你上次买英国制造的产品是什么时候？
When was the last time you purchased a product "Made in Britain"?
译文简介
我昨天和一个朋友讨论了英国制造业的衰落，除了食品和饮料，我们都想不出最近我们买的什么东西是英国制造的。
正文翻译
I was having a discussion on the decline of British manufacturing with a friend yesterday and outside of obviously food/drink products, neither of us could think of anything we have purchased in recent history that said "Made in Britain" on the box. Plenty of things I own are made in China, Japan, USA, Indonesia etc. but I couldn't think of a single thing that was made in UK.
我昨天和一个朋友讨论了英国制造业的衰落，除了食品和饮料，我们都想不出最近我们买的什么东西是英国制造的。我的很多东西都是中国、日本、美国、印度尼西亚等国制造的，但我想不出有什么是英国制造的。
Interested in what other people have to say on this and what popular products made in the UK are used by Reddit users?

Made in Britain! Of course
英国制造！当然
Yep, 'made in Britain' stuff just reminds me of this skit from Family Guy,
是的，“英国制造”的东西让我想起了《恶搞之家》

The boxes of expensive Games Workshop plastic crack sat next to me
昂贵的游戏工坊的塑料盒子就在我旁边
Please keep buying, I've just bought shares in them.
请继续买，我刚买了他们的股票。
I own a (very tiny) plastic model kit manufacturing business too, and all our kits are made in the UK. We have a really fantastic supply chain for hobby products here, with lots of very experienced and efficient suppliers many of whom are located pretty centrally (in Nottingham often.) You can thank the likes of Games Workshop for that, as many of these companies were GW suppliers in the early days before GW had its own in house facilities, and now these companies supply the smaller brands, including me!
We're a great country to make models in!
我拥有一家（非常小的）塑料模型套件制造企业，所有的套件都是在英国制造的。这里有一个非常棒的业余产品供应链，有很多有经验、效率高的供应商，其中许多供应商相当集中。你可以为此感谢游戏工坊之类的公司，因为在游戏工坊拥有自己的内部设施之前许多公司都是游戏工坊的供应商，而现在这些公司供应较小的品牌，包括我！
我们是个制作模型的伟大国家！
It's worth checking your toiletries. My mouthwash is made in the UK, toothpaste has reasonable odds for being from the UK too.
可以检查下你的洗漱用品。我的漱口水是英国制造的，牙膏也很可能是英国的。
Shoes - although they tend to actually say "Made in England" in them.
Similarly some suits.
鞋子——尽管他们倾向于说是“英格兰制造”
还有些外套。
Yep, the Loakes (outlet shop, I'm not made of money) I'm currently wearing were made in England.
Have to say, after years of cheap shoes, these are astonishingly good.
是的，我现在穿的Loakes（特惠店买的，我不是有钱人）就是英国制造的。
不得不说，在穿了多年的廉价鞋后，让我觉得Loakes特别好
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
Loakes are excellent shoes, definitely worth it when you go for quality
Loakes的鞋很不错，如果你追求质量，它绝对值得
Plus their refurb service is great. I’ve had two pairs of Rothschild black capped oxfords fro about six years now. Yes they haven’t had much use from mid March 20 to June 21, but I had them refurbed at the start of 2020.
You can probably have the refurbed twice, maybe three times, so there’s about ten years out of a pair of shoes for about £500/pair.
That will be cheaper, better for your feet, more sustainable, more stylish and infinitely more comfortable than buying some fashion tat shoes.
Also just had my Church’s Brogues refurbed for the first time so that’s about £600 all in though I did buy them in 2013.
他们的翻新服务也很好。我有两双牛津鞋，已经穿了6年了。在3月20日到6月21日之间，它们没有什么用处，但我在2020年初就把它们翻新了。
你可能会翻新两次，或者三次，所以一双鞋大约可以穿十年，每双500英镑。
这样比买一些时尚鞋更便宜，对你的脚更好，更划算。
我的Church’s Brogues也刚刚第一次翻新，总共大约600英镑，我是在2013年买的。
I got some yarn this week that was spun and dyed in the UK from UK sheep (literally a British breed of sheep too).
Probably going to knit it on German needles though.
本周我买了一些纱线，是用英国绵羊毛在英国纺制和染色的（确实是英国品种绵羊）。
不过可能会用德国针来编织。
Quite a lot of things I buy are British made, our industry is much larger than people usually give it credit for. If you use online shopping and buy the cheapest, chances are it won't be British, but if you look around there are loads of things.
Have a look at these sites to get an idea of all sorts of products such as clothing, umbrellas etc etc etc
我买的很多东西都是英国制造的，我们的产业比大家想象的要大得多。如果你使用网上购物然后买最便宜的东西，那它很可能不是英国的，但如果你多看看，还是有很多英国货的。
看看这些网站，了解各种产品，如服装、雨伞等【链接】
Thanks, that's quite informative. I do admit I do usually go for the cheapest product which serves the purpose hence I usually get stuff from China haha.
Maybe in the future when I earn more money, I'll be able to afford UK made things? We'll see.
It is curious though that Japan also is a high wage developed country but they manage to manufacture loads of things? I have a rice cooker, a couple of guitars and a few camera lenses and electronics made in Japan and they weren't that outrageously expensive either.
谢谢，这很有用。我承认，我一般确实是会选择最便宜的商品，所以我通常是买中国的东西，哈哈。
也许以后等我赚更多的钱，我能买得起英国货？再说吧
奇怪的是，日本也是一个高工资的发达国家，但他们能制造很多东西？我有一个电饭煲，几把吉他，一些相机镜头和一些日本制造的电子产品，它们也不是很贵。
You can say the same thing about Japanese goods as German goods. Usually these companies have good productivity, innovation and efficient supply chains. What makes something like optical equipments good is technology, not how much cheap labour you can throw at it.
UK’s bigger non-agrifood manufacturing sectors off the top of my head are cars (lots of it Japanese companies), pharmaceuticals, machinery, aerospace stuff and textiles. So apart from clothing items or cars it’s not as visible for normal consumers.
德国商品也是差不多的。通常这些公司的生产力、创新能力和供应链都很好，像光学设备这样的东西之所以好是因为技术，而不是你在上面投入了多少廉价劳动力。
英国较大的非农业食品制造业是汽车（很多是日本公司）、制药、机械、航空航天材料和纺织品。所以除了服装或汽车之外，普通消费者很少能看到英国货。
Yes, we tend to make few physical consumer goods but are much better at non consumer goods. JCBs for example. Or aero engines. And, of course, services which we excel at and don't come under the term goods.
是的，我们的实体商品造得少了，但在非消费品方面做得更好，比如JCB。或航空发动机。当然，我们擅长的服务不属于商品。
A Henry vacuum cleaner.

