  • Odie的英语课 455 Large numbers

    454 复习

    She loves animals and has two dogs and three cats. 她很喜欢动物,养了两只狗和三只猫。

    My two best friends are Sandra and Louise. 我最好的两个朋友是Sandra和Louise。

    Three of his colleagues were fired yesterday. 他的三个同事昨天被解雇了。

    The children arrived in twos and threes. 孩子们三三两两地到达了。


    这节课我们来讲讲大点的数(large numbers)

    a hundred 

    一百

    a thousand

    一千

    a million

    一百万


    请大家跟我读

    a hundred 

    a thousand

    a million


    What would you do if you won a million euros?

    如果赚了一百万欧元,你会做什么呢?

    won 是 win 的过去时,win 赚,赢


    说一百,一千时,通常用 a 表示“一”,表示强调的时候才用 one —> one hundred,one thousand,one million

    说两百,二千时,hundred、thousand后面不加s,不用复数。比如,

    两百 two hundred

    两百人 two hundred people


    什么时候用复数呢?

    the hundreds 数百,好几百


    后面加介词 of 时:

    hundreds of 好几百,成百上千(hundreds of people 好几百人)

    thousands of 好几千,成千上万(thousands of people 好几千人)

    millions of 好几百万,数百万(millions of people 好几百万人)


    当我们用复数 hundreds,thousands,millions 的时候,表示很大的数字,不是具体的数字。


    最后,在英文中,一个大数常常用逗号每三位(每千位)分隔开。
