Recently the NHK News on-line reported the following:
アメリカの自動車メーカー、ＧＭ＝ゼネラル・モーターズは、１９日、去年の世界全体の販売台数が前の年より７．６％増えて９０２万５９００台余りになったと発表し、４年ぶりに販売台数が世界一となるのが確実になりました。これまでトップだったトヨタ自動車は、去年の販売台数について７９０万台との見通しを示していることから、ドイツのフォルクスワーゲンの８１６万台にも抜かれて、３位以下に転落する見通しです。
(試譯文)
On the 19th, the American automaker the GM: General Motors announced that their sales in the entire world last year was 9,025,900, an increase of 7.6% compared with last year; and it became certain that the volume of sales was the world's No. one, for GM for the first time in four years.
Toyota Motor, which was at the top up to now had indicated that it would have a sales volume of 7,900,000 cars last year, it would be displaced by Volkswagen of Germany that had 8,160,000 cars and was expected to fall below the 3rd place.
This outcome is not surprising to the Japanese. A few months ago Toyota already expected that GM would be the world leader in the car production industry again. Would this also prove that the US economy is gradually recovering?
