This is because our country is vast, and it isn't easy to develop many parts of Indonesia compared to a developed country such as Singapore, South Korea, or Japan.

這是因?yàn)槲覀儑?guó)家幅員遼闊,與新加坡、韓國(guó)或日本這樣的發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家相比,印度尼西亞的很多地區(qū)都不容易發(fā)展起來(lái)。


The size of Indonesia is compared to Europe on an old Dutch map.

在一張舊的荷蘭地圖上,印度尼西亞的面積與歐洲相當(dāng)。

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with at least 17,000 islands, including five main islands: Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Papua. There are 30 more minor archipelagos, and around 6,000 islands are inhabited. Indonesia is huge, diverse, and, most importantly, geographically disconnected, making construction difficult and costly, which is necessary for improving the living conditions of the people around it.

印度尼西亞是一個(gè)群島國(guó)家,至少有17000個(gè)島嶼,包括五個(gè)主要島嶼:爪哇、蘇門(mén)答臘、婆羅洲、蘇拉威西和巴布亞。還有30多個(gè)小群島,大約6000個(gè)島嶼有人居住。印度尼西亞幅員遼闊,地域多樣,最重要的是,地理位置分散,這使得建設(shè)變得困難和昂貴,而這是改善周?chē)嗣裆顥l件的必要條件。

Did you know that back then, it was much cheaper for Indonesians to travel to Europe than to Papua, which is part of Indonesia? In 2023, the plane ticket route Jakarta Jayapura or Jakarta Timika will cost around Rp20 million. Meanwhile, the plane ticket route from Jakarta to Amsterdam will cost around Rp12 million.
Thankfully, the situation has improved today, but you still get the point.


你知道嗎,那時(shí)候,印度尼西亞人去歐洲旅行比去巴布亞便宜得多,巴布亞是印度尼西亞的一部分。2023年,雅加達(dá)查亞普拉或雅加達(dá)蒂米卡的機(jī)票價(jià)格約為2000萬(wàn)印尼盾。與此同時(shí),從雅加達(dá)到阿姆斯特丹的機(jī)票價(jià)格約為1200萬(wàn)印尼盾。
謝天謝地,如今情況已經(jīng)有所改善了,但你依然能明白其中的要點(diǎn)。

So you get the point. Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia. Of course, we were in the 1 trillion dollar club. However, we still have a long way to go to close the disparity gap between our regions so that Indonesia can achieve that developed status you're asking for.

所以你要知道,印度尼西亞是東南亞最大的經(jīng)濟(jì)體。當(dāng)然了,我們也曾躋身萬(wàn)億美元經(jīng)濟(jì)體俱樂(lè)部。不過(guò),要縮小我們各地區(qū)之間的差距,讓印度尼西亞達(dá)到你們所期望的發(fā)達(dá)狀態(tài),我們還有很長(zhǎng)的路要走。
