大额数字书写技巧:
(1) 大额数字以“千(thousand)”“百万(million)”“十亿(billion)”为
递进单位,每三位为一组,用逗号分隔:
• 千位:1,000(one thousand)
• 万位:10,000(ten thousand)
• 十万位:100,000(one hundred thousand)
• 百万位:1,000,000(one million)
• 十亿位:1,000,000,000(one billion)
(2) 书写技巧:百位与十位之间有“and”连接;每三个数字为一个单位
22
5,764
five thousand, seven hundred and sixty-four
265,468
two hundred and sixty-five thousand, four hundred and sixty-eight
19,357,095
nineteen million, three hundred and fifty-seven thousand, and ninety-five
注意:
(1)英语没有“万”这个单位,要表示“万”须借用thousand,如“一万”用“十个千(ten thousand)”
表示,“十万”用“百个千(one hundred thousand)”表示。
(2)在hundred 后通常加上连词and。若读数中百位数为0,则在thousand后加and。
1. Mount Kilimanjaro is _________ (five thousand, eight hundred and ninety-five) metres high.
2. _________ (twenty-five thousand, seven hundred and sixty-eight) cubic metres of water pours down Inga Falls each second.
