在英语中,数字的基本单位有:hundred(百) ,thousand(千) ,million(百万) ,billion(十亿) ,trillion(万亿,兆) 。300 读作 three hundred 5000 读作 five thousand.对于万以上的数字,我们该如何表达呢?这就要记住英语数字读法特点。以下面一个数字为例:
注意每三个数为一个单位,按照百、十、个向下读。
6

大数字的表达方法

大数字的英文读法
具体数字读法: 以数字345,678,912为例:
1)从右向左划分:按照三位一节,用逗号隔开,这个数字可划分为345,678,912。从右往左,第一个逗号前是千(thousand),第二个逗号前是百万(million),第三个逗号前是十亿(billion)
2)依次读出每一节: 最右边一节912,读作“nine hundred and twelve”(注意,在英式英语中,百位和十位之间常用“and”连接,美式英语中,“and”可省略)。 中间一节678,读作“six hundred and seventy-eight”,加上它的单位“thousand”,这部分就读作“six hundred and seventy-eight thousand”。最左边一节345,读作“three hundred and forty-five”,加上单位“million”,这部分读作“three hundred and forty-five million"。
注意:小数点读作“point”,小数点左边的数按整数读法读,右边的数依次读出每个数字。例如:
3.14读作“three point one four”
8848.86 读作“eight thousand,eight hundred and forty-eight point eight six" .
3)组合起来:整个数字就读作“three hundred and forty-five million, six hundred and seventy-eight thousand, nine hundred and twelve"。
注意
①and 只在百位和十位之间。
②十位和个位之间要有连字符。
③逗号之间并列写即可,无 and 和连字符。
④hundred、thousand、million、billion前面有具体的数字时,用单数;后面有of时,用复数。
含小数点的数字读法
(1)小数点读 point;
(2)小数点右面的小数部分按照个位基数词依次读出;
(3)小数点后面遇到 0时,可读 zero,可读字母 O。
2,506,981,765.34 读作:two billion, five hundred and six
million, nine hundred and eighty-one thousand, seven hundred
and sixty-five point three four
