世界名牌博览：哈雷戴维森
时间：2018-12-28 作者：英语课 分类：世界名牌博览
最初的哈雷是在1903年由21岁的威廉·哈雷和20岁的阿瑟·戴维森在一间小木屋里“攒”出来的，并以两个人的姓氏命名为“哈雷·戴维森”。如今哈雷摩托已经行销到200多个国家。哈雷车金属的质感、优美的线条和令人迷惑的颜色搭配以及电镀和黑漆的对比，甚至那烫人的排气管、震耳欲聋却“如音乐般”的轰鸣声，无一不符合一个男人在梦中对力量和自由的物化的想象。
Harley-Davidson is an American motorbike maker 1 that has established a cult 2 following for its machines. It was founded by William S. Harley and his childhood friend Arthur Davidson in 1901. They spent several years trying to make a motorbike that would sell. They started production in 1907 in their factory in Milwaukee, which is still the company headquarters today. The company has survived despite America’s Great Depression and competition from Japanese companies that finished off most of the world’s other motorcycle makers 3. Harley produces big bikes (over 750cc) designed for cruising. They have a distinctive 4 Harley rumbling 5 noise. The company has a very loyal following, which it develops through HOG 6 – the Harley Owners Group. The company’s 2009 revenue was over $4 billion. Almost 5% of this was from the licensing 7 of its logo.
