6.1.1 基数词构成法

1) 基数词(Cardinal Numerals)指表示数目的词。下面是最基本的基数词,其他数目都由这些基数词构成:

2) 基数词构成法:

除了上表列出的词外,其他基数词构成的方法如下:

a. 21—99: 先说“几十”,再说“几”,中间要加连字号:

39 thirty-nine      52 fifty-two

83 eighty-three      91 ninety-one

b. 101—999: 先说“几百”,再加and,再加末尾两位数或末位数:

375 three hundred and seventy-five

582 five hundred and eighty-two

819 eight hundred and nineteen

902 nine hundred and two

c. 1,000以上的词:

先从后向前数,每三位数加一个逗号,用这个方法把数目分作若干段,再一段段地念;第一个逗号前的数为thousand,第二个逗号前的数为million,第三个逗号前的数为billion,例如:

4,007            four thousand and seven

8,021            eight thousand and twenty-one

13,849            thirteen thousand, eight hundred and forty-nine

631,562           six hundred and thirty-one thousand, five hundred and

               sixty-two

54,256,000          fifty-four million, two hundred and fifty-six thousand

970,000,000         nine hundred and seventy million

14,800,000,000        fourteen billion eight hundred million

2,000,000,000,000      two trillion (两万亿)

在这类数词中,hundred, thousand, million, billion等词都用单数形式。
