7 All kinds of cars

Chapter 7 All kinds of cars Every year the number of drivers multiplied- and so did their choice of cars. Two popular designs in the 1920s were the little Austin Seven and the larger Bullnose Morris.

每年司机的数量都成倍增加，他们选择的汽车也成倍增加。 20世纪20年代流行的两种设计是小奥斯汀七号和大牛鼻莫里斯。

In the 1930s, an Italian company, Fiat, made the world's smallest, mass-produced car. Inside, there was just enough room for two people. But then the nose had to be extended to make room for the engine. The car looked very cute. People called it Topolino, the Italian word for little mouse.

20世纪30年代，意大利公司菲亚特制造了世界上最小的量产汽车。 里面只有两个人的空间。 但是为了给引擎腾出空间，机头必须加长。 这辆车看起来很可爱。人们称它为Topolino，意为小老鼠。

The world's best-selling car was originally the idea of the German dictator, Hitler. In 1933, he ordered Ferdinand Porsche to design a very cheap family car. Porsche went to Ford's factory in America for inspiration. By 1936, he had come up with a groovy, curvy design. The car was nicknamed Beetle because it looked like one.

世界上最畅销的汽车最初是德国独裁者希特勒的想法。 1933年，他命令费迪南德·保时捷设计一款非常便宜的家用汽车。 保时捷去福特在美国的工厂寻找灵感。 到1936年，他想出了一个时髦的曲线设计。 这辆车的绰号是甲壳虫，因为它看起来像甲壳虫。

In the 1960s, a British design stole the limelight. It was a small box-shaped car with tiny wheels, named the Morris Mini Minor, or Mini for short. Competitions were held to see how many people could squeeze inside. There's room for one more! Europeans loved Topolinos, Beetles and Minis. They were affordable, full of character- and easy to park.

20世纪60年代，一款英国设计抢尽了风头。 这是一辆小盒子形状的小车，轮子很小，被命名为莫里斯迷你迷你车，简称Mini。 人们举行比赛，看能挤进多少人。 还有一个人的位置！欧洲人喜欢Topolinos，甲壳虫和mini。 它们价格实惠，富有特色，而且停车方便。
