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.
