TopGear关于观致的报道及翻译

TopGear官网前两天刚发了一篇关于观致的报道。

今天在微信上看到了，特转过来。

大概翻译如下：

标题：

主 China rising: it’s the Qoros SUV  中国正在崛起崛起：这次是观致3SUV

Qashqai rival provides further proof that China can build a tidy car. And it’s coming to Europe

这款逍客的竞品车证明，中国也可以造出规矩整洁（应该是暗暗吐槽之前的中国车。。还记得TG又一次测试了一款中国车，还有视频）的车。而且，它就要进入欧洲了。

Remember Qoros, the Chinese start-up that, a couple of years back, promised an all-out assault on Europe with a range of cars to rival VW, Toyota or Hyundai?

还记得观致，那个几年前曾让人觉得有希望全力挑战大众、丰田和现代等一票品牌的中国初创汽车公司么？

Well, presumably much to the chagrin of the senior executives of those companies, Qoros hasn"t quietly slipped into the background.

好吧，观致没有默默无闻地被淹没在背景中，也许让那些公司的高管们很忧心。

The Shanghai-based firm has today announced it will bring the lumpily named Qoros 3 City SUV, its third production model, to the Geneva motor show next week, reiterating plans to stick it to Europe"s big players.

这个总部设在上海的公司今天宣布，它将于下周携其第三款量产车——观致3都市SUV——名字很直白（lumpily named，或者是繁琐的意思？）——亮相日内瓦车展，重申了他们努力挤入欧洲这一票大玩家之中的计划。

And, like Qoros"s previous offerings, this Qashqai-rivalling SUV looks entirely plausible, in a handsome-without-being-at-all-memorable way. It"s powered by a very sensible sounding 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, and costs the equivalent of about ￡14,000 in China.

正如观致之前的产品，这款逍客的竞品SUV看起来设计得完全合理，“外观漂亮却完全不令人难忘”（是中庸的意思么？我猜想作者暗讽以前的中国品牌汽车样子很夸张，或者山寨）它由一台1.6T汽油机驱动——听起来很中规中矩，在中国的售价约合1.4万英镑。

It isn"t, we know, going to get your fizz gland fizzing in quite the same way as the upcoming Aston Vulcan. But it"s further evidence that, like it or not, the Chinese are coming.

我们当然知道它不会像阿斯顿马丁Vulcan即将上市的消息那样让你兴奋，但它却进一步证明，不管你喜欢不喜欢，中国人（车）来了。

And the cars won"t be the laughable, lethal knock-offs for which China was once renowned. In late 2013, the Qoros 3 Sedan received a five-star crash test rating, Euro NCAP hailing it as one of the safest cars tested that year.

这车可不是中国以前那样可笑的、安全性低下的仿制品。2013年观致3轿车获得了5星碰撞安全评价，ENCAP盛赞其为当年最安全车型之一。

"Remember 40 years ago, when the Japanese brands started coming? Now we all know they are there," Qoros"s strategy director Daniel Backman told TG in 2013. "Ten years ago we had the Koreans, now they"re established. We are the next ones. I think people have been waiting for the first serious Chinese brand. Now we"re here."

“还记得40年前日本品牌刚刚创立兴起么？我们知道他们现在什么水平了”，2013年时观致公司战略总监Daniel Backman曾对topgear这样说。“10年前是韩国人，目前他们已经成功了。我们是下一个。我觉得大家都在等待第一个靠谱的中国汽车品牌，那就是我们”。

Or very close, at least. Qoros started selling cars in Slovakia, its first European market, in late 2013, with a roll-out across Europe expected by 2016. Whether that roll-out includes the UK is unclear, as Qoros doesn"t yet offer its wares in right-hand drive. We suspect it"s only a matter of time.

即便不是，也非常接近了。作为进军欧洲市场的第一站，2013年观致在斯洛伐克上市，预计到2016年扩展到整个欧洲。这个“整个”是不是包含英国，目前尚未可知，因为观致还没有发布他们的右舵车型。不过我们觉得，这只是时间问题。

If the price was right, would you consider this Qoros SUV on your sensible family shopping list, Euro-types?

如果价格合适的话，你是否在购车时把观致3SUV考虑进去呢？

啥时候TG测试一下观致车呢？
