正文：
If you're behind the wheel and you aren't great with heights it's probably best not to look down.
如果你正在开车或者你有些恐高的话，可能最好不要朝下看。

This record-breaking bridge has opened allowing motorists to cross over a canyo n - at 1,102ft.
这座破世界纪录的大桥已经通车，允许司机们（驾车从桥面）穿越峡谷——在离地1102英尺的高度。

Named the Aizhai Extra Large Suspension Bridge, it's now the world's highest an d longest tunnel-to-tunnel bridge.
（湖南湘西）矮寨特大悬索桥，是目前世界上峡谷跨径最大、跨高最高的大桥。

Work started on the feat of engineering in October 2007 and the bulk of the wor k finished at the end of last year.
堪称壮举的建桥工程始于2007年10月份，并在去年年底完成了大部分建设工作。

It is designed to ease traffic in the Jishou area of Hunan province and officia lly opened to motorists today
这座桥的设计是为了纾缓湖南省吉首地区的交通压力，并在今天正式向司机们开放。

Drivers can take in the views of the Dehang Canyon as they steer their way acro ss all 3,858ft of the new sky-high road which links two tunnels.
当司机们驾车行驶在全长3858英尺、连接两个桥隧的崭新天路上，还能饱览德夯大峡谷的壮美风光。

The bridge, which is lit up at night with 1,888 lights, is the fourth suspensio n bridge to cross a valley so wide it seems to be connecting two mountain range s.
这座大桥晚上会被1888盏彩灯点亮，是第四座跨越峡谷如此之宽的悬索桥，它看起来就像连接着两个山脉。

Once on the bridge cars and lorries can motor along a two-way, four-lane motorw ay at about 50mph. Pedestrians can also walk along it on a special walkway unde
r the road.
一旦上了桥，汽车和货车可以沿双向四车道以50英里/小时的速度行驶。

行人也可以沿着
车道下面的一个特殊人行道（观光通道）行走。

The bridge is a key part of the Jishou-Chadong Expressway, a 64-kilometre road which has 18 different tunnels which cover about half of its length.
这座大桥是吉首-茶峒高速公路的一个关键部分，这条全长64千米的高速公路全线共有18
种不同桥隧，桥隧比例达到了长度的将近一半。

It is hoped the bridge will help ease traffic jams which are common in the moun tainous area which has narrow, steep and winding roads.
（政府）希望这座大桥能有效纾解交通拥堵问题，在山区狭窄、陡峭、蜿蜒的盘山公路上，交通拥堵问题很常见。

The structure is supported by a base 78ft wide.
桥梁结构由宽为78英尺的桥基支撑。

China is has the longest bridge in the world, the Danyang Kunshan Grand Bridge which is just over 100miles long and was built two years ago to carry the Beiji ng–Shanghai high-speed railway.
中国拥有世界上最长的桥梁，那是两年前为京沪高铁修建的全长超过100英里的丹阳至昆山特大桥。

omg I could never drive across this bridge, I would die of heart failure! I am also deathly afraid of tunnels.....so I would not be driving this route, even i f I were in China, lol
我的神呐，我永远无法驾车穿越这座桥，我会死于心脏衰竭！我也怕死了隧道……所以我不会开车走这条路线，即使我是在中国，哈哈哈。

Keep sniping...keep sniping. We can't build lego house for less than 20,000,000 quid and then take 10 years to build it.
继续中伤……继续中伤。

少于20000000英镑我们甚至连栋积木房子都造不出来，然后还要花10年时间来建造。

Yes... nice try DM
是的……你想得美，（休想哄我上桥留）死亡信息

For all you detractors, I wonder how many of you are sending in comments from y our iPad?
对所有的批评者，我想知道你们当中有多少人是用自己的Ipad上网评论的？
7、TheMightyOak, Shrewsbury, U.K., 01/4/2012 00:01
I wonder what wind-speeds they get funnelling down that gorge, and how much adv ance warning those controlling the bridge receive. Still, it appears China's ef forts at modernizing its interior continues apace. Good photos too.
我想知道那个峡谷在狭管效应下风速是多少，而那些控制修建这座大桥的人又了解多少这方面的先进知识（不准确）。

