英语中纯数字的表达方法
大于100的数字:
101 one hundred (and) one
200 two hundred
998 nine hundred (and) ninetyeight
在英语中上面括弧中的and 一般不能省略;而在美国英语中却往往省去。请分析下面的对话:
A:How many people are killed in the terrorists' attacking at America?
B: That's nine hundred and ninety eight,exactly.
A: Woo,you must be joking.How can you get such an accurate number?
B: Ha,ha... surely I am joking. You silly goose.
大于1000的数字:
1001 a/one thousand (and) one
2232 two thousand two hundred (and) thirty two
900,732,266,043
nine hundred billion seven hundred thirty two million two hundred sixty six
forty three
英语中一千以上数字的表达方法是以三位数为单元,从高到低billion,million,thousand
而依次读出的。因此我们在听时,可以三位数三位数地记录。试比较下面的对话:
A:Can you tell me exactly the numbers of the whole people in our
country?
B:One billion four hundred thirty two million two hundred sixty six forty
three.
A:Thank you very much. |
