【编者按】 以下我们将对美式英语中的常见的车型做一简介。
 

Smart ForTwo

Straddling the boundary between car and motorbike, these vehicles have engines under 1.0 litre, typically seat only two passengers, and are sometimes unorthodox in construction. Some microcars are three-wheelers, while the majority have four wheels. Microcars were popular in postwar Europe, where their appearance led them to be called "Bubble cars". A descendant of the traditional microcar is the modern Smart Fortwo.

【中文注解】

微型轿车，是一种处于轿车与摩托车之间的车型，这些车型的排量在1升以下，一般可载2人，有时这种车并非制造得太合乎规范。有一些微型车仅有三个轮，而绝大多数有4个轮。这种车在二战之后的欧洲相当流行，由于它们的独特外观，当地人爱称他们为“泡泡车”。如今继承了传统的最流行的微型轿车当属Smart Fortwo了。
