在英语中，对于万以上的数字，我们改如何表达呢？这就要记住英语数字读法特点。以下面一个数字为例：

hundred
thousand
million
billion
注意每三个数为一个单位，按照百、
十、个向下读。
大数字的表达方法
英语分数的表示法：
用“基数词＋序数词”表示，其中基数词表示分子，序数词表示分母。分子除用one外，也可用a；如果分子大于1，分母要用复数形式。
Two thirds of the students have passed the exam. 三分之二的学生考试及格了。
注意：1／2不能说a（one）second，而要说a（one）half。
1／4和3／4可以说a（one）fourth和three fourths，但常用a quarter和three quarters表示。
若它们在句子中作主语，则谓语动词是用单数还是复数取决于名词，即与分数所修饰的名词保持一致。

World population and water
With more and more people in the world, more and more water is used. In fact, water use is growing more than twice as fast as the world’s population! As a result, getting good, clean water is becoming a problem in many places. A lot of water is polluted and in many areas people have to walk a long way
to get clean for daily use. More than 3.4 million people die each year from drinking and washing with polluted water. So let’s do everything we can to stop the pollution and save water.
