VOLVO SAAB的意思|示意

Like Saab, Volvo sits uncomfortably between the volume producers and such marques as Audi, BMW and Mercedes.

同萨博一样，沃尔沃艰难地夹杂在批量生产与诸如奥迪、宝马、奔驰等品牌之间。

The deal ends more than a year of uncertainty for Sweden's car industry since Volvo and Saab were put up for sale by their US owners.

对瑞典汽车业来说，这宗交易也结束了自一年多前美国拥有者宣布要出售沃尔沃和萨博（Saab）以来的不确定时期。

GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Between Sweden's two main carmakers, as I reported in The Times on Tuesday, Saab Automobile has hit hard times, while Volvo Cars appears to be going great guns.

正如我在周二发表于时代周刊上的文章所述，瑞典的哥德堡所拥有的两大汽车厂商有着截然不同的现状，萨博正遭遇着前所未有的困难，而沃尔沃已经准备好大干一场了！

It's OK to think long and hard about whether to get married, move to a new city, or to have a child, but when you're deciding between that Saab and a Volvo, don't give yourself more than a few days.

每一个决定都要耗费大脑的精力。可以对是否要结婚、移居新城市、或生孩子做长期做仔细长期考虑。但是当你决定买沃尔沃还是萨博，那么时间不要超过数天。

Yet Saab has lost money for years and Volvo has been only marginally profitable.

多年来萨博一直入不敷出，沃尔沃也只是收获微薄的盈利。

But with an election in September and Ford's sale of Volvo to Geely, a Chinese carmaker, imminent, it concluded that keeping Saab going was the lesser of two evils.

但是在9月份选举和福特的沃尔沃出售给中国汽车制造商吉利迫在眉睫。由此可以得出结论，保住萨博是两害取其轻。
