◆1000以上数字的表示方法
先从右至左数,每三位数加一个逗号(即以此把数目分为若干段)。第一个逗号前的数为thousand(千),第二个逗号前的数million(百万),然后一段一段地数:
6, 863 six thousand, eight hundred and sixty-three
45, 256 forty-five thousand, two hundred and fifty-six
365, 261 three hundred and sixty-five thousand, two hundred and sixty-one
50, 331, 250 fifty million, three hundred and thirty-one thousand, two hundred and fifty
【几点注意】
① 英语没有“万”这个单位,要表示“万”须借用thousand,如“一万”用“十千”表示(ten thousand),“十万”用“百千”表示(one hundred thousand)。(from www.zkenglish.com)
② hundred, thousand, million等词在读数时不带复数词尾-s(即用单数形式):
正:three hundred and thirty-five (335) / two thousand and forty-one (2041)
误:three hundreds and thirty-five (335) / two thousands and forty-one (2041)
但是,若不是用于读数,而是用于泛指许多,则用复数:
Thousands of people went there. 数千人去了那儿。
Millions of workers lost their work. 数百万人失业。
③ 在hundred 后通常加上连词,不过此and 在美国英语中可以省略。若读数中没有 hundred,则在thousand
