林超伦实战口译练习笔记 第30期:与美国厂家一较高下

 The launch of this L50 will mark the beginning of a series of launches, giving us a full range of new cars, 3-door, 5-door, estate, diesel¹, and from 1 liter all the way up to our luxury 2 liter saloons. A convertible² and a 4-wheel drive are also in the final design stage. With this new family, we'll be able to compete robustly³ with any competitor in US, and will be able to take on the EU market too. But products alone are not enough.

L50的推出标志着新车家族系列推出的开始。这将给我们带来全套新车，3门车、5门车、连箱车，柴油车、小到一公斤、大到两公斤的豪华车，应有尽有。敞篷车和四轮驱动车也已经进入设计的最后阶段。有了这个新车家族，我们就可以与任何美国厂家进行有力竞争，一比高低，而且可以进军欧洲市场。但是光有产品还不行。
