Honda Motor Co's U.S. unit said on Tuesday it would move production of its Accord sedan to Indiana in 2025 after assembling the model in Marysville, Ohio for more than 40 years, as part of its shift to electric vehicle (EV) production.Marysville will be Honda's first U.S. auto plant to transition to making EVs. 据路透社报道称，本田汽车美国分公司于本周二表示，雅阁轿车已经在俄亥俄州的马里斯维尔工厂组装大约40年，作为向电动汽车转型的一部分，雅阁轿车的生产将在2025年转移到印第安纳州。马里斯维尔工厂，将成为本田旗下第一家转向制造电动汽车的美国工厂。 The move comes after Honda and South Korea's LG Energy Solution Ltd in October announced they would build planned $4.4 billion joint-venture battery plant at a site near Jeffersonville, Ohio and broke ground earlier this month. 去年10月，本田和韩国的LG能源解决方案宣布，在俄亥俄州杰斐逊维尔附近的一个地点建造计划中的44亿美元的合资电池厂，该电池厂于本月早些时候破土动工。马里斯维尔工厂向制造电动汽车转型的举措，紧随本田和韩国的LG能源解决方案的合资电池厂之后。 The battery plant, to be completed by the end of 2024, will cover more than 2 million square feet (185,806 square meters) and aims for about 40 Gigawatt hours (GWh) of annual production capacity. 上述电池工厂将于2024年完工，占地约200万平方英尺（185806平方米），目标年产能约40吉瓦时 (GWh)。 Honda said last year it was separately investing $700 million to retool three Ohio plants for electric vehicle production by 2026, including Marysville. 去年，本田曾表示， 为在2026年生产电动汽车，单独投资了7亿美元对三家位于俄亥俄州的工厂的极其设备进行了重新装配，其中就包括马里斯维尔工厂。 Marysville will begin preparing for EV production as early as January by consolidating its two production lines to one to enable it to begin building the EV infrastructure, the company said. 本田表示，马里斯维尔工厂最早将于2024年1月开始准备电动汽车的生产，将其两条生产线合并为一条线，以使其能够开始建设电动汽车的基础设施。 Honda began assembling the Accord at its Marysville in November 1982, making it the first Japanese automaker to produce cars in the United States. It has since produced more than 12.5 million Accords at the Ohio plant. 本田于1982年11月开始在马里斯维尔工厂装配雅阁轿车，使得其成为第一家在美国生产汽车的日本汽车厂商。自此之后，在俄亥俄州的工厂，本田已经生产了超过1250万辆雅阁轿车。 In 1989, the Accord was the first Japanese model to hold the title of best-selling U.S. car, with 362,700 vehicles sold. 1989 年，雅阁以362,700辆的销量成为第一款获得美国最畅销汽车称号的日本车型。 In recent years, Americans have been moving away from sedans to sport utility and crossover vehicles. Honda sold 154,600 Accords in the U.S. last year, down 24 per cent from 2021. 近年来，美国人已经从轿车转向运动型多功能车和跨界车。去年，本田在美国售出了154,600 辆雅阁，比2021年下降24%。 Honda said Accord production will be transferred to its Indiana auto plant, which builds the Civic Hatchback and CR-V. 本田表示，雅阁的生产将转移到旗下印第安纳州的汽车工厂，该工厂生产思域Hatchback和 CR-V。 Honda's transmission plant in Georgia will dedicate one production line to e-axle production - a key EV component - and its Anna, Ohio engine plant will shift production of some engine components to a Honda engine plant in Alabama to prepare for production of battery cases for EV models, the company said. 本田表示，佐治亚州的变速箱工厂将专门安排1条生产线生产电动汽车的关键部件E-axle。为生产电动汽车车型的电池壳做准备，旗下位于俄亥俄州安娜的发动机工厂将把一些发动机部件的生产转移到阿拉巴马州的发动机工厂。 1、sedan 小轿车，（三厢四门）轿车 2、transition 过渡，转变 3、joint-venture 合营企业，合资企业 4、consolidate 合并，使加强 5、best-selling 畅销品 6、battery case 电池壳 |
