Jaguar (the car)

[SeekerOfPeace]

Is their a Chinese equivalent for a Jaguar (the luxurious car)?

You mean a translation for the brand name, or a Chinese manufacturer of luxury cars. And if tell us why you want to know, you look friendlier

I mean the translation of the brand name.

As for your question:

And if tell us why you want to know, you look friendlier

:

It's from the Cather in the rye:

"He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe. He just got a

Jaguar."

I would like to explain to some Chinese people the meaning of "Jaguar" but I want to be more specific than just saying: "It's an expensive car".

Google 'jaguar china' and you'll find the car is called 捷豹. Good translation, I think.

[zozzen]

if you want the name of car manufacturers which are famous for making expensive cars in china, it's 寶馬 (BMW), 奔馳 (Benz) and Ferrari (法拉利). I seldom meet any chinese who don't know them, Jaguar and Rolls-Royce aren't as famous as them yet.

捷豹. Good translation, I think

What is the literal translation of these two characters, I'm thinking Agility, Tiger - or something like that

Ok, thank you.
