The "Made in Germany" brand is alive and well at BMW, which recorded another sales volume record in the third quarter. But concerns about China's economy dominate and the uncertainty could prompt a weakening outlook.
就寶馬(BMW)的情形而言，“德國制作”這塊招牌仍然具備很強的號令力。本年第三季度，該公司銷量再次創下記載。然則，今朝人們廣泛對中國經濟覺得擔憂，這類不肯定性大概會使該公司的遠景遭到影響。
The Munich-based premium carmaker said operating profit rose 4.3 per cent from a year ago to ㈠.35bn in the third quarter, ahead of forecasts at ㈠.16bn
這家總部處於慕尼黑的豪車制作商表現，本年第三季度的業務利潤同比增加4.3%，至23.5億歐元，高於21.6億歐元的猜測值。
Revenues accelerated 14 per cent to ㈠2.35bn, matching estimates. Profit before tax rose "significantly", up 12.8 per cent to ㈠.26bn.
業務收入增加14%，至223.5億歐元，相符預期。稅前利潤“大幅”增加12.8%，至22.6億歐元。
The company cited particular growth in the US and Europe, saying that the latter is "becoming increasingly capable of compensating for the slower growth rate in China." It forecasts the world's automobile market to grow by a total of 2.1 per cent in 2015.
寶馬提到，公司在美國和歐洲的增加尤其迅猛，稱歐洲市場“正變得愈發可以或許抵消中國增速放緩的影響。”寶馬估計，2015年環球汽車市場的整體增加率將為2.1%。
BMW said "turbulence on China's stock markets was a source of much concern" as the country's stock market lost trillions of dollars worth of equity value from mid-June, giving rise to worries about growth in the world's second largest economy. "There is growing uncertainty as to how China's economy will perform in the future. If Chinese market conditions become more challenging, we cannot rule out a possible effect on our outlook," the company said.
寶馬表現：“中國股市的動蕩激發很大擔心。”自6月中旬以來，中國股市市值蒸發了數萬億美元，使人愈發擔憂天下第二大經濟體的增加。“至於中國經濟將來表示得如何，這個題目的不肯定性愈來愈大。假如中國市場情況變得更具挑釁性，咱們不克不及消除公司的遠景大概會遭到影響，”寶馬稱。
In the first nine months of the year, sales grew by 7.5 per cent, led by a double-digit gain in Europe, which accounts for 45 per cent of sales, and an 8.6 per cent rise in Asia ex-China, which takes a 13 per cent share. Sales in China, which account for more than a fifth of global sales, rose only 2 per cent (see graphic below).
本年前三個季度，寶馬銷量增長了7.5%，歐洲市場增幅最大，為兩位數。歐洲市場占寶馬總銷量的45%。在除中國以外的亞洲市場，寶馬銷量增長了8.6%，這塊市場的占比為13%。而在銷量占比逾五分之一的中國市場，寶馬銷量增幅僅為2%(拜見下圖)。
