一带一路是共建“丝绸之路经济带”和“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议的简单表述。2013年9月和10月，中国国家主席习近平在出访中亚和东南亚国家期间，先后提出共建“丝绸之路经济带”和“21世纪海上丝绸之路”的重大倡议。并开始被简称为共建“一带一路”倡议。2015年3月28日，经国务院授权，国家发展和改革委员会、外交部、商务部联合发布了《推动共建丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路的愿景与行动》；2017年5月，推进“一带一路”领导小组办公室宣布了《共建“一带一路”：理念、实践与中国的贡献》。4年多来，全球100多个国家和国际组织积极响应和支持，联合国大会和安理会多次将其纳入相关决议，“一带一路”建设逐渐从理念转化为行动，从愿景转变为现实，正在打造成为顺应经济全球化潮流的最广泛国际合作平台，让共建“一带一路”更好造福各国人民。那么“一带一路”相关的英文翻译都是什么呢?

一、在对外公文中，统一将“丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路”的英文全称译为“the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road”，“一带一路”简称译为“the Belt and Road”，英文缩写用“B&R”。
