英語(yǔ)數(shù)字你能說(shuō)對(duì)嗎？你可能會(huì)覺(jué)得這很簡(jiǎn)單，不就是one two three four嗎？ 但是如果遇上大數(shù)字，你還知道該怎么說(shuō)嗎？比如……
其實(shí)，這都是因?yàn)槔贤庥洈?shù)字的說(shuō)法和習(xí)慣和我們不太一樣。他們常用的數(shù)字最高就是千，沒(méi)有“萬(wàn)”的概念，正好和中文就差了一位數(shù)，3個(gè)零一組以“千”為單位進(jìn)行區(qū)分。 這么說(shuō)你也很難理解，就讓老師來(lái)給你講講吧，你會(huì)明白為什么千位數(shù)上會(huì)有“小逗號(hào)”。 Cardinal Numbers（基本數(shù)字） - 1 (one), 2 (two) etc. (Used mainly for counting) Ordinal Numbers（序數(shù)） - 1st (first), 2nd (second) etc. (Used mainly for putting things in a sequence) Cardinal Numbers （基本數(shù)字） Cardinal numbers are normally used when you: 1. count things: I have two brothers. There are thirty-one days in January. 2. give your age: I am thirty-three years old. My sister is twenty-seven years old. 3. give your telephone number: Our phone number is two-six-three, three-eight-four-seven. (481-2240) 4. give years: She was born in nineteen seventy-five (1975). America was discovered in fourteen ninety-two 100 - one hundred * 101 - one hundred and one 200 - two hundred 300 - three hundred 1,000 - one thousand 10,000 - ten thousand 100,000 - one hundred thousand 1,000,000 - one million 10,000,000 - ten million 100,000,000 - one hundred million 1,000,000,000 - one billion * Instead of saying One Hundred, you can say A hundred. e.g. (127) one hundred and twenty-seven OR (127) a hundred and twenty-seven. The same rule applies for one thousand (a thousand) and one million (a million) Notice that you need to use a hyphen (-) when you write the numbers between 21 and 99 (twenty-one, ninety-nine). With long numbers, we usually divide them into groups of three which are divided by a comma. e.g. 5000000 (5 million) is normally written as 5,000,000 Ordinal Numbers （序數(shù)） You can normally create Ordinal numbers by adding -TH to the end of a Cardinal Number. Ordinal numbers are normally used when you: 1. give a date: My birthday is on the 27th of January. (Twenty-seventh of January) 2. put things in a sequence or order: Liverpool came second in the football league last year. 3. give the floor of a building: His office is on the tenth floor. 4. have birthdays: He had a huge party for his twenty-first birthday. 記住這些數(shù)字的英語(yǔ)說(shuō)法，因?yàn)槟悴恍⌒亩嗾f(shuō)或少說(shuō)一個(gè)零，那都是相當(dāng)大的誤差。就好比你們公司的銷(xiāo)售額是900多億，翻譯成英語(yǔ)時(shí)如果不小心寫(xiě)成了“900 billion”，老外看到都要嚇傻了……然后接下來(lái)怎么辦呢？將錯(cuò)就錯(cuò)嗎？ 漢語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)的大數(shù)計(jì)數(shù)習(xí)慣就差了一位數(shù)，但正是這一位數(shù)讓多少人”陰溝里翻船“？ 現(xiàn)在，你學(xué)會(huì)了嗎？光聽(tīng)懂是不夠的，要加強(qiáng)練習(xí)才行哦！ |
