历史今天:1908年第一辆福特T型车问世

【英文原文】

The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie and Flivver) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile came into popular usage. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that "put America on wheels"; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting, as well as the concept of paying the workers a wage proportionate to the cost of the car, so that they would provide a ready made market. The first production Model T was built on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan.

【中文译文】

福特T型车（ 俗称罐式小汽车 ）是1908年至1927年期间由亨利福特的福特汽车公司生产的。T型车的出现将1908年变为对汽车行业具有重大历史意义的一年，因为在这一年汽车得到广泛应用。T型车被视为第一种老百姓负担得起的汽车， “让美国行走在汽车轮子上”的汽车。很大一部分原因是来自福特汽车的改革创新，改革涵盖了整套生产线而不是个别工位，以及支付工人与汽车销售额相符合的报酬的工资体系，这样便让他们扩大了市场占有率。1908年9月27日，第一生产T型车生产线建立于密歇根州底特律的Piquette工厂。
