But using such plastic as a replacement for bitumen is cost-effective, claims Mr McCartney.

但是使用这种塑料作为沥青的替代品是很合算的，麦卡特尼说。

Here is the Standard of Ur where mosaic inlaid in bitumen showed the scenes that mattered most.

这是乌尔军旗沥青上镶嵌的马赛克图案展现了当时最为重要的场景。

The process of heating and separating bitumen from the sand requires millions of cubic meters of water.

加热从中分离沥青的过程需要数百万立方米的水。

The rubberised bitumen itself is flexible and slightly springy, which enables it to absorb more unwanted sonic energy.

而参入了橡胶的沥青本身也具有柔韧性轻微的弹性，这使它吸收更多讨厌的音波能量。

At present 5-10% of the bitumen is replaced by the additives, but this could be increased to 25%.

目前，5-10%的沥青被添加剂替代，但这个比增加至25%。

As an example, he says that a tonne of bitumen might cost around 400 pounds ($521) in Britain.

如，他说一公吨沥青在英国的成本约为400英镑（521美元）。

An alternative method of using recycled plastic is to mix the material into hot bitumen when making asphalt.

使用回收塑料的另一种替代方法是在制作柏油时，将材料混合进热沥青中。

The additive would replace a proportion of the bitumen, so there are savings to be made.

添加剂替代部分沥青，因有所节省。

There is a connection. Just as plastic is derived from petrochemicals, bitumen is produced as a by-product of refining oil.

其中有一个联系。塑料源自石油化工产品，而生产出的沥青是精炼油脂的副产品。

“Many people do not like the smell of overheated bitumen, which spreads during the repair process, so they decided to try it.”

许多人不喜欢修路过程中散发出的热乎乎的柏油味道，于是他们决定尝试一下。”

By adding rubber " crumbs" , reclaimed from shredded tyres, to the bitumen and crushed stone used to make asphalt, engineers are designing quieter streets.

在沥青碎石里添加从轮胎碎片中回收的废胶末，再铺成柏油路，这样工程师设计出更加安静的街道。

That is more than three times as much as the 120m tonnes of bitumen produced annually, most of which goes into building the world's roads.

这是每年生产的1.2亿公吨沥青的三倍还多，大部分沥青都被用于建造世界范围内的公路。

3 They said to one another, " Come, let us mold bricks and harden them with fire." They used bricks for stone, and bitumen for mortar.

3 他们彼说：「来，我们做砖，用火烧透。」他们遂拿砖当石，拿沥青代灰泥。

Uberbinder is a revolutionary organic polymer  binder that's purpose engineered to replace the carbon and energy-intensive cement and  bitumen binders in concrete and asphalt.

Uberbinder 是一种革命性的有机聚合物粘合剂，旨在取代混凝土沥青中的碳能源密集型水泥沥青粘合剂。

Transportation infrastructure, construction and  road building are responsible for over one third of our emissions worldwide and one third  of that comes from cement and bitumen.

交通基础设施、建筑道路建设占我们全球排放量的三分之一上，其中三分之一来自水泥沥青。

It is crude and polluting, but it provides a fix of sorts. A number of roads in India are also made by mixing chopped-up plastic into bitumen.

这种方法粗糙且会造成污染，但提供了固定种类。印度很多公路也是通过将碎塑料与沥青混合制成。

I knew that there must be some similarities between plastic and bitumen, which both come from oil. That's how I started to think about mixing them, he said.

我知道塑料沥青之间一定有一些相似之处，它们都来自石油。 “这就是我开始考虑将它们混合起来的原因，”他说。

10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of bitumen pits; and as the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, they fell into these, while the rest fled to the mountains.

10 息丁山谷遍地是沥青坑；索多玛王哈摩辣王逃跑时都跌在坑里；其余的人都逃到山里去了。

It is made from a blend of crushed rock, rubber and polyurethane, a synthetic plastic that replaces bitumen as the binding agent and allows even bigger pores in the road surface.

它由碎石、橡胶聚氨酯制成，人造塑胶聚氨酯代替沥青，因为这种粘合剂允许更大的气孔存在于路面。

Our roads need to be repaired or replaced far  too often, and there's a continued reliance on cement and bitumen, which make up  over 10% of all carbon emissions.

我们的道路需要经常维修或更换，并且继续依赖水泥沥青， 它们占所有碳排放量的 10% 上。
