Charlie 是我们这边研究 BYD 的专家,接下来请他来说。
Charlie is our expert on BYD, and he will now carry forth.
这个嘛,中国的汽车市场是个巨大的市场,而他们刚好就在中国。
Well, the car market in China is a huge market, and they happen to be located in China.
所以这就是 BYD 主要关注的重点。
So that's the main focus of BYD.
我觉得,他们一开始想带到美国来的车,可能会先卖给 California 的车队,因为我们那边有环境方面的问题之类的,所以电动车在那边也许会有市场。
I think the first cars they will try and bring here will be for fleets in California where we have environmental troubles and so on, and there may be a market for electric cars with that.
当然,使用电动车的人还能拿到各种各样的补贴。
And of course, there are various subsidies that come to people who use electric cars.
我有一些亲戚通勤去 Washington, D.C.,他们只有买了 Prius,才能走高速公路上的快速车道,这对 Toyota 很有帮助。
I have some relatives who commute into Washington, D.C., and they can only use the fast lane on the freeway if they buy a Prius, and that's been very helpful to Toyota.
而且我们以后会看到更多这种事情。
And we'll see a lot more of that sort of thing.
总的来说,我觉得 BYD 是一家很有意思的公司。
Generally speaking, I think BYD is an interesting company.
你仔细想想看,一个农民的八个孩子中的一个,后来成了著名工学院的教授,还不到五十岁,就拿到了相当于中国诺贝尔奖的奖项;然后他又创办了一家公司,有十八万多名员工,拥有一大片土地,差不多有 Macau 那么大,还有一亿多平方英尺的建筑面积。
If you stop to think about it, here's one of eight children of a peasant that becomes a famous engineering school professor, and before he's reached 50, he's won the equivalent of China's Nobel Prize, and he has created a company which has 180-some thousand employees, a landholding about the size of Macau, and 100 and some million square feet of buildings.
这真是一家非常有意思的新创公司。
It's a very interesting startup company.
你觉得到二零三零年,汽车里会有百分之多少是电动车?
What percent of the cars do you think in 2030 will be electrics?
不会太多。
Not many.
我刚才就不该问这个。
I shouldn't have asked.
我觉得从社会角度来说,这有点像 Iowa 那种靠补贴推动的风电。
I think society, it's like the wind power that's being subsidized in Iowa.
我们应该用各种方式补贴电动车,就像 Washington, D.C. 那样,让它们可以走高速公路上的快速车道,这样就能把这项技术带动起来,让我们能更快摆脱对石油的依赖。
We should subsidize electric cars in various ways, as they do in Washington, D.C., by letting them use the fast lane on the freeway, in order to get the technology going so that we can wean ourselves from oil more quickly.
所以我觉得,补贴会更多,电动车也会更多。
So I think there will be more subsidies, and there will be more electric cars.
但我并不期待会突然发生一场革命。
But I'm not expecting a sudden revolution.
对,我开过 BYD 电动车的最新版本。
Yeah, I drove the latest version of BYD's electric car.
是 Guy 开的。
Guy drove.
星期二我被载着绕街区开了一圈,我非常震惊,这车居然进步了这么多。
I was driven around the block Tuesday, and I was flabbergasted at how much improved that car was.
中国人学习那些
It's simply amazing how fast people in China are learning to
我们花了很长时间才学会的东西,他们学得之快,真是让人惊叹。
do what took us a long time to learn.
而且这个世界正变得越来越有竞争性。
And the world is getting very much more competitive.
