探祕少年派出身地,朋迪榭裏的印法風情
The French Quarter: The backdrop to many of the sequences in Life of Pi. Pondicherry then frequently changed hands between France and Britain between 1761-1815, after which it remained in French possession until 1954.
法租界（朋迪榭裏）：《少年派》中很多幕場景的背景地。朋迪榭裏之後從1761年到1815年一直在法國和英國之間頻繁易手，直到1954年重被法國擁有。

Grand Bazaar and Tamil Quarter: The setting for Pi’s flirtations with his girlfriend Anandi ,this football pitch-sized market crams in dozens of types of bananas, sacks of beans, okra and ginger, and flowers.
大巴扎和泰米爾廣場：派和他的女朋友Anandi調情的場景設置地，這個足球場大小的集市上擺滿了數十種香蕉、大袋的豆子、秋葵、姜、和鮮花。

Le Jardin Botanique de Pondicherry: The zoo where Pi’s father works demanded a film set, of course, so director Ang Lee settled on the town’s Botanical Gardens.
朋迪榭裏的蒙特利爾植物園：派的父親工作的動物園當然需要一個電影拍攝地，所以導演李安設在鎮上的植物園裏。
Created by the French in 1826 and covering about 20 acres, the Botanical Gardens are about a mile from the French Quarter, and fronted by the yellow walls typical of Pondy’s remaining French buildings.

It’s a popular place for courting young Pondicheriens, but it doesn’t offer much of an escape for anyone suffering from humidity. For those feeling the heat, the town’s only swimming pool can be found at the Ananda Inn, famed for its great-value vegetarian buffet
這是一個迎合年輕的朋迪榭里人的好地方，但它沒有對不適應溼度的人提供多大的庇護。對那些感覺到熱的人，鎮上唯一的游泳池能在Ananda客棧找到，以其高價值的素食自助餐而聞名。
Sri Aurobindo Ashram: Referenced in the novel as a place where Mamaji – Pi’s uncle – swam 30 lengths every morning, and appearing fleetingly in the film as a backdrop, there is no more important place in modern Pondicherry than the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram：小說中提到的地點Mamaji – 派的叔叔——每天早晨遊30個直池，作爲背景在影片中一閃而現，在現代朋迪榭裏沒有比Sri Aurobindo Ashram更重要的地方了。
