60阅兵英语中数字的表达和用法

2021年1月16日发(作者：书到用时方恨少作文)
我们生活在数的世界里，每时每刻都与各种数字打交道。从人口数量、价格、速度、高
度、产量 、时刻、年代、日期到比例、温度、银行账号、电话号码，生活中充满了数字，
正因为如此，数字与计算 在英语听力教学中占有相当的比重。培养自己的耳朵对英文数字
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。能流利地读出各种 数字是记忆数字的前提。
(1)基数词的读法
我们先从基数词人手。首先掌握三位以内数字的读 法，因为它是多位数字的基础，一旦熟
练掌握，再借助一个逗号，便可轻松应付四位以上任何庞大的数字 。我们可以通过例子来
说明这一点。
①3-5位数的读法
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：
a．在英式 英语中，一个数的最后两位(十位和个位)得用，但美式英语中则不用。
如：3，077读作：US：t hree thousand seventy-seven．
b．不定冠词只在数的开头才和hund red，thousand等连用。试比较：
146读作：ahundred(and)forty- six
2，146读作：twothousand，one hundred(and)forty six
c.1，000这个整数我们说athousand，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
d，thousand和million这几个词的单数可以和：者连用，但是不能单独
使用。 在非正式文体中比较常见；当我们说话比较准确的时候就用试比较：
I Want to live for a hundred years．
The journey took exactly one hundred days．
e.我们常常说eleven hundred(1，100)，twelve hundred(1,200)等，而不说one thous and
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-fivethous and seven hundred(and)twenty-one
6，155，702读作：six million one hundred(and)fifly-five thous and seven hundred and
two
26，000，008读作：twenty-six million and eight
326，414，718读作：three hundred(and)twenty- six mil-lion，four hundred(and)four teen
thous and，seven hundred(and)eigh- teen
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 个逗号就是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、tho usand依此法类推，让所有数字各就其位。
例如，当你听到thous and andfour' '写出20，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20，00 4；若听到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。若听到billion，one hundred and
four million，twenty thousand four hundred and twenty-th ree：主第一步写出1，104，第
二步接下去写第三组020，第三步二写423，这样得到的完整 数字便是 1，104，020，
423，由此：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，能分辨与，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。
