数字口译训练一、基变序的规律:一二三特殊记,TH要从FOUR加起,8加H,9减E,F来把VE替,TY变成TIE,若是遇到几十几,前基后序要牢记。
one - first two - second three - third four - fourth five - fifthsix - sixth eight - eighth nine - ninth twelve - twelfthtwenty - twentieth twenty-one --- twenty-first forty - fortieth二、基数词的读法我们先从基数词人手。
首先掌握三位以内数字的读法,因为它是多位数字的基础,一旦熟练掌握,再借助一个逗号,便可轻松应付四位以上任何庞大的数字。
我们可以通过例子来说明这一点。
☆2位数的读法先说“几十”,再说“几”,中间用连字符。
如:23 读作:twenty-three 89读作:eighty-nine☆3—5位数的读法先说“几百”,再加and,再说末两位数(或末位数)202读作:two hundred (and) two234读作:two hundred (and) thirty-four1,234读作:one thousand, two hundred (and) thirty-four但是在读法上须注意以下几点:a.在英式英语中,一个数的最后两位(十位和个位)得用“and”,但美式英语中则不用。
如:3,077读作[U.S]:three thousand seventy-seven.b.不定冠词“a”只在数的开头才和hundred,thousand等连用。
试比较:146读作:a hundred (and) forty-six2,146读作:two thousand, one hundred (and) forty-sixc.1,000这个整数我们说a thousand,在and前我们也说a thousand,但是在一个有百位数的数目前就得说one thousand试比较:1,031读作:a thousand, (and) thirty-one,1,150读作:one thousand, one hundred (and) fiftyd.hundred,thousand和million这几个词的单数可以和:“a”、“one”连用,但是不能单独使用。

I。
有关数字的各种表达及注意事项1. 整数的译法和读法迅速无误识别数字的前提是必须能够流利地读出数字。
要从读两位数起,然后练习读三位和四位数乃至五位或六位以上的数字。
其中两位和三位数的读法是读所有数字的基础。
英文数字中的每一个逗点的读法也要牢记:有一个逗点读“thousand”,两个逗点读“million”,三个逗点读“billion"。
还要清楚,每个逗点间由三位数组成。
英文数字中的第四位数、第七位数、第十位数是很关键的数位。
1,234 读作:one thousand,two hundred and thirty-four4,567,809 读作:four million,five hundred and sixty-seventhousand,eight hundred and nine 5,678,120,000 读作:five billion,six hundred and seventy-eight million,one hundred and twe nty thousand百位数和百位数以上的数的读法英国人和美国人不同,英国人在百位数和十位数之间用and,美国人常常不用。
126 读作one hundred(and)twenty—six3,862 读作three thousand, eight hundred(and)sixty-two489,932 读作four thousand(and)eight-nine thousand,nine hundred(and)thiety—two以one开始的较大数字,通俗的用法或表示大概数字时,可用不定冠词a代替one,如:He’s written a thousand poems。
数字口译-篇章练习Task 1(口译任务1)Import and export of Germany任务要求:下面你将听到一段关于德国的进出口情况的介绍,请在停顿时进行口译。
注意:本段讲话中有很多数字(包括基数、序数、百分比等)和国名。
这两种信息一般不能仅靠短期记忆,必须得使用笔记(下一课要系统学习)。
在笔记时,必须把数字和数字对应的信息记录下来,列举国名的时候要纵向排列,这样才能体现列举的关系。

Unit four Figures in Interpreting教学目的:1. 了解中英数位表达及分段方式的差异,通过单纯数字、带单位的数字及带数字的句子口译练习,初步掌握中英数字互译的方法和技巧;2. 熟悉有关国际商务和世界贸易的相关词汇、表达,以及有关背景知识;3. 通过模仿或模拟口译实践提高英语表达和运用能力。
教学重点:1. 中英数位表达差异;2. 数字中英互译的三阶段练习;3. 国际贸易与经济全球化的常用词汇和表达;4. 与世界贸易相关的背景知识及用语表达。
I. 有关数字的各种表达及注意事项1. 整数的译法和读法迅速无误识别数字的前提是必须能够流利地读出数字。
要从读两位数起,然后练习读三位和四位数乃至五位或六位以上的数字。
其中两位和三位数的读法是读所有数字的基础。
英文数字中的每一个逗点的读法也要牢记:有一个逗点读“thousand”,两个逗点读“million”,三个逗点读“billion”。
还要清楚,每个逗点间由三位数组成。
英文数字中的第四位数、第七位数、第十位数是很关键的数位。
1,234 读作:one thousand,two hundred and thirty-four4,567,809 读作:four million,five hundred and sixty-seventhousand,eight hundred and nine5,678,120,000 读作:five billion,six hundred and seventy-eight million,one hundred and twe nty thousand百位数和百位数以上的数的读法英国人和美国人不同,英国人在百位数和十位数之间用and,美国人常常不用。
126 读作one hundred(and)twenty-six3,862 读作three thousand, eight hundred(and)sixty-two489,932读作four thousand(and)eight-nine thousand,nine hundred(and)thiety-two以one开始的较大数字,通俗的用法或表示大概数字时,可用不定冠词a代替one,如:He's written a thousand poems.“千”有时可转换成“百”来表示,尤其在通俗用法中,如:The fee is about eleven hundred yuan.(费用约一千一百元。
)也即,部分有一个逗点的数字(四位数),英国人用“thousand”表示,而美国人则多用“hundred”。
再如,有三个逗点的数字(十位数),美式读法为“billion”,而英式读法为“thousand million”。
因此,熟悉英美两种不同的读法对消除数字理解上的岐义是十分必要的。
请看下面的对照表:例词1,900 英式one thousand,nine hundred 美式nineteen hundred 4,000,000,000 英式four thousand million 美式four billion 2. 小数的译法和读法和汉语一样,英语小数点前的数字按“十”、“百”、“千”整数读,小数点后的数字一个个分开单读,如:读作[zero<美>/nought<英>]point one two读作three point two o/zero eight小数的读法:小数点读作“point”,小数后各位数要分别读,小数点前的数若为“0”可略去不读。
