很多人看到数字就头疼,更不要说是上百万上亿的数字了。于是,经常会在英语邮件里出现19,456 thousand这样的表达。这个用法其实是错的,英语里表示数字有一套约定俗成的办法,不能这么“乱来”。
19.456 thousand or 19,456 thousand should therefore be written in English in either of the following ways:
所以,19.456千,或者19,456千应该按照下面这样的方式写才对:
19,456,000 or 19.456 million (read as “nineteen million, four hundred and fifty-six thousand” or “nineteen point four-five-six million”)
19,456,000 或者19.456 million(读作,一千九百四十五万六千)。
