How can I help you? I'm looking for a German car preferably, but I'm not sure which brand to choose. Here we stock used Volkswagens, BMWs and Mercedes-Benz. OK, great. Can you tell me something about them? I know the word "Volkswagen" means "people's car", right? Yes, before the 1930s, there had been many efforts to create simple cars that everyone could afford, but none met with profound success. So who was the first person to succeed with the "people's car"? A man named Ferdinand Porsche. I'm sure you've heard that name before, set up business and made a simple car that everyone could afford. Oh, you must mean the Volkswagen Beetle. Didn't Adolf Hitler have something to do with that? Yes, Porsche pushed his idea of a small car forward and helped Hitler get a real people's car for the citizens of Germany. I don't really like any Volkswagen models. How about BMWs? BMW began almost 90 years ago, making aircraft engines, motorcycles and then cars.
有什么需要帮助的吗? 我想要一辆德国车,但是不知道该选哪个牌子。 我们这里有二手的大众,宝马和奔驰。 哦,太棒了。你能帮我介绍一下吗?我知道"Volkswagen"这个词的意思是大众,对吧? 是的,19世纪三十年代以前,汽车人一直致力于制造普通人能买的起的简约车型,但是都没有太大的进展。 那第一个成功制造大众车的人是谁呢? 我想你之前一定听过费德南迪•保时捷这个名字,就是他开工生产,制造了第一款大众都能负担的起的简约车型。 哦,你是说大众的甲壳虫了。阿道夫•希特勒是不是跟它有点关系? 是的,保时捷推进了他的小车型理念,同时帮希特勒为德国民众设计了一款真正意义上的大众车。 我实在是不喜欢大众的任何一款车。宝马怎么样? 宝马开始于90年前,先是制造飞机引擎,后来是摩托车,再后来就是汽车。 ——译文来自: huanecho
