耗資萬億的「巨無霸」項目英文怎麼說?

也許你遇到過這種囧況，向合作夥伴、客戶闡述耗資巨大的項目時苦於沒有專業詞彙，而總要把金額一提再提，結果不僅自己說得囉嗦，人家聽著也累。別急，小編來幫你解決這個問題^_^今天，我們就來介紹各種巨資項目的英文說法：

Teraproject refers to a massive project, particularly one that costs a trillion dollars or more.
「超巨型項目」指非常大型的項目，尤其是那種耗資過萬億美元的工程項目。

For example:

Moon building is probably a gigaproject or even teraproject.
建設月球也許是個特大項目，甚至是超巨型項目。

除了teraproject，指代金額巨大的相關詞彙還有superproject(超級項目)、gigaprojects(特大項目)和megaproject(大型項目)。

Speaking pedantically, you could say that this term should be used for projects that are a million times more expensive than mere megaprojects, since tera- means "trillion" and mega- means "million."
如果要咬文嚼字的話，這個詞可以用於形容那些耗資比「巨型項目」(megaprojects)高100萬倍的大型項目，因為，tera-是「萬億」的意思，而mega-則指「百萬」。

The sharp-eyed reader will have noticed that we skipped right over gigaprojects, meaning large projects with costs that run into the billions (since the prefix giga- means "billion"). However, most of us use the word megaproject to refer to any really large project, regardless of cost, so a strict prefix-based distinction is hair-splitting.
眼尖的讀者會注意到我們沒有提到另一個詞：gigaproject(特大項目)。由於前綴giga-是「億」的意思，這個詞意指耗資過億的項目。不過，無論具體金額是多少，我們大部分人都用megaproject來指代那些大型項目，因此要基於前綴來嚴格區分這些詞，顯得有些吹毛求疵。
