歷史今天:1908年第一輛福特T型車問世

【英文原文】

The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie and Flivver) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile came into popular usage. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that "put America on wheels"; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting, as well as the concept of paying the workers a wage proportionate to the cost of the car, so that they would provide a ready made market. The first production Model T was built on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan.

【中文譯文】

福特T型車（ 俗稱罐式小汽車 ）是1908年至1927年期間由亨利福特的福特汽車公司生產的。T型車的出現將1908年變爲對汽車行業具有重大歷史意義的一年，因爲在這一年汽車得到廣泛應用。T型車被視爲第一種老百姓負擔得起的汽車， “讓美國行走在汽車輪子上”的汽車。很大一部分原因是來自福特汽車的改革創新，改革涵蓋了整套生產線而不是個別工位，以及支付工人與汽車銷售額相符合的報酬的工資體系，這樣便讓他們擴大了市場佔有率。1908年9月27日，第一生產T型車生產線建立於密歇根州底特律的Piquette工廠。
