一路同行，一路有你
「出差在外，你每天什麼時候最開心？」
「What was the happiest moment every day during your business trip?」
「應該是停車場空空蕩蕩，所有車都發走了的時候吧。」
「When the parking lot was empty and all the buses were sent out.」
舊金山灣區的12月是冷峭的。聖誕將至，居住的酒店也擺起了裝飾，張燈結綵。凌晨4點，天空中飄著瀝瀝淅淅的雨，長街上大門緊閉，沒有燈光，也沒什麼車輛。整個城市都在深深的沉睡中。一輛比亞迪服務車泛著昏黃的燈光，在高速上不快不慢地行駛著。薄薄的車窗擋不住侵人的寒氣，我裹了裹衣服，打開了車裡的暖氣。從住的地方到斯坦福大學的停車場，大概要25分鐘。昨天訂的備件已經到了，換上之後，今天所有車輛就都能運營發車了吧，我心裡暗暗想著。
It was freezing cold in December, the San Francisco Bay Area. The hotel I lived in was well decorated for the coming Christmas. At 4:00am, it was raining, dark and empty on the streets. The whole city was in a deep sleep. A dim light pierced the darkness from a BYD service vehicle, in which I was driving at leisure, heading to the parking lot of Stanford University. The heater was on in the 25 minutes』 drive, since I could not stand the cold outside the windows. 「The spare parts ordered yesterday have arrived. If they get replaced, all the buses can be sent out today,」 I thought to myself.
到了停車場，看著夜幕里的一台台大巴，忽然有一種涼涼的親切感。我穿著雨衣穿梭其中，雨水嗒嗒地打在車身上，也一滴一滴打在我的身上。啟動車輛，記錄里程，檢查車輛狀態，翻看行車日誌。
There was a familiar feeling when I arrived and saw the buses standing side by side in the darkness. The rain was pattering on each bus. With a raincoat on, I started them one by one to record the mileage, examine the vehicle state and look through the logbook.
待到將這裡的23台大巴全部啟動，檢查無誤後，我打給車輛運營處，告訴他們：「所有的大巴都可以發車了。」
After finishing the work, I rang up my colleagues of the vehicle operation department, 「All the buses are ready to go.」
「好的。非常感謝！」電話那頭回答道。
「Got it. Thank you so much,」 They replied.
我轉過頭，對身邊的美國同事Mike說：「還好，現在該去Facebook了。」
Then I turned to Mike, an American colleague by my side, and said, 「Time to head to Facebook now.」
「好，走吧！你應該休息下。我聽說你昨晚12點都還在開會。」Mike關心道。
「OK. Let』s go!」 Mike said, 「You should take a nap. I heard you were on a meeting at twelve last night.」
「是的。國內團隊需要了解更多我們這邊巴士的細節情況，我只是想將我知道的都告訴他們。」
「Yes. Our domestic team needs to know more details about our buses here, and I just want to tell them all I know.」
到了Facebook公司，那裡的C6M車輛已經走得差不多了。正巧碰見了Facebook負責現場車輛調度的Jason。他見我來了，便說:「你來的正是時候。我們今天早上有免費的早餐，一起去吃吧！」
When we arrived at Facebook, most C6Ms have been sent out. I happened to meet Jason, a Facebook employee in charge of on-site vehicle dispatching. 「You are lucky, man. We have free breakfast this morning,」 He said to me, 「Let』s go!」
進去食堂，選了一些吃的和一杯鮮榨橙汁，坐下和Jason攀談起來。待到餚核既盡，我一口乾了橙汁，感覺體力又恢復了，身體也沒那麼冷了。和Jason打完招呼後，我出門走向停在停車場的最後一台C6M，開始了新的一天。
I selected something to eat and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, sat down and chatted with Jason in the dining hall. Regaining my strength from the meal, I felt warmer and went out to the last C6M. A new day began.
