专题3:数词
1、数词的定义:表示数目多少或顺序先后的词为数词。
2、数词的分类:数词可分为基数词和序数词,基数词表示数量的多少,序数词 表示顺序的先后。
3、数词的用法
基数词的用法
I. 基数词的构成。
基数词1-12是独立的单词。
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve
基数词13-19是在个位数后面加-teen构成,其中thirteen, fifteen, eighteen是不规则变化。
thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen
整十的基数词20-90是在个位数词后面加-ty构成,其中twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, eighty是不规则变化。
twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety
非整十基数词21-99是在十位数后面加上个位数构成,中间加上连字符“-”。
twenty-one, seventy-six, eighty-eight
三位数以上的基数词,百位数和十位数之间用and连接。
two hundred and one, three thousand five hundred and fourteen
英语中没有“万”和“亿”这两个单位,在表示“万”和“亿”时,把“万”念成10个千,“十万”念成100个千,“亿”念成100个百万……以此类推。
10,000:ten thousand
100,000: a hundred thousand
100,000,000: a hundred million
35, 845: thirty-five thousand, eight hundred and forty-five
II. hundred, thousand, million 和billion的用法。
hundred, thousand, million和billion等表示确切数字时,只用其单数形式;但是在表示不确切数字时,要用其复数形式,并且与of连用,表示约数。
e.g:1. There are more than three hundred days in a year. 一年有三百多天。
2. Thousands of visitors travel to the Great Wall every year. 每年有成千上万的游客游玩长城。
III. 基数词表示编号。
例如:
Lesson Five (the fifth lesson) 第五课
Room 306 306房间
Page Twelve (the twelfth page) 第十二页
Class One, Grade Six 六年级一班
② 序数词的用法。
I. 序数词的构成。
序数词1-3是独立的单词。
first, second, third
基数词4-19是在基数词后面加-th构成,其中fifth, eighth, ninth, twelfth, thirteenth, fifteenth是不规则变化。
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth
整十的基数词20-90变序数词时,变y为i再加“eth”。
twentieth, thirtieth, fortieth, fiftieth, sixtieth, seventieth, eighties, ninetieth
21以上非整十基数词变序数词时,只需将其个位数变成序数词,其它位数仍用基数词。
twenty-first, seventy-sixth, two hundred and eighty-eighth
II. 使用序数词时,前面经常加上定冠词the。
e.g: 1. He is always the first person to reach school. 他总是第一个到达学校。
2. This is the third time for me to go to Beijing. 这是我第三次去北京。
4、各种数的表达
I. 日期的表达。
英语中的日期表达采用“月、日、年”或“日、月、年”的顺序。年份用基数词表达,日期用序数词表达。
例如:
10月1日:October 1st / the first of October
2006年7月5日:July 5th, 2006 / the fifth of July, 2006
II. 时间的表达。
直接表达法
用基数词 + o’clock来表示整点,注意o’clock须用单数,可以省略。
例如:
eight o’clock 八点钟,ten (o’clock) 十点钟
用基数词按“钟点 + 分钟”的顺序直接写出时间。
例如:
eleven five 十一点零五分,six forty六点四十
间接表达法
如果分钟数少于30分钟,可用分钟 + past + 钟点表示,其中past是介词,意思是“过”。
例如:
twenty past four 四点二十 eight past one 一点零八分
如果分钟数多于30分钟,可用(60分钟-原分钟数)+ to +(原钟点数+ 1)表示,其中to是介词,意思是“差”。
例如:
8:35 可表示为twenty-five to nine 差二十五分钟九点,即八点三十五(其中的分钟数twenty-five 是由60分钟减去35分钟得到的;钟点数nine是由8加上1得到的)。
注意:
① 当分钟数是15分钟时,可用名词quarter (一刻钟)表示。例如:
7:15可表示为 a quarter past seven, 12:15可表示为 a quarter past twelve
② 当分钟数是30分钟时,可用名词half (一半)表示。
例如:
9:30 可表示为 half past nine,3:30可表示为 half past three。
III. 四则混合运算:加、减、乘、除的表达。
1+1=2 One plus one is two. 一加一等于二。
10-3=7 Ten minus three is seven. 十减三等于七。
9×8=72 Nine times/multiplied by two is eighteenth. 九乘二等于十八。
16÷2=8 Sixteen divided by two is eight. 十六除以二等于八。
IV. 分数的表达。
分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子大于1时,分母加s表示复数。
例如:
1/3 one third 3/8 three eighths
V. 年龄的表达。
表示“几岁”,用“基数词+years old”,“years old”也可以省略。
e.g: The boy is twelve (years old). 这个男孩十二岁了。
表示“在……年龄时”,用“at the age of +基数词”表示。
e.g: He learned to play the piano at the age of six. 他六岁的时候开始学弹钢琴。
表示“在……几十岁时”,用“in one’s +整十的复数”表示。
e.g: The man became a millionaire in his fifties. 这个男的在他五十多岁的时候成为了百万富翁。
VI. 次数的表达。
一次:once
二次:twice
三次及以上:基数词+times
three times 三次 ten times 十次 twenty-eight times 二十八次
VII. 倍数的表达。
A is +倍数+as +形容词原级+as B “A 是B的多少倍”。
e.g: This room is twice as big as that one. 这个教室是那个教室的两倍大。
A is +倍数 +形容词比较级+than B “A 比B大(多、高……)多少倍”。
e.g: This car is three times more expensive than that truck. 这辆汽车比那辆卡车贵三倍。
VIII. 数量词的用法。
表示长、宽、高,用“基数词+单位词(meter, kilometer, foot, inch等)+形容词(long, wide, high等)” 表示。
two meters long 两米长
three inches high 三英尺高
four inches wide 四英寸宽
表示时间、距离时,用含有数词的名词所有格形式作定语。
five minutes’ walk 步行五分钟
two hours’ ride 骑车两小时
由数词和其它名词组成的复合数词,其中的名词用单数形式,各部分之间用连字符“-”来连接。
a three-month-old baby 一个三个月大的婴儿
a five-day holiday 五天的假期
④ 复合数词相当于一个形容词,用来修饰名词,不能作表语。
The building is ten meters high.(√)
This is a ten-meter-high building.(√)
The building is ten-meter-high.(×)
This is a ten meters high building.(×)
