年月日时间数字表达

1年份

1）一般情况下，将表示年份的四个数字按前后分为两组，每一组的数字都按基数词来读。例如：1865年读作eighteen sixty-five

1998年读作nineteen ninety-eight

2）如果前两个数字为非“零”数字，后两位数分别为“零”，则先读出前两位数，然后将后面的两个“零”读为hundred。

例如：1900年读作nineteen hundred 1800年读作eighteen hundred 3）第三个数字为“零”（其他数字不是“零”）的年份的读法应当将该“零”读为O〔u〕。例如：1809年读作eighteen O nine

4）关于千年的一些读法。2000年读作two thousand 2008年读作two thousand and eight（或twenty O eight）

2．日期日期是我们在日常生活中经常用到的数字之一。日期的写法可以采用基数词和序数词两种形式。例如：March 1也可以写成March 1st；May 29也可以写成May 29th。但是，日期的读法只能用序数词的形式。例如：October 31（October 31st）读作October （the）thirty-first August 26（August 26th）读作August（the）twenty-sixth

3．时间时间的读法有以下一些特点：

1）可以直接按照表示时间的数字来读。例如：10：56读作ten fifty six 8：30读作eight thirty

2）正点后的前半小时，通常说几点“过”（past）几分。例如：9：25读作twenty-five past nine 2：16读作sixteen past two

3）正点后的后半小时，通常说几点“差”（to）几分。此时，所说的“几点”指的是“正点”后的下一个“正点”。例如：10：55读作five to eleven 8：40读作twenty to nine 4）英语中的15分钟也可以说成“一刻钟”（a quarter）。例如：4：15读作a quarter past four 7：45读作a quarter to eight 45分钟读作three quarters

一.基数词: 表示数目的数词

1.两位数: 几十和个位数之间加连词号, 如: twenty-three, forty-seven, ninety-six

2.三位数的读法: 第一个数字+hundred + and +后面的一位或两位数字, 如: 101读作one hundred and one, 864读作eight hundred and sixty-four

3.四位数和四位以上数字的读法: 阿拉伯数字每三位为一段, 从后往前用逗号分开, 每个逗号处所用的数词分别为: thousand, million, billion, 如: 21,634,755读作twenty-one million six hundred and thirty-four thousand seven hundred and fifty-five. 注意: 读这样的数时, 只在hundred一词后加and

4.hundred, thousand, million, billion表示具体数目时都不用复数形式, 但它们的复数形式可以用于一些词组中, 如: hundreds of, thousands of, millions of, billions of.

5.数词dozen, score的用法与hundred, thousand等相同

二.序数词: 表示数目顺序的词

1.序数词一般是由基数词加th构成, 序数词前一定要加the, 如: the seventh, the thirteenth, the one hundredth

2.以y结尾的基数词构成序数词时, 先把y变为i, 再加eth, 如: the twentieth, the fortieth, the fiftieth, the eightieth

3.大于二十的基数词对应的序数词, 只将末位数变为序数词, 前面的其他位数仍用基数词, 如: 第532读作five hundred and thirty-second

4.不规则的序数词如下: the first, the second, the third, the fifth, the eighth, the ninth, the twelfth
