Chinese wallpaper paste with windscreen wipers
带雨刮器的壁纸白胶 无聊透顶的中国制造

It is extremely easy to be very uninterested in the latest offering from the enormous Chinese car company BYD. Which stands, revoltingly, for Build Your Dreams. It is just five metres of car. Wallpaper paste with windscreen wipers. Yes, it’s made in a factory that’s bigger than San Francisco, and yes, every component apart from the tyres is made in-house, and I’m sure that’s very fascinating if you’re an accountant. But I’m not.

在初窥之下，我很快发现来自中国的大型汽车制造商比亚迪提供的最新产品相当无趣。“BYD”代表的是摆明了扯犊子的“造就你的梦想”，因为他们送来的东西是一台5米长的、带雨刷器的壁纸胶。虽说制造它的工厂比旧金山还要大，而且除了轮胎，每个零部件都是比亚迪自主生产的；如果你是个会计，你会对它很感兴趣，但我不是，也不喜欢它。

I had one for a whole week and after it was taken away, if you’d asked me to describe it, I would have said, “It was car-shaped.” But we’ve been here before. Back in the Seventies, various companies we’d never heard of such as Datsun and Toyota started sending us car-shaped cars from their factories in Japan. And we scoffed at them because they were just so appallingly dull.

这台“壁纸胶”曾在我家门口停了一周时间，如果要我去形容它，我只能说它“长得像台车”。但我们也见过类似的情况：回到上世纪七十年代，很多英国人没听过的车企-例如达琦桑（日产）和丰田开始把他们“长得像台车”的新车从日本工厂一路运到英国。那时候我们还一直嘲笑那些车企，因为他们当时造的车实在是无聊到可怕。

But they had a trick up their sleeves. Unlike our Fords and Austins, these car-shaped cars started. Even on a frosty morning, their crummy little engines would spring into life after only the tiniest prod from the starter motor. And they never went wrong.

但他们也有自己的绝活。不像当年在英国售卖的福特和奥斯汀，那些看起来不咋地的小玩意总能正常启动。即便在某个冻到挂霜的清晨，那些小不点引擎在启动机轻轻的戳动下总能被成功唤醒，而且从未出过任何故障。

And lo, it came to pass that for vast numbers of motorists this kind of thing mattered. We’d been led to believe that breakdowns were inevitable because cars were complex things, but here was Datsun showing us that this needn’t be the case. And so we bought them in huge numbers.

于是，人们开始意识到汽车的低故障率是很重要的。我们一度认为汽车的构造如此复杂，有个别东西坏掉是不可避免的，但以日产为代表的那些厂商向我们展示了车子是可以做到十分可靠的，因此这些新品的销量节节攀升。

Today all cars are reliable, so the Chinese can’t use that as bait to entice us into their showrooms. Instead they’ve come up with a different approach. Price. We’ve been led to believe, especially in recent years, that cars are bound to be expensive because they’re very technical. But now we have the car you see in the pictures and prices start at a scarcely believable £34,990 for the Boost trim. For a large plug-in hybrid it’s extraordinary value for money. That’s about four grand less than Skoda charges for a similarly sized Superb Estate.

现如今，所有的新车的质量都很好，所以中国人不能以这一点来引流，于是他们想出了另一个方法：打价格战。尤其是近年来，我们一度认为汽车理应就很贵，因为它们集成了非常多的尖端技术。但你在照片中看到的这台车起售价仅需34990英镑（约合人民币32万8千元），对于一台大空间的插混旅行车来说，这个性价比可太高了，它比尺寸相当的斯柯达昊锐旅行版要便宜了整整4000英镑（约合人民币3万7千元）。

It’s called the Seal 6, which is the name of the special forces unit that killed Osama bin Laden. I’ve no idea why the Chinese would name a medium-sized estate car after this elite fighting unit. Maybe they didn’t realise. This sort of thing can happen. Remember that unfortunate Swiss start-up that built a car and called it the Growler?

它叫做海豹06，这个名字跟击毙本拉登（恐怖分子，“9·11事件”总策划）的特种部队同名。我不知道为什么比亚迪要拿特种部队的名字放在一台中等尺寸的旅行车上，或许是因为他们没有意识到这一点。这种事情有过先例，还记得当年在节目里被吐槽的、某家瑞士初创公司推出的、叫做“Growler（英国俚语中指女性的阴部）”的新车吗？

So anyway, the Seal 6. Why’s it so cheap? Well, there’s nothing you can put your finger on. It has seats and a touchscreen and you can unlock the doors by tapping your phone on the door mirror and so on. But there is a sense that every component was built as cheaply as possible. The fabrics. The springing in the seats. The way the tyres sound and feel as you drive along. It all feels desperately, Vauxhall Vectrishinly, uninspiring. But so did those Datsuns back in ’75.

无论如何，这台海豹06为什么这么便宜？乍一看很难理解，它有多个座椅和触摸大屏，还可以实现站在后视镜处通过手机APP中的开关来解锁车辆等功能。但你能感觉到车内的所有部件都是以尽可能廉价的方式生产而来的，例如车内能摸到的各种面料、座椅内部的弹簧、驾驶时轮胎发出的噪音和你能感觉到的一切，都透露着一股了无生机的、跟当年的沃尔斯豪尔Vectra一样的无趣，这种特质在1975年的老日产上也能找到。

It also feels slow. Most plug-in hybrids use the petrol engine and the electric motor to propel you along the road, but in the Seal 6 the engine is mostly there to charge the batteries. Only when you put your foot hard down does it connect itself to the wheels and work in unison with the motor.

它开起来的感觉很慢。大部分插混电动车都是用内燃机与电动机共同驱动车辆前行，但是海豹06的内燃机在大多数时间里都用于发电，除非你把电门踩到底，引擎才会与轮子连接，和电机一起推动车辆加速。

When the two are working together in the Comfort Lite version I tested you have 209 brake horsepowers, which is enough to get you from 0 to 62mph in about a week. If you want to take longer than that, there’s a less powerful alternative. On electrical power only, the Comfort Lite has a claimed range of 62 miles. And there are some tax benefits. I don’t know what they are and I don’t care because I’m a car journalist, not, as I mentioned earlier, an accountant.

当内燃机与电动机同时工作时，我测试的这款Comfort Lite版能爆发出212匹马力，给它们一周时间总能把海豹06从静止推动到100km/h。如果你想要动力更小的版本，比亚迪也能提供。在纯电模式下，我的这台测试车根据厂商数据拥有100公里的续航里程。除此之外，英国政府还提供一定的税收优惠政策，但我也不在乎这些，毕竟我是个汽车记者，而不是前面提过的会计。

As a result of that, I can report that on the excitement-o-meter, the Seal 6 is about as far removed from the Seal 6 special forces unit as it’s possible to imagine. It is wilfully dull to drive. There’s no joy at all, and if you try to enliven proceedings with a bit of extra speed, it becomes wayward and bolshie.

因此，我可以告诉大家，海豹06与海豹6号突击队带来的刺激感之间的差异可以说是天壤之别。它开起来无聊透顶，毫无乐趣，哪怕你加速想让它活跃起来，车子的难以控制也会让你彻底失望。

I get that. If you want a new car and are strapped for cash, then the Seal 6 is fine. It won’t explode, it won’t crash every time you go round a corner, it won’t dissolve in heavy rain and it does have a very big boot. So it’s like a £5.50 bottle of wine. For most people it’s fine.

我能理解它的设定，如果你想要一台新车但手头又比较拮据，那么海豹06还算不错。它不会爆炸，每次过弯也不会撞车，更不会在暴雨中自行溶解，而且后备箱空间巨大。它就像超市里5.5英镑（约合人民币51元）的红酒，对大部分普通人来说已经挺不错了。

But it does have one issue that drove me up the wall: a little camera on one of the A-pillars around the windscreen that looks at your face as you drive and then sends messages to the dashboard if it thinks you’re not paying enough attention to the job in hand.

但海豹06有一个问题让我很抓狂：它在驾驶员侧的A柱上有个小摄像头，能在驾驶时盯着你的脸，如果它觉得你开车时注意力不集中，就会发送警告到仪表盘上提醒你。

I suspect in China this might be necessary because the last time I was there I was told that every driver is photographed and videoed constantly on the motorways because so many of them alleviate the boredom on a long journey by, how can I put this, pleasuring themselves.

我猜这个配置在中国是有必要的，因为上一次我们去中国录节目时，有人告诉我中国的每个驾驶员都会在路上被经常拍照或录像，而部分司机为了缓解长途驾驶的疲劳感，我该怎么说呢，在开车的同时会“聊以自慰”。

Is this true? I asked my air fryer for more information on the matter and it stated categorically that there had only been one case. My Chinese AI system says the same. But I can only report on what I was told.

所以真的会这样吗？我向自家的空气炸锅询问了这个问题，它反馈的结果是根据官方数据，中国只发生过1起类似的事件，而我的另一个中文AI助手也给出了同样的结果，但我只能分享我所接收到的内容，一切以实际情况为准。

Is that why there’s a camera on board? And what message is flashed up if you do, you know, have a moment of “me” time? I don’t know. And I didn’t try to find out. What I did discover is that if you take your eyes off the road for even a moment, you get a bong and a written instruction telling you to correct your behaviour. And here’s where it gets really annoying. If you look down to read the warning message, you are then told to pay attention to the road.

这就是为什么海豹06的车内要装摄像头吗？如果你有片刻“放飞自我”的时间，它会弹出什么样的提示呢？我不知道，也没去尝试。我发现的情况是，哪怕你的视线偏离道路一瞬间，车机就开始警报，仪表盘也开始提醒你纠正自己的行为。这就很烦人了，如果你低头看仪表盘里的具体信息，它又会让你把视线移回至道路上。

I’m sure this can all be disabled but God knows how many warnings you’d get if you tried to do that while you were driving along. I was even reprimanded for looking left and right as I approached a junction. In the end I parked it after 13 miles and used the Ineos Grenadier instead.

我知道那些安全保姆可以关闭，但在一边开车的时候还要去关掉那些烦人的系统，天知道有多少设置要去调，就连我开到路口看来往的车辆时都被车机训斥了。最终我只忍受了20公里，就把车停回去，换了台英力士掷弹兵接着开。

So, there you are. A plug-in hybrid that captures the essence of the Datsun Sunny and the Vauxhall Vectra and serves it up on a nanny-state bed of bossing and bullying. Not my cup of tea, then, on every single level. But it costs from only £34,990. So it could very well be yours.

所以，这就是我对海豹06的全部评价了。一台整合了日产阳光和沃克斯豪尔Vectra精髓的无聊插电混动车，诞生于一个充斥着专横与霸凌的保姆式体制。海豹06并不是我的菜，从任何一个层面来看都是如此。但它的起售价仅为34990英镑（约合人民币32万8千元），如果你有刚需，那就萝卜青菜，各有所爱吧。