這大概是所有在美出差的售後人員工作的縮影。早晨協助客戶發運車輛並做好記錄，白天趁著車輛充電的時候檢查或保養車輛、訂購備件，晚上回去整理維修記錄分享給同事，每一天都是緊張而充實的。那個時候就覺得自己是個醫生，用「聽診器」等工具進行診斷，確認「疾病」之後「對症下藥」，當然還要做好記錄和存檔，以便分析「發病率」。這樣的生活，苦則苦矣，但還是很有樂趣的。
It is the epitome of our work. After-sales engineers in America need to assist clients to dispatch our vehicles and make records early in the morning, take charge of inspection and maintenance when recharging vehicles and ordering spare parts in the daytime, and sort out maintenance records as well as share with colleagues in the evening. At that time, I felt I was a 「doctor」 who 「diagnosed」 the vehicles through a 「stethoscope」, figured out 「appropriate treatment」, made a record and kept an archive to analyze the 「incidence」. The fulfilling life was demanding but interesting.
當然，工作之餘還是有生活的。尤其是假期的時候，可以好好放鬆一下，駕車出遊賓士在公路上，體驗一下自駕游。美國幅員遼闊，地廣人稀，名勝景點眾多，實在是遊山玩水的好地方。就以洛杉磯附近為例，駕車遊玩的可以去死亡谷，拉斯維加斯，優勝美地，金門大橋，惡魔島，大熊湖等等。只要你的心在路上，你的腳步就永遠不會停下。閑暇時，大家聚個餐，做幾個菜，聊一聊生活中的見聞，工作中的苦悶和想家的孤獨就隨著笑聲飛得越來越遠了。
After work, we would relax ourselves especially during the holidays. A road trip is worth trying. America covers a vast territory with a sparse population and many places of interest and near Los Angeles there are Death Valley, Las Vegas, Yosemite, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Great Bear Lake, etc. When your heart is on the way, you will never stop. At our leisure, we would cook and dine together, during which our depression and homesickness would be taken away by the laughter.
我是2014年畢業入職，加入比亞迪美洲汽車銷售事業部新能源售後服務部的，算起來滿3年了。2016年1月至2016年8月，2016年11月至2017年5月，我兩次出差美國，兩次都在美國過了新年。文章開頭講述的，就是2016年12月在美國灣區出差時的真實經歷。美國出差的生活是辛苦的，尤其是當你一個人在一個市場，一個人去面對客戶，身邊連一個說中文的人都沒有的時候，壓力和挑戰還是蠻大的。可能家人在團聚過年的時候，我們還在車底下吃灰檢查底盤；可能別人還在夢鄉酣睡的時候，我們已經爬上了車頂檢查空調。那些披星戴月的日子裡，在無邊的夜幕下，難免會覺得有些黯然。不過幸運的是，我們永遠不是一個人，而是一個強大可靠的團隊，無論什麼時候，都有人在背後支持著你。你不會被遺忘，也不會被辜負。我想這不僅是美洲，不僅是我們新能源售後服務部，而是整個比亞迪能一步一步走到現在的原因。
It has been over three years since I joined BYD and became a member of America Auto Sales Division in 2014. From January to August in 2016, and from November to May in 2017, I have been on business trips to America and spent two Spring Festivals there. The experience mentioned above was during the second trip. It was a big challenge for any of us to serve our customers alone in a market without any partner around. When our family were celebrating the festival together, we were under the vehicle examining the chassis; when others were sleeping soundly, we were on top of the vehicle examining the air conditioner. Each of us may be the only figure in the curtain of darkness, but fortunately, none of us is really alone. When we need support, the strong and dependable team behind will never fail us. I believe that every team in BYD is the same, and team spirit is one of the reasons why BYD can get to where it is today.
現在公司的電動車遍布美國東西海岸，這其中有像丹佛的商場代步巴士，有像羚羊谷交通運輸局的公交大巴，也有像斯坦福大學和Facebook公司這樣的內部通勤巴士，這一切都是千萬比亞迪員工共同奮鬥耕耘的結果。當看到一輛輛比亞迪車疾馳在美國的公路上，內心是受到鼓舞的，臉上是綻放笑容的。我相信，青春的汗水不會白流，幸福和驕傲都會擁有。希望能與比亞迪一起走下去，一路前行，一路有你。
Thanks to the joint endeavor of BYD people, our electric buses are running in many places. Some are in Denver』s shopping malls, some are operated by AVTA (Antelope Valley Transit Authority), and some are serving as shuttle buses in Stanford and Facebook. We are so excited to see them running on the roads in America. No pain, no gain. I will continue to fight with my team members, and always be with you, BYD!
