I understand that the translation of 'Ford Taurus' into Chinese '福特金牛座' is a clever example of linguistics. The 'Ford' part is directly transliterated into Chinese as '福特', which is a conventional treatment of brand names, sounding smooth and familiar; while 'Taurus' in English is the name of a zodiac constellation, meaning 'bull', but in Chinese translation, it wasn't directly translated as 'bull'. Instead, the commonly used zodiac term '金牛座' (Taurus) was adopted, as it is widely recognized in Chinese culture and evokes positive associations of wealth and strength. In the automotive field, this combination of transliteration and free translation is quite common, similar to how 'Honda Accord' or 'Toyota Camry' are handled, aiming to make the names more relatable to the local market and avoid the awkwardness of direct transliterations like 'Tuoluosi'. This choice enhances consumer memorability and is a standard strategy for the localization of multinational brands. While studying automotive terminology, I've noticed that localized names facilitate sales and help models integrate into daily life more easily.
