专升本英语考试中,翻译题型会出现对数字表达的考核,要掌握这些,首先要熟记:one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine, ten。
从个位起,每隔3位加个“,”然后还要熟记以下5个基本“单位”词:
百=hundred
千=thousand
万=million
十亿=billion
万亿=trillion
然后是整数:
300=three hundred
第一个“,”前面的数字读成thousand。
1,000=one thousand
20,000=twenty thousand(2万=20个千)
300,000=three hundred thousand(30万=300个千)
第二个“,”前面的数字读成million。
1,000,000=one million
20,000,000= twenty million(2千万=20个百万)
300,000,000= three hundred million(3个亿=300个百万)
第三个“,”前面的数字读成billion。
1,000,000,000=one billion
第四个“,”前面的数字读成trillion。
1,000,000,000,000=one trillion
说到具体数字时, hundred,thousand,million,billion,trillion都用单数,例如200= two hundred,3000=three thousand,400,000=five million,12.12亿正确的英文译法是12.12 billion。
不是具体数字时,hundred,thousand,million,billion,trillion都用复数,例如几百=hundreds of,这两条别问为什么,记住!
111=one hundred and eleven,123=one hundred and twenty-three。数数时只有hundred后面加and,例如1234=one thousand, two hundred and thirty-four,123,456,789=one hundred and twenty-three million, four hundred and fifty-six thousand, seven hundred and eighty-nine中,只有hundred后加and。
