早在本世纪初,可口可乐就已在亚洲面世,首先在菲律宾生产,并运到中国上海等城市销售。1927年,可口可乐在上海及天津设厂生产,稍后更在青岛及广州生产。据说,可口可乐在中国一开始翻译成了一个啼笑皆非的中文名字,叫“蝌蝌啃蜡”。苦于没有理想的中文名字,可口可乐公开登报悬赏350英磅征求译名。当时旅英的华人学者蒋彝以“可口可乐”四个字中榜,夺走了奖金。 As early as the beginning of this century, Coca-Cola was launched in Asia. It was first produced in the Philippines and shipped to cities such as Shanghai, China. In 1927, Coca-Cola set up factories in Shanghai and Tianjin and later in Qingdao and Guangzhou. It is said that Coca-Cola in China at the outset translated into a ridiculous Chinese name, called “tad tad eating wax.” Suffering from no ideal Chinese name, Coca-Cola publishes a reward of 350 British pounds to seek translation. Jiang Yi, a Chinese scholar who traveled to England at that time, took the prize in the words “Coca-Cola”.
