英语中纯数字的表达方法

　　大于100的数字：

　　101 one hundred (and ) one

　　200 two hundred

　　998 nine hundred ( and ) ninetyeight

　　在英语中上面括弧中的and 一般不能省略;而在美国英语中却往往省去。请分析下面的对话：

　　A：How many people are killed in the terrorists' attacking at America?

　　B: That's nine hundred and ninetyeight, exactly.

　　A: Woo, you must be joking. How can you get such an accurate number?

　　B: Ha, ha... surely I am joking. You silly goose.

　　大于1000的数字：

　　1001 a/one thousand (and) one

　　2232 two thousand two hundred (and) thirty two

　　900,732,266,043

　　nine hundred billion seven hundred thirty two million two hundred sixty six forty three

　　英语中一千以上数字的表达方法是以三位数为单元，从高到低billion，million，thousand 而依次读出的。因此我们在听时，可以三位数三位数地记录。试比较下面的对话：

　　A：Can you tell me exactly the numbers of the whole people in our country?

　　B：One billion four hundred thirtytwo million two hundred sixty six forty three.

　　A：Thank you very much.
