◇ 101 one hundred and one

◇ 225 two hundred and twenty five

hundred，thousand和million在合成数词中一般用单数形式，但是用来表示不定

数目时，用作复数形式。例：

◇ Hundreds of workers will go onstrike．

◇ Thousands of people are swimmingin the river．

此时 hundred，thousand等词前没有数词修饰，且通常其复数形式与of 连用。

序数词的构成与用法

（1） 序数词的构成

① 一般来说，是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成。例：

◇ four ＋ th → fourth ◇ six ＋ th → sixth

◇ seven ＋ th → seventh ◇ ten ＋ th → tenth

② 下面这些基数词在变为序数词时，有特殊的变化。例：

◇ one → first ◇ two → second ◇ three → third

◇ five → fifth ◇ eight → eighth ◇ nine → ninth

◇ twelve → twelfth

③ 十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i，然后再加eth。例：

◇ twenty → twentieth ◇ thirty → thirtieth

◇ forty → fortieth ◇ ninety → ninetieth

④ 两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时，仅将个位数变成序数词。例：

◇ twenty－one → twenty－first

◇ thirty－five → thirty－fifth

◇ a hundred andfifty－three → a hundred and fifty－third

（2） 序数词的用法

① 序数词在使用时，一般加上定冠词。例：

◇ the first book ◇ the second floor

◇ the third day ◇ the fourth week．

② 序数词在多数情况下都用作定语，有的也可以作表语、主语和宾语。例：

◇ The may 1st is Labour Day．

五月一日是劳动节。

◇ My room is on the second floor．

我的房间在二楼。

◇ The first is larger than the second． （主语）

第一个比第二个大。

◇ Read the book from the first．（宾语）

从开头读这本书。

◇ You’ll be the sixth to write． （表语）

你将是第六个写的。

③ 序数词的前面可以加上不定冠词，用来表示“再一”，“又一”的意思。例：

◇ You may have a third try．

你可以第三次尝试。

（3） 时间表示法

① 时间都由基数词表示。例：

◇ It’s nine．

现在九点。

◇ It’s not five yet．

还不到五点。

有时后面要加o’clock，但在口语中通常省略。

② 几点几分表示法有两种形式。

A．倒读法：与汉语顺序不同，先读“分”后说“点”。30分钟以内，用“分钟数”＋past ＋“钟点数”表示“几点过几分”，超过30分钟，用“分钟数”＋ to＋ “下一个钟点数”表示“差几分到几点”。15分钟也可以用a quarter，30分钟也可以用a half。例：

◇ 2：15 a quarter past two

◇ 2：45 a quarter to three

◇ 1：55 five to two

◇ 7：05 five past seven

◇ 5：35 thirty five past five

◇ 9：30 half past nine

只有指几点钟整时才用o’clock，如teno’clock，但不可以说seven past

ten o’clock．

B．顺读法：与汉语顺序相同，连用两个基数词，第一个表示“点钟”，第二个表示“分钟”。例：

◇ 5：40 five forty

◇ 2：30 two thirty

◇ 1：15 one fifteen

这时的15和30不能用a quater, a half代替。

（4） 日期表示法

① 年的读法：用基数词，分成两位一读。例：

◇ 1949 nineteen forty－nine

◇ 1840 eighteen forty

② 月份的名称要大写。例：

◇ January ◇ February ◇ March ◇ April

③ 日期用序数词表示，前面可加the，也可以省略。例：

◇ 5月4日 May （the） fourth

◇ 10月1日 October （the） first

④ 年、月、日的顺序：在英语中， 按月、日、年的顺序来读。例：

◇ 1949年10月1日 October （the） firstnineteen forty－nine

◇ 1999年5月1日 May （the） first nineteenninety－nine

表示在“在某年、在某月”用介词in，如in2000，in September，表示“在某日

”用介词on，如on July 8。

（5） 编号的读法

① 表示“第几课（部分，章或节）”时，用序数词时，前面一定要加冠词；用基数词时，不用冠词，但

语序与汉语相反。例：

◇ lesson one → the first lesson

◇ part three → the third part

② 当数字较长时，通常用基数词。例：

◇ 第219页 page 219 （two one nine）

◇ 第306号房间 room 306 （three o six）

◇ 第六路公共汽车 bus number six

◇ 电话号码 885316 telephone number 885316 （eight eight

five three one six）

（6） 倍数的用法

① The train arrived half an hour late．

火车晚到了半个小时。

half 是形容词。

② He has three times as many books as I have．

他的书有我的三倍多。

“～的几倍”的说法，两倍用twice，注意表示倍数的词在句中的位置。

你自己比较着做吧
