one billion是一億?90是ninty還是ninety?
學英文的過程中,光是單字、文法、句型就已經記不完了,還有令人混淆的數字!別慌,我們今天就來把英文數字給熟悉熟悉,多看幾次記起來,下回看英文財經報紙雜誌就不會再弄錯囉!

另外,有小數點的數字怎麼讀呢?
15.23 讀作 fifteen point two three
90.59 讀作 ninety point five nine
小數點後面的數字就直接讀出數字即可
那,分數怎麼讀?
二分之一 讀作 a half或one half
三分之一 讀作 a third
四分之一 讀作 a quarter
五分之四 讀作 four-fifths
六又八分之七 讀作 six and seven-eighths
最後,常用到的貨幣數字怎麼讀呢?
NTD2,315讀作 two thousand three hundred (and) fifteen NT dollars
USD5.27讀作 five dollars (and) twenty seven (cents) 或是 five twenty seven
(通常講dollar(s)就是指美金,除非對話中有多種貨幣才會加上US作區別)
說到美金,小編日前意外發現,才放了半年的美鈔竟然有發霉的現象!(註:不是電影裡面那種一整個行李箱的美鈔,只是幾張沒花完的零鈔啦!)不過別擔心,用衛生紙擦一擦鈔票即可。所以在此提醒家裡有美鈔的朋友們,留意存放的地方別太潮濕,記得偶爾巡一下紙鈔的健康狀況囉!
