最大规模的选举中投票。未来五周，超过8亿人将登记投票，比2009年的上次选举多出1亿人。

　　(SOUNDBITE) (Bengali) SUSMITA DAS, A FIRST TIME VOTER, SAYING: "I am feeling great as I am voting for the first time. I came early to beat the rush at the polling booth, but as you can see there are already quite a few people gathered here."

　　首次参加投票的SUSMITA DAS：“这是我第一次投票，感觉非常好。为了避免高峰期，我提早来到投票点，但是你可以看到，这里已经聚集了很多人。”

　　The election is spread out in nine stages. On the first day of voting, polling is taking place in six constituencies across two states in the north-east - Assam and Tripura. Here in the famous tea growing region of Assam, among the main parties voters must choose from is the ruling Congress or the Hindu nationalist BJP opposition.

　　选举共分九个阶段进行。投票首日，投票活动在东北部两个邦，阿萨姆邦和特里普拉邦的六个选区进行。选民们要在几个主要党派中进行选择，包括执政国大党或反对派印度民族主义者印度人民党(BJP)。

　　(SOUNDBITE) (Hindi) UMESH KUMAR, A VOTER, SAYING: "We have come to cast our vote, as we hope that a good leader is selected who forms a stable government and can provide solution to the problems which the country is facing."

　　投票者UMESH KUMAR：“我们来这里投出我们的选票，因为我们希望能够选出优秀的领导人，能够组建稳定的政府，为全国面临的问题提供解决方法。”

　　Narendra Modi's opposition BJP party has promised to do just that...to jumpstart a flagging economy and sweep out the Nehru Gandi dynasty. Pollsters predict that Modi and allies will win the biggest chunk of the 543 parliamentary seats up for grabs but will fall shy of a majority. If this happens a coalition government led by the BJP is seen as the most likely outcome. But here in Assam, it's a Congress party stronghold. The result won't be known for some time. The ballot concludes on 12 May and votes will not be counted until 16 May.

　　纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)领导的印度人民党(BJP)已经对此作出承诺，快速发展衰退的经济，清除尼赫鲁·甘地王朝。民意测验机构预测莫迪及其盟友将在543个议会席位中赢得最多席位，但是不会获得大多数优势。如果预测成为现实，由BJP领导的联合政府将是最可能的结果。但是阿萨姆邦是执政国大党的堡垒。结果将需要一段时间才能出炉。投票将于5月12日结束，选票将于5月16日开始统计。
