观三在欧洲开卖

China has been producing homegrown cars like there"s no tomorrow in recent years, but their poor safety ratings have traditionally kept them out of American and European markets. But a crash test victory by theQoros 3 Sedan could mean that"s about to change. P

中国近年来一直在急切地大量生产国产汽车，但是这些车却通常因为较差的安全评级被美国和欧洲市场拒之门外。然而，一场由观致3取胜的碰撞测试可能意味着改变将要发生。



The Qoros 3 just scored a five-star crash safety rating in the Euro NCAP test. Even more shockingly, the car achieved the highest overall performance of all vehicles assessed so far in 2013, making it one of the safest vehicles ever tested by the Europeans.P

在刚结束的欧碰测试中观致3的成绩被评定为五星。更令人惊奇的是，观致3在2013年迄今的测试中达到了最高的整体指标，这让它成为欧碰测试过的最安全的轿车之一。





It"s hard to see this as anything other than a huge win for both Qoros, a new and upcoming automaker, as well as Chinese cars in general. Just a few years ago, their safety and quality ratings were considered laughable by Western standards. When Brilliance tried to export their B6 sedan in 2007, it scored only one star in a German test. Now we have a Chinese car that ranked among the best tested in Europe this year.

这是场巨大的胜利，因为很难不把它看成是一场巨大的胜利。它不只是观致这个新制造商的胜利，同样也是中国国产车的胜利。仅仅数年以前，中国国产车还因为其安全和质量评级都是让西方标准贻笑大方的货们。在2007年，中华汽车年尝试出口其B6型轿车，但在德国的碰撞测试中它只得了一星的成绩。现在，我们却有了一辆今年碰撞测试名列前茅的中国汽车。



In other words, the Chinese are getting there. You may not be able to buy Chinese cars in the U.S. at the moment (besides a few oddballs like the Coda) but that"s going to change eventually.P

换句话说，中国正在取得成功。可能目前你还没法在美国购买中国车（除了诸如可达轿车一类的怪货），但情况迟早会发生变化的。



The Qoros 3 went on sale in Slovakia this month with a base. price of about 16,000 Euro or $21,600. Volume sales in China are set to begin next year.

这个月观致3在斯洛伐克上市，底价16，000欧或21，600美元。这款车也将于明年在中国开始大量销售。China has been producing homegrown cars like there"s no tomorrow in recent years, but their poor safety ratings have traditionally kept them out of American and European markets.
