Dubai has begun work on a new $35 billion airport terminal that will become the world's busiest when it's finished, according to the state's ruler.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said that the new terminal at Al Maktoum International airport will one day handle up to 260 million passengers per year.

But if that sounds like a travel nightmare, the CEO of Dubai Airports has different ideas. Paul Griffiths said that at the 400-gate airport there will be less walking, less waiting and no queues.

Griffiths said that airports around the world have gotten lazy and this one will change the way airports work.

His plan includes having security and passport checkpoints spread out around the terminal to save people time.

But 260 million is a lot of passengers. It's more than double the number that used the world's busiest airport in 2023. Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, handled 105 million passengers last year.

Dubai International Airport (DXB), the state's main airport at the moment, was second in that list with 87 million passengers.

However, all of that traffic will move to Al Maktoum over the next few years, according to Sheikh Mohammed.

Al Maktoum, which first opened in 2010, will be five times bigger than DXB when it's finished.

It's not only at the airport that building is taking place. Sheikh Mohammed said that an "entire city" will be built in the area around the airport, with homes for a million people.

"Dubai will be the world's airport," he said on X, and the world's "new global center."

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
相信大家对中文的数字都不陌生了吧，那今天我们就来学一学一些跟数字有关的词，看看普通的数字还能怎么用？
首先是“一”，有一个词叫“一心一意”。第一个意思是“非常专心”，例如：他一心一意投入学习，不受其他的事情影响。第二个意思是“坚持一个想法”，例如：他一心一意要退学创业，谁也改变不了他的想法。还有一个词叫“一心多用”，意思是“同时想着或者做着好几件事”，例如：现在的人经常一心多用，一边工作一边听音乐，还能一边跟人聊天。
数字“二”有一个常用的词叫“二话不说”，意思是“没有犹豫”，例如：朋友跟他借钱，他二话不说就给他了。“二百五”除了是“两百五十”的意思，还常指那些傻头傻脑，说话不正经、办事不认真的人。这样的人我们说“他是个二百五。”
三心二意：指的是“一会儿想这样一会儿想那样，犹豫不决或意志不坚定”。例如：他无论做什么都三心二意，做不长久。
三言两语：指的是“简单的几句话”。例如：这件事太复杂了，三言两语解释不清楚。
怕三怕四：指的是“这也怕,那也怕，不能做出决定”。例如：遇到机会的时候他总是怕三怕四，所以到现在还是个普通员工。
丢三落四：指的是“一个人做事很粗心，不是丢了这个，就是忘了那个。”例如：他这人丢三落四的，今天又把钥匙弄丢了。
五颜六色：指的是“很多种颜色”。例如：这是一件用五颜六色的布料做成的衣服。  
你还知道哪些跟数字有关的词吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
