  • At first glance, the new car unveiled at a motor show appeared to be an updated model of the Range Rover Evoque.

    乍看之下,这款在汽车展览会上出现的新车似乎是路虎揽胜极光的最新款。

    With its signature body shape, lights and radiator1 grill2 and silver logo across the front edge of its bonnet3, it was the spitting image of the British bestseller.

    其标志性的车型、车灯、散热器护栅和发动机罩前沿的银色logo,几乎和英国的那款畅销车一模一样。

    But in fact, it was a brazen4 copy of the hugely popular UK-designed ‘baby’ off-roader – and a fraction of the price.

    但是实际上,它是英国设计的迷你人气爆款越野车厚颜无耻的山寨版本——而价格才是越野车的一小部分。

    Little-known Chinese carmaker LandWind launched its £14,000 X7 at the Guangzhou motor show in China last week.

    上周,鲜为人知的中国汽车制造商“陆风”在广州车展上发布了这款价值1万4000英镑的新车。

    Its uncanny similarity to the £40,000-plus Evoque’s distinctive5 design provoked an angry response from Jaguar6 Land Rover, which may take legal action to protect its brand.

    新车和价值4万多英镑的,拥有独一无二设计的揽胜极光有着惊人的相似度,这激起了路虎捷豹的愤怒,他们称可能会动用法律手段来保护他们的品牌。

    The British manufacturer has just opened its first car factory in China in a venture with local firm Chery.

    这家英国制造商伙同中国的奇瑞公司刚在中国开办了他们第一家车厂。

    Jaguar Land Rover chief executive Dr Ralf Speth told Autocar magazine: ‘The fact that this kind of copying is ongoing7 in China is very disappointing. The intellectual property (IP) is owned by Jaguar Land Rover and if you break that IP then you are in breach8 of international regulations.’

    路虎捷豹首席执行官拉尔夫·施佩特博士告诉《汽车之家》杂志:“事实上这类仿冒在中国不断出现十分令人失望。其知识产权归路虎捷豹所有,而且如果你侵犯了别人的知识产权你就违反了国际法规。”

    But drivers looking for a fashionable car at a bargain price might want to wait for safety inspection9 results.

    不过想要以低价购得一部潮车的司机们也许想要等待安检结果出来。

    LandWind’s earlier CV9 people-carrier scored just two stars out of five in European crash tests in 2010.

    2010年,陆风早先的CV9载人型车在欧洲碰撞测试中才得了二星(全五星)。
