這批貨船運要花多長時間？
    * come to 達(dá)到，總計為
    eg. The total price comes to ₤100.
    價格總計達(dá)到100英鎊。
    * round ... off 將……[數(shù)字]取整，四舍五入
    eg. If we round ₤931 off, we get ₤930.
    將931英鎊取整，得930英鎊。
    * reliable 可靠
    * average life （商品）平均使用壽命
    shelf life 儲存期限，貨架壽命
    * product features 產(chǎn)品特征
    * personal computer 個人電腦[簡稱PC]
    * sheet 單，表來源：考試大
    eg. quotation sheet 報價單
    # 補(bǔ)充說明：
    首先補(bǔ)充一下小數(shù)的讀法。請看下例：
    1.1 = one point one
    1.25 = one point tow five （而不是one point twenty-five）
    1.375 = one point three seven five
    1.01 = one point o one
    0.5 = o point five /point five
    另外，在實際業(yè)務(wù)中，我們常常不用表示長、寬、高的詞， 而簡單地說成"33 X 24 X 10 cm"，讀thirty-three by twenty- four by ten centimetres".這里的"by"即乘號的讀法。
    此外，在許多地方度量衡的單位不用公制而是用英制，請看下面的例子：
    1 in. [one inch] 一英寸
    2 in. [two inches] 二英寸
    1 yd. [one yard] 一碼
    2 yd. [two yards] 兩碼
    1 ft. [one foot] 一英尺
    2 ft. [two feet] 兩英尺 [注意：英尺的復(fù)數(shù)形式為feet]
    one mile 一英里
    two miles 二英里
