为什么皮卡汽车的名字一定要采用pick-up呢？

为什么皮卡汽车的名字一定要采用pick-up呢？

皮卡是pick up的音译，亦轿亦卡（既有轿车的舒适性，又有卡车载货实用性）
至于老外怎么想就不清楚了。
History of Pick-up
The first factory-assembled pickup was based on the Ford Model T car, with a modified rear body. It debuted in 1925 and sold for US$281. Henry Ford billed it as the "Ford Model T Runabout with Pickup Body." The 34,000 built that first year featured a cargo box, adjustable tailgate, four stake pockets and heavy-duty rear springs.[4]
In 1928, the Model A replaced the Model T, introducing the first closed-cab pickup. It sported innovations like a safety glass windshield, roll-up side windows and three-speed transmission. It was powered by a four-cylinder L-head engine capable of 40 horsepower (30 kW).[citation needed]
In 1932, Ford Australia was produced the first Australian "ute".[5]
In 1932, the 65 horsepower (48 kW) Ford flathead V8 engine was offered as an option in the truck. By 1936, Ford had already produced 3 million trucks and led the industry in sales.[citation needed]参考资料：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_truck#History

皮卡后面的货箱就是为了装东西啊

在外国就是捡垃圾的车，嘿嘿！
皮卡；轻型货车 A pick-up or a pick-up truck is a small truck with low sides that can be easily loaded and unloaded.追问呵呵那是个定义，是谁首先用这名的？追答皮卡，是中文，当然是中国人首先用的了，音译吗。

外文翻译成中文大部分是不能直译的，就像网上很多恶搞这种类型的语言笑话。可以理解为装载，国外的皮卡就是农场主或者之类的人拉箱载货用的。所以名字就直接那么叫了。哪像国内，拉东西干脆都用微型或者轻卡了，风土人情不一样。追问是谁首先这么叫的？追答不知道你现在到底想知道什么。就跟问ok这个词是谁发明出来的一样。外国人先这么叫的。
