China Boosts Makers Of Luxury Cars
豪华车销量增长还看中国
Daimler AG said Monday sales at its core Mercedes-Benz cars division rose 16% in November to 98,400 vehicles, as demand in many regions improved, with China showing particularly strong growth.
戴姆勒公司(Daimler AG)周一表示，旗下核心汽车分公司梅赛德斯-奔驰(Mercedes-Benz)的销量在11月份上涨了16%，达到98,400辆，因很多地区需求提高，其中中国需求的增长尤显强劲。
The company said the rise was a result of double-digit increases for the E-Class and new-generation S-Class, plus strong sales growth in many regions such as Western Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
该公司说，这一增长是E级汽车和新一代S级汽车销量呈双位数增长的结果，另外也受到了西欧、北美和亚太等许多地区销量强劲增长的带动。
The German auto maker said 8,900 cars were delivered in China in November, three times the number sold in November 2008.
这家德国汽车生产商表示，11月份在中国的销量为8,900辆，是2008年11月销量的3倍。
Daimler expects overall fourth-quarter sales to be significantly higher than last year, when demand for luxury cars collapsed amid the financial crisis.
戴姆勒预计，整个第四季度的销量将较去年同期大幅提升。去年四季度，受金融危机影响，豪华车的需求急剧下降。
It said global sales of the new-generation E-Class doubled last month to 15,700 vehicles. The revamped E-Class model was the company's most important launch this year.
它表示，新一代E级汽车上个月在全球范围内的销量翻了一番，达到15,700辆。新一代E级车型是该公司今年推出的最重要产品。
The car is crucial for Mercedes-Benz both in terms of sales volume and revenue per car.
不管是在销售量还是在单车收入方面，这款车型对梅赛德斯-奔驰都是至为重要的。
'Additional sales momentum will be generated over the next few weeks by the new E-Class estate, which reached the dealerships Nov. 21 and has been a big hit with customers,' said Mercedes-Benz Sales Chief Joachim Schmidt.
梅赛德斯-奔驰销售部门负责人施密特(Joachim Schmidt)说，未来几个星期，新款E级旅行轿车将带来新的销售增长动力；这款车在11月21日上市，受到了客户的热烈欢迎。
Despite the recent increase, sales for the first 11 months of the year for the division comprising the Mercedes-Benz, Smart and Maybach nameplates were still down 12% from a year earlier at 1.02 million vehicles.
虽然近期销量上升，但梅赛德斯-奔驰公司今年前11个月由梅赛德斯-奔驰、Smart和迈巴赫(Maybach)这几个品牌形成的销量仍较去年同期下降12%，为102万辆。
The Mercedes-Benz brand, the world's second-best-selling luxury car maker by sales, posted a 19% sales rise in November to 88,600 cars. In the January-to-November period, sales were down 12% at 914,700 cars. Sales for the Smart minicar brand declined 3.8% in November to 9,800 cars, which translates to a 13% decrease to 107,000 vehicles for the 11 months.
梅赛德斯-奔驰是全球销量第二的热销豪华车品牌，11月销量为88,600辆，增长19%；1月到11月的销量为914,700辆，下降12%。Smart小型汽车11月份销量为9,800辆，下降3.8%，今年前11个月销量为107,000辆，下降13%。

Audi has said it expects China to outpace its German home turf as its largest sales region in 2012 or 2013.
奥迪曾表示，预计在2012年或2013年，中国将超过德国本土市场成为它的最大销售区域。
A spokesman for BMW AG said sales in China were up 40% last month at 8,470 cars.

宝马表示，1到11月在中国的销量为80,422辆，增长37%。核心品牌宝马占了7,980辆，增长36%。
