知识聚焦
数词分为基数词和序数词。用于表示数目的词称 为基数词。
1. 基数词的构成
(1) 从 1—10 one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine,ten (2) 从 11—19
eleven,twelve,thirteen,fourteen,fifteen,sixteen,
seventeen,eighteen,nineteen.
这里除 eleven,twelve,thirteen,fifteen,eighteen 为 特殊形式外,fourteen,sixteen,seventeen,nineteen 都
是由其个位数形式后加后缀-teen 构成。
(3) 从 21—99
整数几十中除 twenty,thirty,forty,fifty,eighty 为特 殊形式外,sixty,seventy,ninety 都是其个位数形式
后加后缀-ty 构成。表示几十几时,在几十和个位 基数词之间加连字符“-”。如:
→twenty-one →seventy-six
(4) 百位数
个数基数词形式加 hundred,表示几百,在几十几与 百位间加上 and。如:
→a hundred and one
→three hundred and twenty
→six hundred and forty-eight (5) 千位数以上 从数字的右端向左端数起,每三位数加一个逗号
“,”。从右开始,第一个“,”前的数字后添加 thousand, 第二个“,”前面的数字后添加 million,第三个“,”
前的数字后添加 billion。然后一节一节分别表示,
两个逗号之间最大的数为百位数形式。如:
, → two thousand six hundred and forty-eight
, , →sixteen million two hundred and fifty thousand sixty-four
, , , →five billion,two hundred and
thirty-seven million,one hundred and sixty-six thousand,
two hundred and thirty-four
(6) 基数词在表示确切的数字时,不能使用百、千、 百万、十亿的复数形式;但是,当基数词表示不确 切数字,如成百、成千上万,三三两两时,基数词则 以复数形式出现。如:
There are hundreds of people in the hall. 大厅里有数以百计的人。
Thousands and thousands of people come to visit the
Museum of Qin Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses every day.每天有成千上万的人来参观秦兵马俑博物馆。 They went to the theatre in twos and threes.
他们三三两两地来到了剧院。
(7) 表示人的不确切岁数或年代,用几十的复数形 式表示。 如:
He became a professor in his thirties.
他三十多岁时成为了教授。
She died of lung cancer in forties. 她四十来岁时死于肺癌。
It was in the s.那是在二十世纪六十年代。
2. 基数词的句法功能
基数词在句中可作主语、宾语、定语、表语、同位语。如: The two happily opened the box. 两个人高兴地打开了盒子。(作主语)
I need three altogether. 我总共需要三个。(作宾语)
Four students are playing volleyball outside. 四个学生在外面打排球。(作定语)
We are sixteen.我们是 16 个人。(作表语)
They three tried to finish the task before sunset. 他们三个人尽力想在日落前完成任务。(作同位语)

知识聚焦
表示顺序的词称为序数词。
1. 序数词的构成
(1) 从第一至第十九 其中,first,second,third,fifth,eighth,ninth,twelfth 为特殊形式,其它的序数词都是由其相对应的基 数词后面添加-th 构成。如:
six→sixth nineteen→nineteenth。 (2) 从第二十至第九十九 整数第几十的形式由其对应的基数词改结尾字母 y 为 i,再加-eth 构成。如:
twenty→twentieth thirty→thirtieth 表示第几十几时,用几十的基数词形式加上连字 符“-”和个位序数词形式一起表示。如:
thirty-first 第三十一 fifty-sixth 第五十六
seventy-third 第七十三 ninety-ninth 第九十九 (3) 一百以上的多位序数词 由基数词的形式变结尾部分为序数词形式来表示。如:
one hundred and twenty-first 第一百二十一
one thousand,three hundred and twentieth
第一千三百二十
2. 序数词的缩写形式
有时,序数词可以用缩写形式来表示。 如:
first→ st second→ nd third→ rd fourth→ th
sixth→ th twentieth→ th twenty-third→ rd
其中 st, nd, rd 为特殊形式,其它的都是在阿拉 伯数字后加-th。
3. 序数词的句法功能
序数词在句中可作主语、宾语、定语和表语。如: The second is what I really need. 第二个是我真正需要的。(作主语) He choose the second.他挑选了第二个。(作宾语) We are to carry out the first plan. 我们将执行第一个计划。(作定语)
She is the second in our class. 在我们班她是第二名。(作表语)
注意
序数词在使用时,通常前面要加定冠词 the;但是如果序数词前 出现不定冠词 a 或 an 时,则表示 再一;又一 。如:
We’ll go over it a second time.我们得再念第二遍。
We’ve tried it three times.Must we try it a fourth time
我们已经试过三遍了,还必须试一次(第四次)吗?
另外,基数词也可以表示顺序。只需将基数词放在它所修饰的 名词之后即可,不需添加定冠词。如:
the first lesson→Lesson One
the fifth page→Page (five)
the twenty-first room→Room 21(twenty-one)
其中 st,nd,rd 为特殊形式,其它的都是阿拉伯数字。
典例解析