Taylors eye witness pocket knife. A proper Sheffield knife company I believe.

They are. I have a friend that works there. Unfortunately he said they have a couple of tiers of products, the more expensive are entirely made in Sheff but the cheaper ones are from China and "finished" in Sheff.
是正规的。我有一个朋友在那里工作。不幸的是，他说他们公司有两类产品，较贵的是完全在谢菲尔德生产的，但较便宜的来自中国，在谢菲尔德“完成”。
This is really common across loads of industries. It doesn't take much for something to be "made" in the UK.
My company makes things in China. They arrive in the UK in two parts, we bolt them together and put the label on. That's enough to be "Precision Manufactured in Britain"
这在很多行业中都很常见。在英国“制造”一件东西并没有多麻烦。
我们公司在中国制造东西。它们分成两部分抵达英国，我们把它们装起来，然后贴上标签。这足以成为“英国精密制造”了。
Last time I bought something that was “proud” to be make in the UK was a Ribble bicycle. But I think they only really assemble it around a Chinese frx like most bike manufacturers.
上一次我买的让我“引以为豪”的英国货是Ribble自行车。但我认为他们只是像大多数自行车制造商一样，用中国的车架组装起来的。
Yeah, I bought a custom made carbon fibre bike from my local bike shop. Turns out they took my measurements, then sent them off to China. Took six months for it to arrive.
是的，我在本地自行车店定制了一辆碳纤维自行车。他们给我量了尺寸，然后送去了中国。花了六个月才到。
My company manufactures solely in uk! Would be cheaper to move it abroad but gotta have some industry here
我们公司只在英国生产！搬到国外会更便宜，但必须在这里有一些产业
Same! With the recent insanity of global shipping, I decided to establish supply chains here with suppliers I could trust as it's actually pretty competitive if you find the right people who are looking to build long term supply relationships. It's really nice to be able to put "made in the UK" on the boxes.
我们也是！随着全球航运业的疯狂发展，我决定与我可以信任的供应商建立供应链，如果你找到了合适的人建立起长期供应关系，其实还是相当有竞争力的。能在盒子上贴着“英国制造”真是太好了。
A set of clear plastic boxes. Tbh was surprised which is why I noticed.
一套透明的塑料盒。老实说我很惊讶，这就是我注意到它的原因
Ditto. We save and re-use the clear plastic boxes that a takeaway comes in - I was surprised to see that they were made in the UK.
是的，我们留下重复使用的外卖透明塑料盒，我惊讶地发现它们是英国制造的。