不论如何，它展现了中国为内部现代化飞速发展所作出的努力。

照片也拍得很棒。

Amazing! China is well and truly stepping up the game in all aspects, no wonder they will shortly become 'the world super power'.
太不可思议了！中国有好好地并真正地在各方面加强比赛能力，难怪他们不久就将成为“世界超级大国”。

Didn't the UK go metric 40 years ago ?
英国40年前没有采用公制吗？

I'm sure (I hope) it's an optical illusion, but in the top picture it looks as though the road just ends at the bottom right hand lane.
我确信（我希望）这是一种错觉，但第一张照片看起来好像这条道路在桥右边底部就结束了

Whats keeping this bridge up? I wouldn't fancy using it
是什么保持这座桥立起来的？我不喜欢使用这座桥。

14、Uncle Ben, E.London, 1/4/2012 5:01
I hope the Bridge is Not Made in Hong Kong. (cos its a long way down)
我希望这座桥不是香港制造的。

（当然它是一条漫漫长路）
15、Mona Oak, London, 1/4/2012 5:01
Remember it is made in China not to last that long! Tourists beware of using th is bridge at any time if you ever bother to visit that country! Me no way!
记住，它是中国制造，所以用不了多长时间！如果你不嫌麻烦去中国旅游，一定要随时注意小心使用这座桥！我就不可能（去中国）！

See what can be done when you have labor paid at servant rates. If UK and Ameri can companies could pay noodles for work, we could still be doing this too.
看，这就是当你以奴隶价使用劳工时能做出的丰功伟绩。

如果英国和美国的公司可以用一碗面条就打发工人，我们可能也还在做这个。

17、Cat, NZ, 1/4/2012 4:12
I hope the quality of their bridges surpasses the quality of every other produc t of Chinese production! I'm just reading an article now on the shoddy construc tion of bridges and god knows what else in China, how many have collapsed and t he use sub-standard cement etc.
我希望他们的桥梁质量超越其他中国生产的产品！我刚刚读完一篇讲中国桥梁建设中以次充好的文章，只有上帝知道在中国还有其他什么不为人知的事情，有多少桥梁倒塌了，又有多少桥梁使用了不合格的水泥，诸如此类。

18、Jill Turner, Humpty Doo NT Australia , 1/4/2012 4:12
Will this bridge still be viable in say 5-10 years? Modern China is not known f or building anything that lasts - including clothing/shoes and etc etc. I wonde r if this is an earthquake prone area???? Scary!
这座大桥能使用5-10年吗？现代中国不以制造持久耐用产品著称，包括衣服/鞋子等等。

我还想知道这是不是一个地震多发区？？？？太吓人了！
19、AndyM, Hebden Bridge, 1/4/2012 4:03
................Impressive, BUT the british built forth rail bridge was built i n 1890 and spans 8296ft, a tad longer than this toy............. It's not a com petition you know. Nice looking bridge.
令人印象深刻，但是英国的福斯湾铁路大桥建造于1890年，横跨8296英尺，比这个玩具久远多了……你知道，这不是一个竞争。

很漂亮的大桥。

20、Andy-Roo , LGC - North Herts, 1/4/2012 4:00

21、Thames, London, 1/4/2012 3:54
It's a Chinese bridge, built in China with Chinese steel and Chinese workers an d it's almost a mile long. Ever take a look at a Chinese hammer?
这是一座中国的大桥，在中国建造，用中国钢铁，由中国工人修建，而且它几乎有一英里长。

从来没有看见过一把中国铁锤？

Did Lord Foster (of the wobbly bridge fame) have a hand in its construction?
福斯特爵士（有名的摇摇晃晃的桥）是有一只手在他内部建筑里（撸动）吗？
（福斯特爵士的大名是伦敦千禧桥，2000年5月正式开放，只开放了三天就开始摇晃。

）

Pretty soon they will all be driving cars & the West will be importing Richshaw s bought on installments.
很快他们就将全部开上小汽车，而我们西方人则要分期付款从他们那里进口黄包车。

