Car firms clash over Bond credentials
James Bond almost had a love affair with his Bentleys, almost more important than his conquests of women
A genteel disagreement about whether James Bond prefers Bentleys to Aston Martin has raised eyebrows in the world of luxurious cars.
In this year's Bond-film, Quantum of Solace, actor Daniel Craig will be back behind the wheel of an Aston Martin DBS. (A well publicised fact, not least since a delivery-driver recently accidentally drove one of them into a lake.)
In books, the commander has been even less loyal, in part because Mr Fleming's novels were supplemented with Bond-books by other authors - Kingsley Amis under the pseudonym Robert Markham, John Pearson, John Gardner and Raymond Benson - and now, Sebastian Faulks.

簡要翻譯如下:
汽車公司槓上龐德的招牌
龐德幾乎像要和Bentley名牌車鬧誹聞般的比他的龐德女郎還要鍾意Bentley名牌車.
一個上流社會的爭論,有關是否龐德比Aston Martin名牌車更鍾意Bentley名牌車的議題,在世界名牌車界興起了一陣討論的風潮.
在今年的007龐德電影-Quantum of Solace(龐德2008年新電影名稱,暫譯為量子的安慰)中,男主角丹尼爾‧克萊格將在電影中重新駕駛Aston Martin的DBS型車.(不久前,還發生運送Aston Martin的DBS型車的駕駛員把運送中的Aston Martin名牌車誤駛入湖中的事件.)
最後一段只是說龐德原書作著IanFlemingde的共著者Kingsley Amis 老是一直換筆名,比龐德對車子品牌的忠誠度還低.我就不逐字翻了.
我雖沒看電影,但想來可能是龐德電影都一直使用Aston Martin名牌車,但上一部電影改用Bentley名牌車,而今年最新電影又改回Aston Martin名牌車,才會有這些爭議吧.

Bentley和Aston Martin都是有名的英國名牌車,因龐德是英國人,當然要選英國車了.

James Bond就是007電影的主角詹姆士‧龐德,我想大家都認識,所以譯文中都簡稱龐德,不再寫全名-詹姆士‧龐德了.
