   在平时办公过程当中,经常会遇到数字。哪些场合用单词表示,哪些场合用阿拉伯数字表示,往往使人难以确定。现行语法书中也极少涉及此类问题。实际上,以英语为母语的国家,在书写数字时已形成几条约定俗成的规则,总结如下,以供大家参考。


  一、英美等国的出版社在排版时遵循一条原则,即1至10用单词表示,10以上的数目用阿拉伯数字(也有的以100为界限)表示。
  Eg. That table measures ten feet by five.
  那个工作台长10英尺,宽5英尺。
  Eg. Traditionally classes at college level bring the professor and a group of 20 to 30 students together for a 45-to-50-minute class two or three times a week.
  一个教授和二十名到三十名学生每周上课两三次,每次授课时间45到50分钟。这是大学课堂教学的传统方式。
  二、人数用阿拉伯数字表示显得更简洁明了,但不定数量、近似值用单词表示较恰当。
  Eg. There are 203817 voters on the electoral rolls.
  选举名单上有203817个投票人。
  Eg. Nearly thirty thousand voters took part in this election.
  近3万个投票人参加了这次选举。
  Eg. I hesitated for a moment or two.
  我犹豫了片刻。
  Eg. I have warned you a hundred times.
  我已经警告你多少遍了。
  三、遇到日期、百分比、带单位的特殊数字,通常用阿拉伯数字。
  Eg. The maximum swivel of the table is l20.
  工作台的最大回转角度是120度。
  Eg. 3rd March l991或3 March l991; a discount of 5 per cent
  Eg. I purchased 7 yards of carpet
  我买了7码地毯。
  Eg. I ordered 2 pounds of minced 1 steak
  我订购了2磅剁碎的肉。
  五、在科技文章中,数字频繁出现,用阿拉伯数字比用单词陈述更有利。
  Eg. The new engine has a 4.3L capacity and a power output of 153 kilowatts 2 at 4400 revolutions per minute.
  这台新发动机的排量为4.3升,转速为每分钟4400转,输出功率是153千瓦。
  六、句首不用阿拉伯数字,句末也要尽量避免用阿拉伯数字。
  Eg. 4th July is an important date in American history.
  应该写成The fourth of July...
  Eg. A 60%profit was reported.
  应改写成:Sixty per cent profit…
  七、遇到分数,可用带连字符号的单词表示。
  Eg. At least two-thirds of the class have bad colds.
  这个班至少有三分之二的学生患重感冒。
  Eg. Nitrogen forms about four-fifths of the atmosphere.
  氮约占大气的五分之四。

v.切碎( mince的过去式和过去分词 );剁碎;绞碎;用绞肉机绞(食物,尤指肉)
  • He minced over to serve us. 他迈着碎步过来招待我们。
  • A young fop minced up to George and introduced himself. 一个花花公子扭扭捏捏地走到乔治面前并作了自我介绍。 来自《简明英汉词典》
千瓦( kilowatt的名词复数 )
  • It's about 500 kilowatts per hour on average. 年用电量平均为每小时500千瓦。 来自商贸英语会话
  • We have an emergency-standby electric generator with a capacity of 300 kilowatts. 我们有一台三百千瓦的事故备用发电机。
