宝腾

什么会降临到宝腾－这个马来西亚苦苦挣扎的汽车制造商身上？

What will become of proton , malaysia 's struggling carmaker ?

问题在于宝腾不仅仅是一个沉疴在身的汽车制造商，而且由于卷入了马哈蒂尔与阿卜杜拉？

The trouble is that Proton is not just an ailing carmaker .

近几周由于宝腾现金消耗殆尽，危机已进一步加剧。

The crisis has intensified in recent weeks because proton 's cash is running out .

随着他们的二手车价值急剧的下降，即使是当地的消费者也受够了宝腾汽车。

Even local consumers have become fed up with proton 's cars , with their sharply declining second-hand values .

宝腾建立了年产量能达到100万台的工厂，还将发行一定数量的车型。

Proton has built factories capable of churning out1m cars a year and has launched a range of models .

在一个由少数年产300～600万辆汽车的全球巨头占主导地位的产业领域内，宝腾依然是个“小不点”。

In an industry dominated by a handful of global giants , each producing3m-6m cars a year , Proton remains a minnow [ 3 ] .

外国买主兴趣大多是进入市场，而非宝腾的工厂，他们的车型或者那些坚持认为只需再来一些资金就可以让公司运转的刚愎自用的经理们。

Foreign buyers would be interested mainly in access to the market , not in proton 's factories , models or headstrong managers , who insist that a little more investment is all that is needed to turn the firm around .
