| 词源 | Toyota. The very popular Japanese car would be called a Toy- oda if its manufacturers in the early 1930s hadn’t been supersti- tious. The Toyoda family wanted to name their car after the family, but Toyoda needs 10 characters in Japanese writing, while Toyota needs only eight. As eight is a lucky number in Ja- pan, the family actually changed its name to Toyota, and the car’s lucky name was born. |
