注定要成为世界最大的运输中心

So it's perhaps not surprising that Chinese officials were keen to show-off the skeleton of Beijing's new mega-airport - Beijing Daxing International Airport - this week.

中国官员热衷炫耀北京新的巨型机场——北京大兴国际机场的骨架，也许不足为奇。

Representatives unveiled the primary structure of its 80billion yuan (£9billion) project on Monday, which boasts 1.6million cubic metres of concrete, 52,000 tonnes of steel and spans 47 square kilometres (18 square miles), including runways.

周一，代表们揭开了这一投资800亿元（90亿英镑）项目的主要结构。该项目号称要用掉160万立方米混泥土，5.2万吨钢铁，包括跑道在内占地面积达47平方公里。

Due to open in October 2019 amid a massive infrastructure drive overseen by President Xi, it's expected to serve an initial 45million passengers a year.

机场预计2019年10月开放，最初每年有望接待4500万乘客。

Eventually, that capacity will surpass 100million annual travellers, putting it on par with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

最终，机场接纳客流能力将超过每年1亿人次，使其与亚特兰大国际机场旗鼓相当。

9 Billion? The US Congress could figure out how to do that same thing for only 36 Billion. It would take them a couple of years, though.

90亿？

美国国会可能在掂量着如何用“区区”360亿来完成同样的壮举，不过需要几年

Lived in Beijing as Olympic Birds Nest Stadium was being built....to get it finished on time " builders" wore adult nappies in order that they could stay above within the roof working for a 24 or often 36 hr shift ......that's how they get things done in China ......over to you - discuss !

鸟巢还在建的时候，我住在北京。

为了按时完工，“建筑者们”穿着成人尿布，在屋顶上连续工作24甚至36小时。

中国就是这样完成工程的。

The Chin ese seem to get a lot done. Roads, rails, bridges, dams, skyscrapers, airplanes, space stations, super computers, etc. Sometimes wonder if democr acy is the longest end of the stick.

中国似乎完成了大量工程，公路、铁路、桥梁、大坝、摩天楼、大飞机、空间站，超级计算机等

有时候纳闷民主是否是最好的

True, Communism works in China because there's lots of people and to get things done, you need an authoritarian government to just do it.

共产主义在中国成功，是因为中国人多，能办事。

要把事情办成，就得需要威权政府。

Can we encase London in one of these protective domes, and make it air tight.

能不能建一个这样的巨型保护罩，把伦敦罩起来。
