你知道用英语怎么读数字吗?诀窍在这里,So easy

Time:July 22, 2024

培养耳朵对英文数字保持敏感是听力训练中一项必不可少的基本功。那么怎样才能快捷有效地掌握这一技能呢?我们应从掌握数字的正确读法开始。

一. 基数词的读法

202读作:two hundred(and)two

234读作:two hundred(and)thirty four

1,234读作:one thousand,two hundred(and)thirty four

但是在读法上须注意以下几点:

(1)在英式英语中,一个数的最后两位(十位和个位)得用"and'',但美式英语中则不用。如:

3,077(U.S):three thousand,seventy-seven

(2)不定冠词"a"只在数的开头才和hundred,thousand等连用。试比较:

146读作:a hundred(and)forty-six

2,146读作:two thousand,one hundred(and)forty-six

(3)1,000这个整数我们说a thousand,在and前我们也说a thousand,但是在一个有百位数的数目前就得说one thousand,试比较:

1,031读作:a thousand,(and)thirty-one

1,150读作:one thousand,one hundred(and)fifty

(4)hundred,thousand和million这几个词的单数可以和"a"或者"one"连用,但是不能单独使用。在非正式文体中"a"比较常见;当我们说话比较准确的时候就用"one",试比较:

I want to live for a hundred years.

The journey took exactly one hundred days.

(4)我们常常说eleven hundred(1,100),twelve hundred(1,200)等,而不说one thousand one hundred。从1,100到1,900之间的整数,这种说法最常见。

5位以上数字的读法

11,234读作:eleven thousand two hundred(and)thirty-four

155,721读作:one hundred(and)fifly-five thousand seven hundred(and)twenty-one

6,155,702读作:six million one hundred(and)fifty-five thousand seven hundred and two

26,000,008读作:twenty-six million and eight

326,414,718读作:three hundred(and)twenty-six million,four hundred(and)fourteen thousand,seven hundred(and)eighteen

4,302,000,000读作:four billion three hundred(and)two million

由以上一组数字可以看出,多位数由右向左每3位有一逗号,这个逗号的作用非同小可,在记忆数字时,它可以帮我们很大的忙!

逆向第一个逗号读thousand;向左再推三位,第二个逗号读million;第三个逗号读billion;第四个逗号读trillion。这几个逗号的作用在于,当我们听到若干thousand时,立即写下这个数,并在其后打一个逗号,并留出3位;当听到若干 million,则写下数字,并在其后打一逗号,留出6位;听到若干billion,方法同上,在后面留出9位,后面的million、thousand 依此法类推,让所有数字各就其位。

例如,当你听到"twenty thousand and four"写出20,"and four"意为后一组仅有个位,即:004,那么,这个数字完整地写下来就是20,004;若听到"six million twenty thousand four hundred and twenty-three,"则第一步先写:6,020,再将最后一组423写在第一个逗号后面。完整的翠字为6,020,423。由此可见这个三位一逗号的作用有多大。

只要我们在平时的训练中加强对三位数读写的训练,就能区分"ty"与"teen'',并能借助这个不可缺少的"逗号",无论数字多么大,也不会对我们造成障碍。

二. 序数词的读法

lst读作:(the)first

2nd读作:(the)second

3nd读作:(the)third

4th读作:(the)fourth

20th读作:(the)twentieth

21st读作:(the)twenty-first

22nd读作:(the)twenty-second

23rd读作:(the)twenty-third

其它以此类推。

三. 小数的读法

小数点"."读"point",小数点前按基数词的读法来读,小数点后的数若是两位以上,则分别读出。

0.5读作:zero point five

0.25读作:zerop point two five

0.125读作:zero point one two five

93,64m读作:ninety-three point six four meters

2'15.11''读作:two minutes fifteen point one one seconds

四. 年代及日期的读法

数字表示的年份通常分成两半来读:

2000B.C.读作:two thousand BC

1558读作:fifteen fifty-eight

1603读作:sixteen(hundred and)three/sixteen oh three

921读作:nine twenty-one

对于日期的表达,英式和美式有所不同,请注意区别:英式先写日子,美式先写月份:

英:1999年4月6日=6th April l999

美:1999年4月6日=April 6,1999

在读法上,英国人有两种表达方式:

April the sixth,nineteen ninety-nine/the sixth of April,nineteen ninety-nine

美国人则一般这样表示:

April sixth,nineteen ninety-nine(省略"the")

五. 钟点的读法

钟点的读法分英式和美式两种,我们应对此加以注意。

英:

7:00读作:seven o'clock a.m./p.m.

8:15读作:a quarter past eight/eight fifteen

9:30读作:half past nine/nine thirty

9:45读作:a quarter to ten/nine forty-five

10:03读作:three(minutes)past ten/ten oh three

美用法基本相似,只是英国用past之处,美国通常用after;英国用to之处,美国常用of,例如:

5:15读作:a quarter after five/five fifteen

9:45读作:a quarter of ten/nine forty-five

9:55读作:five of ten/nine fifty-five
