In the UK it would be discussed for 10years before going through the planning stage for another 5 years and then takeanother 5 years to build and estimate cost of ￡500 million and when eventuallycompleted would have cost ￡2 billion. We use to be the greatest in the worldfor construction projects but now rate equal to 3rd word countries due to thepeople we have in power who haven't a clue.

如果是英国的话，可能需要讨论十年，然后再计划5年，再花5年建造，预计成本是5亿英镑，而完成时却花费了20亿。我们以前在建筑工程领域是世界上最棒的国家，但是现在这方面变成了第三世界国家的水平，都是因为我们所选举的领导人都搞不清楚状况。

CHINA, forgingahead as a future world leader.

中国，作为未来的世界领袖而奋发进取。

No chance, stealing ideas and making poorcopies will not make Chinaa world leader. The only reason Chinadoes well is cheap labour, zero health and safety and no environmental laws.

没门，偷窃和制造低劣产品不会让中国成为世界领袖。中国之所以做得好，都是因为劳动力廉价，完全没有卫生和安全法规以及没有环境法律。

￡158 million , for a bridge which usuallycost 10 time more to built with current standards and it MADE IN CHINA, would Itake a picture of it, YES, would i drive on it, NO.

才1.58亿英镑，这种桥梁以目前的标准来建造的话其成本一般是这个的十倍还多，而且还是中国制造，所以我会拍拍照，但是开车上去是不可能的。

In the US it would take two years just toget an architectural drawing, 5 for the permit, another 8 to 10 years to buildwith 25 to 35 percent devoted to cost over runs. By then it would be obsoleteor in need of remedial repairs.

在美国的话，要花两年时间设计图纸，5年时间获得许可，8到10年时间的建造，成本超支25-35%。届时又会变得过时，或者需要矫正修理。
