在英语口语中,小数、百分数以及倍数的表达很繁琐又很拗口,在日常口语中,如何桥面地将它们表达出来呢?和出国留学网小编一起来看一下吧!
1. 小数表示法
小数点左边的数通常按基数词读,若为三位以上的数,也可按编码式读法读出,即将数字单个读出;小数点右边的数通常按编码式读法单个读出。如:
6.86 six point eight six
14.15 fourteen point one five
345.456 three four five point four five six
或three hundred and forty-five point four five six
(2) 小数中“0”的读法
“0”在小数中通常读作nought(英)或zero(美),也可读作字母o。如:
0.08 (nought)point nought eight 或 (zero)point zero eight
9.07 nine point o seven
2. 百分数表示法
百分数中的百分号%读作percent。如:
6% 读作 six percent
0.6% 读作 (nought) point six percent
500% 读作 five hundred percent
3. 倍数表示法
倍数表示方法很多,如:
This room is four times as big as mine. 这个房间是我房间的四倍。
This room is three times larger than that one. 这个房间比那个房间大两倍。
The output of coal has doubled. 煤的产量增加了一倍。
My aunt is as old again as I am. 我姑姑年龄比我大一倍。
Productivity is increased three fold. 生产效率提高了两倍。
The volume of the Sun is about 1,300,000 times that of the Earth.
太阳的体积约为地球的1300000倍。
4. 分数表示法
(1) 较小分数的一般读写方法。如:
1/3 one-third 2/3 two-thirds 3/5 three-fifths
(2) 较复杂分数的简明读写方法。如
22/9 twenty-two over nine
a/b a over b 或 a divided by b 43/97 forty-three over ninety-seven
(3) 整数与分数之间须用and连接。如:
