數字英文唸法(一):超簡單規則,大型英文數字怎麼念?
如果要用英文從0數到100,相信對很多人來說都不是件難事 🥲
但如果今天看到一個巨大的數字如 11,593,820,075,604,你有辦法馬上唸出來嗎?
這篇文章將從零開始,從小到大一步一步帶你理解數字的英文唸法,
以後不管看到多大的數字都能馬上用英文講出來囉 😂!
以下將依數字大小分成三部分,可以按照自己的程度跳到需要學習的部分:
0~99
只要三步驟,很快就能把0~99的數字英文讀法學起來囉!
0~12比較沒有規則和訣竅,建議可以直接背起來,到了13~19則幾乎都是由個位數的單字當開頭直接加上「teen」結尾,但要特別注意13跟15是例外,以下附上對照表:
0 | zero | 10 | ten |
1 | one | 11 | eleven |
2 | two | 12 | twelve |
3 | three | 13 | thirteen |
4 | four | 14 | fourteen |
5 | five | 15 | fifteen |
6 | six | 16 | sixteen |
7 | seven | 17 | seventeen |
8 | eight | 18 | eighteen |
9 | nine | 19 | nineteen |
如果你12~19都背熟了,那這步驟就輕鬆囉~ 因為基本上只要把「teen」換成「ty」就行囉,但要特別注意12和14的例外,尤其是14最常被搞混哦:
12 | twelve | 20 | twenty |
13 | thirteen | 30 | thirty |
14 | fourteen | 40 | forty |
15 | fifteen | 50 | fifty |
16 | sixteen | 60 | sixty |
17 | seventeen | 70 | seventy |
18 | eighteen | 80 | eighty |
19 | nineteen | 90 | ninety |
如果前面兩步都沒問題了,那恭喜你已經自動學會第三步了!因為0~99中,上面還沒有提到的數字,都是直接用十位數加上個位數就可以囉~ 隨便以74為例,就是seventy加上four等於seventy-four。
現在你可以隨便想幾個0~99間的數字,並練習把它們寫下來和讀出來,接著用下方這張表來檢查看看有沒有完全理解哦!
0 | zero | 10 | ten | 20 | twenty | 30 | thirty | 40 | forty |
1 | one | 11 | eleven | 21 | twenty-one | 31 | thirty-one | 41 | forty-one |
2 | two | 12 | twelve | 22 | twenty-two | 32 | thirty-two | 42 | forty-two |
3 | three | 13 | thirteen | 23 | twenty-three | 33 | thirty-three | 43 | forty-three |
4 | four | 14 | fourteen | 24 | twenty-four | 34 | thirty-four | 44 | forty-four |
5 | five | 15 | fifteen | 25 | twenty-five | 35 | thirty-five | 45 | forty-five |
6 | six | 16 | sixteen | 26 | twenty-six | 36 | thirty-six | 46 | forty-six |
7 | seven | 17 | seventeen | 27 | twenty-seven | 37 | thirty-seven | 47 | forty-seven |
8 | eight | 18 | eighteen | 28 | twenty-eight | 38 | thirty-eight | 48 | forty-eight |
9 | nine | 19 | nineteen | 29 | twenty-nine | 39 | thirty-nine | 49 | forty-nine |
50 | fifty | 60 | sixty | 70 | seventy | 80 | eighty | 90 | ninety |
51 | fifty-one | 61 | sixty-one | 71 | seventy-one | 81 | eighty-one | 91 | ninety-one |
52 | fifty-two | 62 | sixty-two | 72 | seventy-two | 82 | eighty-two | 92 | ninety-two |
53 | fifty-three | 63 | sixty-three | 73 | seventy-three | 83 | eighty-three | 93 | ninety-three |
54 | fifty-four | 64 | sixty-four | 74 | seventy-four | 84 | eighty-four | 94 | ninety-four |
55 | fifty-five | 65 | sixty-five | 75 | seventy-five | 85 | eighty-five | 95 | ninety-five |
56 | fifty-six | 66 | sixty-six | 76 | seventy-six | 86 | eighty-six | 96 | ninety-six |
57 | fifty-seven | 67 | sixty-seven | 77 | seventy-seven | 87 | eighty-seven | 97 | ninety-seven |
58 | fifty-eight | 68 | sixty-eight | 78 | seventy-eight | 88 | eighty-eight | 98 | ninety-eight |
59 | fifty-nine | 69 | sixty-nine | 79 | seventy-nine | 89 | eighty-nine | 99 | ninety-nine |
首先只要知道「百」的英文是hundred,接下來只要將個位數的英文加上hundred就可以了。要注意的是,100除了one hundred外也可以講a hundred:
100 | one / a hundred |
200 | two hundred |
300 | three hundred |
400 | four hundred |
500 | five hundred |
600 | six hundred |
700 | seven hundred |
800 | eight hundred |
900 | nine hundred |
接下來,把上一步的百位數英文加上十位數或個位數的英文,101~999 就學完了,比如說:
487 -> four hundred and eighty-seven
109 -> one hundred and nine
715 -> seven hundred and fifteen
要注意的是,在美式英文中,有時會把百位數後面用來連接的and省略,英式英文則一律會加and。
如果你 1~999 都會唸了
接下來只需要記住兩個重點:
1. 每三個位數為一組 (可以練習用逗號分隔)
2. 加上正確的單位
這邊附上每個逗號的單位對照表:
1,000 | thousand (千) |
1,000,000 | million (百萬) |
1,000,000,000 | billion (十億) |
1,000,000,000,000 | trillion (兆) |
所以假設你看到 948,794
先從第一組數字開始:
nine hundred and forty-eight thousand
這邊只有一個逗號,所以對應的就是thuosand
接著再唸下一組:
seven hundred and ninety-four
所以全部加起來就是:
nine hundred and forty-eight thousand, seven hundred and ninety-four
回到文章一開始提到的數字 11,593,820,075,604,先練習看看,再往下看解答吧!
解答:eleven trillion, five hundred and ninety-three billion, eight hundred and twenty million, seventy-five thousand, six hundred and four
