(1)基數(shù)詞的讀法
我們先從基數(shù)詞人手。首先掌握三位以內(nèi)數(shù)字的讀法,因?yàn)樗嵌辔粩?shù)字的基礎(chǔ),一旦熟練掌握,再借助一個(gè)逗號,便可輕松應(yīng)付四位以上任何龐大的數(shù)字。我們可以通過例子來說明這一點(diǎn)。
①3-5位數(shù)的讀法
202讀作:two hundred(and)two
234讀作:two hundred(and)thirty-four
1, 234讀作:one thousand two hundred(and)thirty four
但是在讀法上須注意以下幾點(diǎn):
a.在英式英語中,一個(gè)數(shù)的最后兩位(十位和個(gè)位)得用"and\'',但美式英語中則不用。如:3,077讀作:US:three thousand seventy-seven.
b.不定冠詞"a"只在數(shù)的開頭才和hundred,thousand等連用。試比較:
146讀作:ahundred(and)forty-six
2,146讀作:twothousand,one hundred(and)forty six
c.1,000這個(gè)整數(shù)我們說athousand,在and前我們也說a thousand,但是在一個(gè)有百位數(shù)的數(shù)目前就得說one thousand試比較:
1,031讀作:a thousand,(and)thirty-one,
1,150讀作:one thousand,one hundred(and)fifty
d.hundred,thousand和million這幾個(gè)詞的單數(shù)可以和:"a"者"one"連用,但是不能單獨(dú)使用。在非正式文體中"a"比較常見;當(dāng)我們說話比較準(zhǔn)確的時(shí)候就用"one"試比較:
I Want to live for a hundred years.
The journey took exactly one hundred days.
e.我們常常說eleven hundred(1,100),twelve hundred(1,200)等,而不說one thous and one hundred.從1,100到1,900之間的整數(shù),這種說法最常見。
5位以上數(shù)字的讀法
11,234讀作:eleven thousand two hundred(and),thirty-four
155,721讀作:one hundred(and)fifly-fivethous and seven hundred(and)twenty-one
6,155,702讀作:six million one hundred(and)fifly-five thous and seven hundred and two
26,000,008讀作:twenty-six million and eight
326,414,718讀作:three hundred(and)twenty-six mil-lion,four hundred(and)four teen thous and,seven hundred(and)eigh-teen
