There is little debate about the start date of the vintage period—the end of World War I is a nicely defined marker there—but the end date is a matter of a little more debate.
复古时期的起始时间鲜有争议：一战的结束是一个清晰的标志；然而截止日期却略有争议。

A look at some of the prices now being achieved for cars that could have been bought for remarkably little money as recently as a decade ago, shows that the market is at a record high.
只要看看一些本可在10年前以极低价格购入的老爷车目前的价格就知道，老爷车市场目前正处于创纪录高点。

The stellar prices can partly be accounted for by the fact that more people with more money are now in the market for a classic car than ever before, and that previously overlooked marques, models and types have now acquired collectable status.
创下如此惊人成交价格的部分原因在于这样一个事实：目前那些资金更加充沛、进入老爷车市场的人比从前更多，而以往一些被忽视的品牌型号目前已具有收藏价值。

Another factor responsible for the soaring prices of classics in the US is that, following 9/11, Americans have re-evaluated their heritage.

One of the key trends is that the number of new bidders is still increasing and many of them are not afraid to buy something that, a few years ago, would have been considered a little off-beat.
如今重要的趋势之一，是新参与竞拍的人数仍在增加，其中许多人都不怕购买一些几年前还被认为有点土的汽车。