Could you imagine being on a traffic jam on that???
你能想象在这座桥上面陷入交通拥堵吗？？？
27、Tubsy, Malone, 1/4/2012 4:10
"Could you imagine being on a traffic jam on that??? - Seriously , Whoknows????, 31/3/2012 19:24" They could always stock on some pirate DVD's from some canny bridge sellers!
回楼上：他们总是可以从一些精明的桥上贩子那里多买几张盗版DVD（打发时间）！

We need to complete the Edinburgh tram ...2 years late , 3 time over budget and much shorther than planned ? please help before we get the new Forth road brid ge started.
我们需要完成爱丁堡电车轨道……工期拖晚了两年，3次超过预算，比计划的要短太多？在我们开始修建新的福斯公路桥之前，拜托你们快点完工吧。

29、Dave666, Chorley UK, 1/4/2012 1:54
And I'll wager this did not use Scottish steel.
我打赌这里面没有用苏格兰钢铁。

There was a time when Britain & America used to be the nations which made headl ines & entries in the reccord books for engineering feats like this but not any more.....Now the Chinese who used to look to the West, along with everyone els e, are the ones which the Ewst has to look to in awe....What a change in status over the last 100 years....What happened?....Just follow the manufacturing job s because that is what makes real value in the world....
曾经有一段时间，英国和美国是关于这样的工程壮举的头条新闻或纪录书条目里的常客，但现在再也不是了……现在西方人经常看到的是中国，或者是其他的国家，这些国家都让西方人怀着敬畏之心来看……在过去100年里，这是何等翻天覆地的变化……到底是什么导致的呢？……必须紧紧抓牢制造业的工作，因为在这个世界上只有制造业才能创造真正的价值……
31、Geffers, DEWSBURY WEST YORKSHIRE, 1/4/2012 1:44
San Francisco - Oakland Bridge,,,,where was this manufactured? China! So what's the problem? Nothing wrong with the quality of bridges in China, just marvel a t the engineering!
旧金山——奥克兰大桥……这是在哪里制造的？答案是中国！所以还有什么问题吗？中国桥梁质量没有任何问题，你只需为这样的工程壮举惊叹！
32、marita , England, 1/4/2012 1:07
I won't be crossing that or any other long bridges, not even with a lifejacket and a parachute.
我不会穿越那座大桥或者其他很长的桥梁，即使有救生衣和降落伞也不会。

33、Jeff, London, 1/4/2012 1:06
The usual anti-Chinese rhetoric from the comments, boring! Marvel at the workma nship and engineering required for such a feat, learn from it - that's what pro gress is about. Not moaning becuse they're Chinese.
评论中经常可见的反中国意见，令人厌烦！我们应该惊叹于完成如此壮举所需要的工艺和工程，然后从中虚心学习……那才是进步。

不要只会嘟囔抱怨，就因为（看不起）他们是中国人。

34、The Mechanic, USA, 1/4/2012 0:49
Go to Walmart and see the amazing quality of Chinese made goods and then ask yo urself if you would really drive across that bridge.
去沃尔玛，看看中国制造产品的惊人质量，然后再问问你自己，你是否真的愿意驾车穿越那座大桥。

35、uncle mort, warwickshire, 31/3/2012 23:56
No mention of a toll, in this country it would be £20.
没有提及过桥费，在这个国家，应该会收20磅。

36、Jerry, Yorkshire, 31/3/2012 23:36
If it's anything like their usual standard, it'll fall to bits the first time i t gets wet. Cheap and nasty.
如果是按他们通常的标准建造，第一次被弄湿的时候就会掉下来。

金玉其外，败絮其中。

If it's anything like the other chinese "engineering feats" of recent times, i' ll be falling apart before it opens.
如果它是像中国最近其他的“工程壮举”，在开放使用之前就会分崩离析。

42、Steve, Leeds, 31/3/2012 21:21
Big deal and I certainly wouldnt trust driving over that knowing the quality of chinese products. Doesnt even look sturdy enough.
没什么大不了的，我肯定不会足够信任到可以驾车穿越这座大桥，因为了解中国产品的质量嘛。

甚至看起来都不怎么坚固。
