India has awarded a "geographical indications" tag to rosogolla, the king of Indian sweets, after a years-long battle between two neighboring states over the ownership rights.
印度已授予印度甜點之王「奶豆腐湯圓」一張「地理標示」標籤，在兩鄰邦針對所有權長年論戰後。
Luscious rosogolla, or sweet cheese balls dripping with sugar syrup, have long been a favorite dessert across the Indian subcontinent and among the diaspora.
甜滋滋的「奶豆腐湯圓」，一種滴著糖漿的甜乳酪球，長久以來在印度次大陸與散居的印度人之間，一直是深受喜愛的甜點。
But two eastern states, West Bengal and Odisha, have been arguing over the origins of rosogolla, which means a ball of sweet. They consulted historians and produced old documents to support their claims.
但東部兩邦—西孟加拉邦以及奧里薩邦—一直以來爭論著意指甜丸的「奶豆腐湯圓」起源。他們請教歷史學家，並出示古老文件，以支持他們的主張。
On Tuesday, the federal commerce and industry ministry ruled that the sweet originated from West Bengal, giving it the coveted "geographical indications" tag.
週二，印度聯邦工商部判決，這樣甜點起源於西孟加拉邦，給了它眾人垂涎的「地理標示」標籤。
The World Trade Organisation says "geographical indications" defines a good as originating in a particular territory of a member, or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is available.
世界貿易組織說，「地理標示」確定了一項商品源自於該組織某成員的一處特定領土，或是該領土內的某個區域或是地點，而商品在當地具有一定品質、聲譽或其他特性。
West Bengal’s chief minister Mamata Banerjee welcomed the decision saying in a Twitter post it was "sweet news for us all". （Reuters）
西孟加拉邦首席部長瑪瑪塔．班納吉讚許這項決定，在推特一篇貼文說，它是「我們所有人的甜美消息。」（路透）
