2024考研英语同源外刊:中国是如何成为汽车出口大国?

Car enthusiasts tend to fall into one of two camps: those who fawn over the power and speed of German automotive engineering; and those who think Japanese cars are superior, admiring their reliability and value for money. For decades the two countries have jostled for position as the world’s leading car exporter. But the pair’s dominance is coming to an end. Already the world’s largest car manufacturer, China is on track to overtake its rivals in exports, too.

汽车爱好者倾向于分为两大阵营：一是迷恋德国汽车工程的动力和速度;另一些人则认为日本车更好，他们欣赏日本车的可靠性和性价比。几十年来，两国一直在争夺世界主要汽车出口国的地位。但这两个国家的主导地位即将结束。中国已经是世界上较大的汽车生产国，在出口方面也正在赶超其竞争对手。

Until just a few years ago, attempts by Chinese carmakers to expand into foreign markets had stalled. In 2015 China exported under 375.000 cars a year, fewer than India, and about as many as Germany and Japan shipped in a single month. But in around 2020. the country changed gears. In 2021 China exported nearly 1.6m cars. By 2022 it hit 2.7m. International sales are set to rev up further in 2023. Customs data show that the country shipped nearly 2m cars in the first six months of the year, or more than 10.000 a day.

直到几年前，中国汽车制造商向海外市场扩张的努力还处于停滞状态。2015年，中国一年出口不到37.5万辆汽车，少于印度，大约相当于德国和日本一个月的出口量。但在2020年左右，中国加速了。2021年，中国出口了近160万辆汽车。到2022年，这一数字达到270万。2023年，中国汽车的国际销量将进一步加速增长。海关数据显示，今年前6个月，中国汽车出口量接近200万辆，相当于每天出口超过1万辆。

The country’s expertise in electric vehicles (EVs) is partly responsible for the surge in exports. For all its manufacturing might, China never mastered internal-combustion engines, which have hundreds of moving parts and are tricky to assemble. The arrival of battery-powered vehicles, which are mechanically simpler and easier to build, helped China catch up. Today battery-powered vehicles account for a fifth of car sales in China and a third of exports. In Japan and Germany only 4% and 20% of exports, respectively, are electric.

中国在电动汽车方面的专长是出口激增的部分原因。尽管中国拥有强大的制造业，但中国从未掌握内燃机的制造，因为内燃机有数百个活动部件，且组装起来很棘手。电动汽车的出现，使中国迎头赶上，这种汽车在机械上更简单、更容易制造。如今，电动汽车占中国汽车销量的五分之一，占出口的三分之一。在日本和德国，电动汽车销量分别只占出口的4%和20%。