读作:two point four six eight读作:(zero)point one five seven读作:thirteen decimal(point)nine one;读作:nought demical two three;读作 one point two five.读作 three point seven two eight读作(naught)(美国用zero) point five six读作(naught) point naught naugnt nine( 美国用 zero 代替 naught)3. 分数的译法和读法和汉语不同,英语口语表达分数比较复杂:分子用基数词表示,分母用序数词表示。
口译时,分数线可以省略。
分子为1时,分子译为one/a,分母用序数词。
1/3 one/a third1/5one/a fifth但以2和4为分母的分数有特殊表达法,如:1/2a/one half1/4 a/one quarter3/4 three quarters分子大于1时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词的复述形式:2/3 two thirds6/7six sevenths复杂或数字较大的分数的译法和读法:分子和分母均用基数词表示,中间用over连接,如:2/855two over eight hundred and fifty-five分母为百位数的也有把数字一个个分开读的,如:9/267 nine over two six seven练习:1/3 读作:one-third7/12 读作:seven-twelfths1/2 读作:a(one)half3/4 读作:three quarters2 1/2 读作:two and a half20/87 读作:twenty over eighty-seven33/90 读作:thirty-three over ninety4. 百分数的译法和读法口译时,英语的百分数用“基数词+%”(读作per cent/percent)表达,如: % point five percent(或zero/nought point five percent)% point o five percent% point o one five percent100% one hundred percent150% one hundred and fifty percent% thirty-four point three five percent5. 电话号码、银行账号等的读法:(1)电话号码读电话号码时,每个数字一一读出,“o”英式读[ou];美式则读zero,这也是最常用于科技方面或最准确的形式,o极少用于科技方面(有时也读nought) ;英国人在读两个相同数字时,通常读成double尤其是当这两个数处在同一组时,较长的号码可以两个或三个数字为一组按节奏读出,如:读作one three nine年代的读法:英语年代的读法和汉语不同,不是一个个数字分开读,而是以“百”为一个单位读,如:.读作:three hundred(and)twenty-nine .1800读作:eighteen hundred1492读作:fourteen ninety-two1503读作:fifteen o three1949读作:nineteen forty-nine 在正式场合使用nineteen hundred and forty-nine的读法2000读作:two thousand2002读作:two thousand and two或twenty o two1800 读作:eighteen hundred1701 读作:seventeen oh one 或 seveteen hundred and one年代指十年(decade),采用“基数词加上十位数复数”的形式来表示,前面与介词“in”和定冠词“the”搭配。
in the 1840's 读作:in the eighteen fourties (十九世纪四十年代)in the 1950's 读作:in the nineteen fifties(二十世纪五十年代)in the '60's 读作:in the sixties(本世纪六十年代)如要表示一个年代的初期、中期、末期,可在年代前分别加“early,mid,late”。
如:in the early 1770's;in the late 1590's。
世纪指一百年(century),用“the+序数词+century”表示。
in the 2nd century 在二世纪in the mid 13th century 在十三世纪中叶7. 时间的表达法表达时间的方法有三种,其中最为普遍的一种是先说分,再加介词“past”或“to”,然后说小时。
若分数为15分、30分、45分,则用“quarter”、“half”代替具体的分数。
习惯上,分数在30分以内,用“past”,如过了30分,用“to”。
美国英语中,常用“after ”代替“past”,用“before”(或till)代替“ to”。
Examples:8:00 读作:eight o'clock或eight9:15 读作:a quarter past nine(英式)或 a quarter after nine(美式)11:30 读作:half past eleven(英式)或 eleven thirty(美式)7:50 读作:ten to eight(英式)或 ten before eight(美式)表达时间的另一种方法是不用介词,先说小时数,再说分数。
这种表达法多用于与汽车、火车、轮船、飞机等相关的情境中,如发车时间、到站时间等。
Examples:4:30 . 读作:four-thirty .5:45 . 读作:five-fourty-five .最后一种方法是日常生活中最不常用的24小时制。
如:用14:15 (fourteen-fifteen)代替2:15 ,用23:05(twenty-three-oh-five)代替11:05 .。
这种用法主要出现在官方的时刻表上和电台的正式报时中。
当用于军事命令和旅行时间表时,其读法如下:07:00 (Oh)seven hundred hours=7:00a.m.09:15 (Oh) nine fifteen=9:15a.m.12:00 twelve hundred hours=midday/noon13:45 thirteen forty-five-1:45p.m.19:00 nineteen hundred hours:7:OOp.m.23:05 twenty-three(Oh)five--11:05p.m.24:00 twenty-four hundred hours=midnight24:10 twenty-fourten’ten past midnight8. 算术式的读法:2+3=5 Two plus three is (equals, is equal to)five.5-3=2 Five minus three is equal to two.3×2=6 Three times two is Three by two is six.9÷3=3 Nine divided by three makes three.9. 听懂美国和英国的货币说法:美国货币美国货币由美元dollar和美分cent组成,one dollar等于100 cents。
