日期的表达既可以先说天，也可以先说月份。 1月1日：the first of January / January the first. 2009年3月22日（去年） March the twenty-second 2009 / the twenty-second of March last year 去年此时：this time last year 在书面语中见到的日期在口语中一定要用序数词表示: (October 1) October the first / the first of October (May 2) May the second / the second of May (March 23) March the twenty-third / the twenty-third of May 常见序数词的表达及发音如下: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth (only one "t") ninth (no "e") 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th eleventh twelfth ("f", not "v") thirteenth fourteenth fifteenth sixteenth seventeenth eighteenth nineteenth 20th 30th 40th 50th 60th 70th 80th 90th twentieth thirtieth fortieth fiftieth sixtieth seventieth eightieth ninetieth 十位数序数词的构成: 基数词+连字符(-) + 序数词, 如21st, 20th. 21st 25th 32nd 58th 64th 79th 83rd 99th twenty-first twenty-fifth thirty-second fifty-eighth sixty-fourth seventy-ninth eighty-third ninety-ninth 百位以上整数的序数词: thousandth, millionth, billionth 同时注意在日期前使用的介词是on。例如：on the 14th of December 指出是哪个日期时，应用It’s . 例如 It’s April the first. 年份的说法： 通常在提到2000年之前的某一年时，我们把这四位数分成两部分来说。 1972 = nineteen seventy-two 1826 = eighteen twenty-six 2000年之后的年份，大多人（尤其是英式英语中）表述为 two thousand and X. 2009 = two thousand and nine. 也有一些年轻人将这四位数分成两部分来说 2008 = twenty oh eight 2010 = twenty ten 在谈论到小数，比例和百分比的时候，应该这样说： 1/2 = one half 1/3 = one third 1/4 = one quarter 1/5 = one fifth 1/6 = one sixth 4/5 = four fifths 1.3% = one point three percent 0.3% = nought / zero point three percent 2:1 = two to one 数字0 在不同的情况下说法也不同 足球等大多数体育运动比赛 3 : 0 = three nil 网球比赛与其他比赛比分说法完全不同 30 – 0 = Thirty love 电话号码中0多读成oh 406 2177 = four oh six… 小数中0可以说nought 也可以说zero 0.7 = nought point seven / zero point seven 温度中0多表示为zero 0 .C = zero degrees 在谈论加减乘除的运算时应该这样说 + (plus) 3 + 2 = 5 (three plus two equals five) - (minus / take away) 6 – 4 = 2 (six minus four equals two / six take away four equals two) x (multiplied by / times) 3 x 4 = 12 (three multiplied by four equals twelve / three times four equals twelve) / (divided by) 8 / 2 = 4 (eight divided by two equals four) |
