1.基本数字:
(1) 大 数:
英语和汉语读数方法的不同使得听音时不能及时反应出实际数字,在日常生活和考试中都会造成一定的麻烦。要想快速准确进行数字对应,首先要弄清两种数字系统的对应关系:
千亿 hundred billion 3
百亿 ten billion 2
十亿 billion 5,
亿 hundred million 8
千万 ten million 6
百万 million 7,
十万 hundred thousand 1
万 ten thousand 3
千 thousand 4
百 hundred 5
十 ten 2
个 one 9
通过比较我们可以看出,汉语中每位数字都有单独的名称,而英语中只有个,十,百,千,百万和十亿位的数字名称,每个数位的大小均以3位数表示。
如上图数字读作:three hundred twenty five billion, eight hundred sixty seven million, one hundred thirty four thousand and five hundred twenty nine.
掌握数字中的分节号,对掌握这种对应关系很有帮助,每个, 左面恰好是英语数字的一个数位名称thousand, million and billion,在汉语中分别是:千,百万和十亿.
请大家试读以下数字:
13,625,004,069
32,006,080,005
Answer:
Thirteen billion, six hundred twenty-five million, four thousand and sixty nine.
Thirty two billion, six million, eighty thousand and five.
(2)分数
分子用基数词,即one, two, three, four,分母用序数词,即first, second, third, fourth,分数线不读。
1/3 one third
5/8 five eighths. 分子大于1,分母用复数。
1/4 one quarter
3/4 three quarters
(3)小数
小数点读成point.
0.35 zero point thirty-five; nought point thirty-five; point thirty-five
(4)teen vs ty
听力中经常出现十几和几十的辩音。teen是长音,并且有明显的n鼻音,而几十ty是短音,且无任何鼻音。若在考试过程中未能分清,则猜几十ty。
