要搞定數(shù)字的翻譯,首先你要從個位起,每隔3位加個“,”然后還得知道5個基本詞
百 = hundred
千 = thousand
百萬 = million
十億 = billion
萬億 = trillion
接下來是最簡單的整數(shù) ↓
100 = one hundred
第一個逗號前的數(shù)字讀成thousand
1,000 = one thousand
10,000 = ten thousand(1萬=10千)
100,000 = one hundred thousand(10萬=100個千)
第二個逗號前的數(shù)字讀成million
1,000,000 = one million
10,000,000 = ten million(1千萬=10個百萬)
100,000,000 = one hundred million(1億=100個百萬)
第三個逗號前的數(shù)字讀成billion
1,000,000,000 = one billion
第四個逗號前的數(shù)字讀成trillion
1,000,000,000,000 = one trillion
先問個簡單的→200的英文?
200 = two hundred,hundred用單數(shù),別問為啥,這是規(guī)則~~
同理,300 = three hundred,4,000 = four thousand,五百萬 = five million,80億 = eight billion。
來個小測試:912.17億的正確英文說法應該是什么?
91.217 billion
記好了,當說到具體數(shù)字時,hundred/ thousand/ million/billion統(tǒng)統(tǒng)都用單數(shù)?。?!
幾百 = hundreds of,你沒看錯,這里hundreds用復數(shù)啦!這也是規(guī)則,不是具體數(shù)字反而用復數(shù)。
同理,幾千 = thousands of,更猛的是hundreds of thousands of = 幾十萬、很多很多的。222 = two hundred and twenty-two。記住一條,數(shù)數(shù)時有且只有hundred后面跟and!?。?/span>
1234 = one thousand, two hundred and thirty-four。
練習
123,456,789的英文?
123,456,789 = one hundred and twenty-three million, four hundred and fifty-six thousand, seven hundred and eighty-nine.
