和訳をお願いします。Bombay's legendary gateway of India.
Bombay's legendary gateway of India. Built by the British in the days of their empire, this was the official point of entry for British visitors to the city and the country beyond. I wonder what fun and games I will have finding a taxi driver around here? Because there are 16 million people living in Bombay and something like 65,000 taxis! インドの都市ボンベイ（ムンバイ）を紹介している内容です。 意味がとおるように訳せなくって(^_^;) 宜しくお願いします！

訳は出来ても内容は？？？と言う文の例ではと思います。 それで意味を補って見ました。 このあたりでタクシーの運ちゃんを捕まえるのはちと面白くゲーム （ギャンブル）？ （というのは）ボンベイには千六百万の人が住み、タクシーは（玉石混交） 六万五千台も有るのだから！ 背景は、1000万都市東京のタクシー台数は5万台、ムンバイも同じくらい ただしレベルの差は下記URLに有るように大きく、当たり外れは ギャンブルのようです。 マイナスには書かない観光案内か何かの文で、婉曲的に表現し、 行ってビックリでしょうか。 http://museindia.typepad.jp/2009/2009/02/mumbai-df70.html

「ボンベイの有名なインド門。帝國時代のイギリスによって建てられ、この都市およびその国土への、イギリス人訪問者たちの公式な上陸ポイントだった。 このあたりでタクシードライバーを見つけることは、なんて楽しさとゲームを私にもたらすことだろう？ なぜならボンベイには１６００万人もの人々が住んでいて、65,000台かそこらのタクシーがあるのだから！」

「ボンベイにあるインドへの伝説的な入り口。 大英帝国華やかなりし頃に建てられ、これはイギリスからの訪問客をボンベイ、さらに遠くへ迎える正式の入り口であった。ボンベイには千六百万の人が住み、タクシーの台数は六万五千台とかと聞いているから、この近所でタクシーの運ちゃんを捕まえるのはちと面白いことになるかも。」

次の和訳について添削をお願いします。 長文なのですがよろしくお願いします。 The vibrant city of Mumbai is a natural first stop for visitors to India's western coast. 活気に満ちたムンバイは、インドの西海岸への訪問客のための自然な最初の滞在所だ。 “One could say that Mumbai is the New York of India,” says Munbai native Divya Abhat. 「ある人は、ムンバイがインドのニューヨークであると言った」と、ムンバイが出生地のDivya Abhatは言う。 “It’s a place of big opportunities big contrasts, and big energies … There is always something going on.” 「それは、大きいチャンス、大きい差と大きいエネルギー… 続いている何かが、常にある場所だ。」 Previously known as Bombay, the city was renamed Mumbai (derved from the goddess Mumba) in 1995 as part of a movement away from colonial names. 以前からボンベイとして知られていたその都市は植民地の名前から離れてゆく運動一部として1995年にムンバイ（女神Mumbaに由来する）と名前を変えられた。 The traditional cultural center of India, Mumbai is today a very modern city with world-class shopping, restaurants, and business areas. インドの伝統的な文化的な中心であるムンバイは今日、世界に通用する購買施設、レストランと商業地域をもつ非常に現代の都市だ。 It is also home to Bollywood, the world’s largest movie industry. それは世界最大の映画産業であるボリウッドの本拠地である。 India is a complex country, culturally rich and diverse. インドは複雑な国で、文化的に豊かであり、多様でもある。 If you visit India, be prepared for sensory overload you will experience a culture of amazing depth and variety. あなたがインドを訪問するならば、見事な深さと多様性の文化を経験する感覚の過多に備えるだろう。 Five-star luxury can be enjoyed at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, built in 1903 by Persian-Indian businessman Jamsetji Tata. 五つ星の贅沢はペルシャのインドのビジネスマンJamsetji Tataによって1903年に建てられたムンバイのタジマハール・パレスホテルで楽しむことができる。 According to local legend, Tata was not permitted to enter the finest British-managed hotel of that time, Wilson’s, because of its policy of serving only European guests. 地元の伝説によると、ヨーロッパの客だけをもてなすという政策が原因で、その時間（ウィルソンのもの）で最もすばらしい英国に管理されたホテルに入ることを、Tataは許諾されなかった。 In response, he established the Taj, with a promise that it would have the world’s best service. それに応じて、世界最高のサービスをするという約束で、彼はTajを確立した。

German industrial and economic power had grown greatly after unification and the foundation of the Empire in 1871 following the Franco-Prussian War. From the mid-1890s on, the government of Wilhelm II used this base to devote significant economic resources for building up the Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy), established by Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, in rivalry with the British Royal Navy for world naval supremacy. As a result, each nation strove to out-build the other in capital ships. With the launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906, the British Empire expanded on its significant advantage over its German rival. The arms race between Britain and Germany eventually extended to the rest of Europe, with all the major powers devoting their industrial base to producing the equipment and weapons necessary for a pan-European conflict. Between 1908 and 1913, the military spending of the European powers increased by 50% Photo of large white building with one signs saying "Moritz Schiller" and another in Arabic; in front is a cluster of people looking at poster on the wall.

In August 1916, a combined Ottoman and German Empire Army had been forced to retreat to Bir el Abd, after the British victory in the Battle of Romani. During the following three months the defeated force retired further eastwards to El Arish, while the captured territory stretching from the Suez Canal was consolidated and garrisoned by the EEF. Patrols and reconnaissances were carried out by British forces, to protect the continuing construction of the railway and water pipeline and to deny passage across the Sinai desert to the Ottoman forces by destroying water cisterns and wells.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Ottoman Empire had a reputation as the sick man of Europe. After the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913, the French, British and Germans had offered financial aid. In December 1913, the Germans sent a military mission to Constantinople, headed by General Otto Liman von Sanders. The geographical position of the Ottoman Empire meant that Russia, France and Britain had a significant interest in Ottoman neutrality. During the Sarajevo Crisis in 1914, German diplomats offered Turkey an anti-Russian alliance and territorial gains, when the pro-British faction in the Cabinet was isolated, due to the British ambassador's absence. On 30 July 1914, two days after the outbreak of the war in Europe, the Ottoman leaders, unaware that the British might enter a European war, agreed to a secret Ottoman-German Alliance against Russia, although it did not require them to undertake military action. On 2 August, the British requisitioned the modern battleships Sultân Osmân-ı Evvel and Reşadiye which British shipyards had been building for the Ottoman Navy, alienating pro-British elements. The German government offered SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau as replacements. In the Pursuit of Goeben and Breslau, the ships escaped when the Ottoman government opened the Dardanelles to them, despite international law requiring a neutral party to block military shipping. In September, the British naval mission to the Ottomans was recalled and Rear Admiral Wilhelm Souchon of the Imperial German Navy took command of the Ottoman navy. The German naval presence, and the success of the German armies, gave the pro-German faction in the Ottoman government enough influence to declare war on Russia. In October 1914, following an incident on 27 September, when the British Dardanelles squadron had seized an Ottoman torpedo boat, the German commander of the Dardanelles fortifications ordered the passage closed, adding to the impression that the Ottomans were pro-German. Hostilities began on 28 October, when the Ottoman fleet, including Goeben and Breslau (flying the Ottoman flag and renamed Yavûz Sultân Selîm and Midilli but still commanded by German officers and manned by German crews) conducted the Black Sea Raid. Odessa and Sevastopol were bombarded, and a Russian minelayer and gunboat were sunk. The Ottomans refused an Allied demand that they expel the German missions and on 31 October 1914, formally joined the Central Powers. Russia declared war on Turkey on 2 November and the British ambassador left Constantinople the next day.