The whole chain or just one shop? Either way, you must be rich!
从连锁店买还是小店？不管怎样，你肯定很有钱！
Not including food/drink probably my reusable facemasks I brought last year from a Scottish backpack/luggage manufacturer called trakke.
As for stuff I own that's made in the UK, I've got a trakke bag (made in Glasgow), a buffalo jacket (made in Sheffield), my computer desk was made by a local company I think some of my kitchen stuff like cutlery and knives were made in the UK and some of my gardening tools might have been as well.
不包括食物和饮料的话，可能是我去年买的可重复使用的口罩，是叫trakke的苏格兰背包制造商制造的。
至于英国制造的东西，我有一个trakke包（在格拉斯哥制造），一件水牛夹克（谢菲尔德制造），我的电脑桌是一家本地公司制造的，我的一些厨房用品，如餐具和刀具都是英国制造的，一些园艺工具也可能是英国制造的。
About a week ago, some Robert Welch saucepans.
大概一周前，是一些平底锅。
The thing which a lot of people don't realise is that Britain actually does still do quite a lot of manufacturing. We still produce steel, we build ships, we build submarines, aircraft, oil rigs and cars. We also produce parts for machinery which are sent all over the world. The biggest problem is raw materials in the UK, we often have to import because we don't mine iron or coal and we don't cut down trees for lumber. We also have to import oil.
Its why the British empire came into being really - raw material trade. We had the ability to manufacture and devise new tech, but not the materials to build or feed into them.
有些事很多人没有意识到，实际上英国确实还有很多制造业的。我们仍然生产钢铁，建造船只，潜艇，飞机，石油钻塔和汽车。我们还生产机械零件，它们销往世界各地。最大的问题是英国的原材料，我们通常要进口，因为我们不开采铁矿或煤矿，也不砍树来获取木材。我们还必须进口石油。
这也是大英帝国形成的真正原因——原材料贸易。我们有能力进行制造和开发新技术，但却没有满足这些的材料。
I'm thinking about buying Brompton bike.
A year ago I bought a handmade leather handbag from an English company that bragged about making everything locally etc. I was happy to buy a nice thing and support local craftsmanship. The company was delaying delivery for months and then they sent an email about going bankrupt. I lost ~£100. Few months later the same website was up again and collecting orders. I have a trust issues now.
我在考虑买一辆Brompton自行车。
一年前，我从一家英国公司买了一个手工皮革包，他们吹嘘所有东西都是本地生产的。能买到好东西还支持了当地的工艺，我当然很高兴。然而这家公司推迟几个月交货，然后他们发了一封邮件说他们破产了。我损失了大概100英镑。几个月后，同一个网站又上线了，正在收集订单。现在我对它产生了信任问题。
My Honda is made in Britain.
我的本田是英国制造的。
It’d be wildly impractical but it’d have been cool if we judt became totally self sufficient post brexit.
虽然非常不切实际，但如果我们在脱欧后完全自给自足，那就太酷了。
We could, with some thought, planning and investment, become less reliant than we are, and do more manufacturing. The trouble is, there’s just too many constraining factors. The land for factories is wanted by house-builders, who will pay a higher price, and the skills aren’t as attractive to young people when you factor in the physical labour, risk of injury, and general lack of job security.
Having said that, the success of the vehicle industry in Germany is something we really should be very jealous of. And mindful that the death of our own car industry was a series of entirely political, not economic decisions.
经过思考、规划和投资，我们可以减少对外部的依赖，发展更多制造业。问题是，限制因素太多了。房屋建设者需要建造工厂的土地，他们要支付更高的价格，而且当你考虑到这些工作是体力劳动、有受伤风险还普遍缺乏工作保障时，这些工作对年轻人来说是没多少吸引力的。
话虽如此，德国汽车工业的成功确实值得我们嫉妒。我们汽车产业的完蛋完全是一系列政治因素造成的，而不是由经济因素造成。
I work for a bed company. Too expensive to ship in so we still make em over here.
我在一家造床公司工作。它们的运费太贵了，所以我们还是在本地制造。

One of my favourite artists is British. The bloke who manages her shop has started to produce some products specifically for her FB fan forum, using British manufacturers. I bought one of the first batch of jigsaws, and will be buying the second one next week when that is released.
