Britain could be linked with America by road as part of an ambitious project to create the world's longest superhighway spanning half the circumference of the globe.

从英国到美国有望建成世界上最长的、相当于绕地球半周的高速公路，这将是一项伟大的计划。

Proposals have been put forward to build the mega route stretching about 12,400 miles from the western edge of Russia to the Bering Strait where the country nudges Alaska.

该项计划在提案中提出，这条公路从俄罗斯的最西部到白令海峡再与美国的阿拉斯加相连，全程长约12400英里(约19956千米)。

Linking into existing road networks in Europe and Asia, for the first time it would allow travellers a proper highway to drive all way from the UK to the United States.

这不仅能够将欧洲和亚洲现有的公路网络连接在一起，而且首次为旅游爱好者们提供了驾车从英国到美国的机会。

This new scheme is seen as a way of turning Russia into a global transportation hub, a bridge between Europe, Asia and North America, so revitalising the Russian economy and attracting new tourism.

这项新计划能够将俄罗斯打造为全球交通枢纽，成为连接欧洲、亚洲和北美洲的桥梁，这对俄罗斯的经济和旅游业都大有裨益。

Vladimir Fortov, the Head of the Russian Academy of Science, recently put forward the uncosted plan dubbed the Trans-Eurasian Belt Development (TEPR) to President Vladimir Putin.
