耗资万亿的“巨无霸”项目英文怎么说？

也许你遇到过这种囧况，向合作伙伴、客户阐述耗资巨大的项目时苦于没有专业词汇，而总要把金额一提再提，结果不仅自己说得啰嗦，人家听着也累。别急，小编来帮你解决这个问题^_^今天，我们就来介绍各种巨资项目的英文说法：

Teraproject refers to a massive project, particularly one that costs a trillion dollars or more.
“超巨型项目”指非常大型的项目，尤其是那种耗资过万亿美元的工程项目。

For example:

Moon building is probably a gigaproject or even teraproject.
建设月球也许是个特大项目，甚至是超巨型项目。

除了teraproject，指代金额巨大的相关词汇还有superproject(超级项目)、gigaprojects(特大项目)和megaproject(大型项目)。

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."
如果要咬文嚼字的话，这个词可以用于形容那些耗资比“巨型项目”(megaprojects)高100万倍的大型项目，因为，tera-是“万亿”的意思，而mega-则指“百万”。

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.
眼尖的读者会注意到我们没有提到另一个词：gigaproject(特大项目)。由于前缀giga-是“亿”的意思，这个词意指耗资过亿的项目。不过，无论具体金额是多少，我们大部分人都用megaproject来指代那些大型项目，因此要基于前缀来严格区分这些词，显得有些吹毛求疵。
