如果是网球比分,我们就会用“love”表示“0”,比分是30-0就说成“The score was thirty love. (30-0)”

如果表示温度,我们就用“zero”,如:今天0度就是‘It’s zero degrees celsius today (0°)
The decimal point (Notice that in English we say decimal point, and not a
dot as in internet addresses). In British English, zero and nought are used
before and after a decimal point.
American English does not use nought.小数点(注意英语中用“decimal
point”来表示小数点,而不是网址中的“dot”),在英式英语中“zero”和“nought
”可以用在小数点之前和之后。美式英语则不用“nought”

Oh can be used after the decimal point.
“Oh”也可以用在小数点之后
比如:
0.05就是“ zero point zero five” 或者“nought point nought five”
0.5% 就是“ zero point five percent ”或者“ nought point five percent”
0.501 就是“zero point five zero one”或者“ nought point five nought one”或者“
nought/zero point five oh one”
小编:大家晕了吗?不用急,Like everything in this world, practice makes
perfect!只要多在工作中使用这些说法,就不会混淆了。下面小编给出几个例子,大家练习一下吧!
Try saying the following:
1. Can I have my bill please? I’m in Room 204.
2. The exact figure is 0.002.
3. Can you get back to me on 0208 775 3001.
4. Look, it’s less than 0.0001! Let’s not worry about it.
5. 0.75% won’t make a lot of difference.
