3.其他数字表示法

小数的小数点读作point,零读作o[u]或zero,小数点后面的数字按个位基数词依次读出。分数分子用基数词,分母用序数词,当分子大于1 时,分数要在序数词上加s,但1/2用one half, 1/4 用a quarter. 1/3 读作one third而 2/3 读作two thirds。 百分数(%),读作per cent (percent),但不论是多少均用作单数形式不能加s。表示日期有两种说法和四种写法,如:2月1号英语表达法为:the first of February而美语为February (the) first,但其书写上可有四种写法①February 1 ②February 1st ③1st February ④1/2。 倍数的讲法有所不同。两倍用twice,而三倍以上用序数词加times,如:He has three times as many books as I have.

(二)正误辨析

[误] 1107 should be read as a thousand a hundred as seven.

[正] 1107 should be read as one thousand one hundred and seven.

[析] 在读数字时,如:and前只有百或千时,用one hundred/ one thousand 还是a hundred /a thousand全是可以的。但如果文有百又有千时,则只能用one不要用a。 如果没有and时,如:1100也只能读作one thousand one hundred 或eleven hundred.

[误] I drove about half mile.

[正] I drove about half a mile.

[析] 半小时为half an hour, 半天为half a day, 半镑为half a pound, 尽量避免用half a year, half a month, 要用six months, two weeks 或 fifteen days 要注意的是Half of the work is done? Half of the books are sold. 当Half 作名词时,其谓语动词要看of后面的名词而定。如名词是不可数名词则用单数谓语动词,如是复数名词时,则要用复数谓语动词。要注意的是一个半的表达法, 如:One and a half apples is left on the table.其名词要用复数,但谓语动词则要用单数。

[误] 60 students are playing on the ground.

[正] Sixty students are playing on the ground.

[析] 在句首的数字要用文字而不要用阿拉伯数字,如数字过大则应放于句中,用阿拉伯数字。如: There are 166 students playing on the ground.

[误] He became famous around fifty years old.

[正] He became famous in his fifties.

[析] in his fifties 50多岁时,而in the fiflies 在50年代。

[误] There are about two thousands workers in our factory.

[正] There are about two thousand workers in our factory.

[析] 几千,几百的表达法是基数词加thousand或加hundred,而且均不要加s。这样的单位还有dozen(打), score (20年)等。
