Dates 日期
In English, we can say dates either with the day before the month, or the
month before the day:
你可以先说日期也可以先说月份：
The first of January / January the first.
Remember to use ordinal numbers for dates in English.
记得在说日期时要使用序数词。
(The first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the
twenty-second, the thirty-first etc.)
Years 年份
For years up until 2000, separate the four numbers into two pairs of
two:
在2000年之前的年份，你可以把四个数字分成两部分来说：
1965 = nineteen sixty-five
1871 = eighteen seventy-one
1999 = nineteen ninety-nine
For this decade, you need to say "two thousand and ..." when speaking
British English:
2000年之后的年份，(英式英语中)你要说"two thousand and ..."：
2001 = two thousand and one
2009 = two thousand and nine
Large numbers 大数目
Divide the number into units of hundreds and thousands:
将数字分成百位和千位：
400,000 = four hundred thousand (no s plural)
If the number includes a smaller number, use "and" in British English:
(英式英语中)如果数字不是整数，你需要加上"and"：
450,000 = four hundred and fifty thousand
400,360 = four hundred thousand and three hundred and sixty
Fractions, ratios and percentages 分数，比例，百分比
1/2 = one half
1/3 = one third
1/4 = one quarter
1/5 = one fifth
1/6 = one sixth etc
3/5 = three fifths
1.5% = one point five percent
0.3% = nought / zero point three percent
2:1 = two to one
Saying 0 如何说数字0?
Depending on the context, we can pronounce zero in different ways:
根据语境的不同，我们有很多种说法来表达数字0：
2-0 (football) = Two nil
30 – 0 (tennis) = Thirty love
604 7721 (phone number) = six oh four…
0.4 (a number) = nought point four / zero point four
0℃ (temperature) = zero degrees
Talking about calculations in English 如何用英语表示算术
+ (plus)
2 + 1 = 3 (two plus one equals three)
- (minus / take away)
5 – 3 = 2 (five minus three equals two / five take away three equals
two)
x (multiplied by / times)
2 x 3 = 6 (two multiplied by three equals six / two times three equals
six)
/ (divided by)
6 / 3 = 2 (six divided by three equals two) |
