沃尔沃拟在美国建厂向中国出口汽车

Volvo, the Sweden-based, Chinese-owned carmaker, is seeking to head off protectionist sentiment in the US by exporting cars to China from an American plant.

总部驻瑞典、由中国人持有的汽车制造商沃尔沃(Volvo)正试图通过从美国工厂向中国出口汽车，打消美国的贸易保护主义情绪。

The factory being built in South Carolina will employ 4,000 workers and produce a small sedan that will be sold in Europe and China starting in 2018.

这家建在南卡罗来纳州的工厂将雇佣4000名工人，生产一种从2018年开始在欧洲和中国销售的小型轿车。

H?kan Samuelsson, chief executive of Volvo Cars, said producing cars in the US for export — particularly to China — offers a powerful rebuttal to accusations that China is taking US jobs.

沃尔沃汽车(Volvo Cars)首席执行官霍坎?萨穆埃尔松(H?kan Samuelsson)表示，在美国生产汽车用于出口——尤其是向中国出口，是对中国正在夺走美国工作岗位的指控的有力反驳。

“From an American horizon we see that we create 4,000 jobs in South Carolina. Half of those jobs will be related to export to Europe and China” said Mr Samuelsson, speaking at the Volvo booth in the Shanghai Auto Show.

萨穆埃尔松在上海车展(Shanghai Auto Show)的沃尔沃展位表示：“从美国的角度来看，我们看到我们在南卡罗来纳州创造了4000个工作岗位。其中半数工作岗位将与对欧洲和中国的出口有关。”

“The Volvo trade flow globally is level, fair and balanced. It’s different than just setting up a factory in Mexico and selling into the US. It’s a global production system and good for everybody,” he said.

他说：“沃尔沃在全球的贸易流向是平等、公正和均衡的。这与仅仅在墨西哥设厂再向美国销售不同。这是一种全球生产体系，有益于每一个人。”

Volvo was bought in 2010 by Chinese domestic automaker Geely, making it the only Chinese-owned carmaker now producing vehicles in China for export to the US — it exports the S90 sedan from a plant in the city of Daqing.

沃尔沃于2010年被中国国内的汽车制造商吉利(Geely)收购，成为唯一一个目前在中国生产汽车、用于向美国出口的归中国人所有的汽车制造商——该公司出口一款在大庆市一家工厂生产的S90轿车。
