一、数字表达类(Numbers)
研究生入学考试听力试题中第一部分为填充表格,其中很大一部分是根据所听容填写诸如数字、时间和地点等具体信息。而数字、时间等信息正是中国考生最不容易听清楚的。下面我们将数字、时间等英语语言信息的日常表达方法介绍给大家:
1.英语中纯数字的表达方法
小数和分数:
0.17 zero point one seven / point seventeen / zero point seventeen
1/2 one half
1/3 one /a third
3/4 three fourths
7'2/ 5seven and two fifths
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 present in the party last night?
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 thousand and 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 thousand and forty three.
A:Thank you very much.
2.英语中时间的表达方法
英语中时间的表达方法主要有直接法和借用介词法等。
(1)直接法。
上午八点eight AM (a.m.)[ei em]
下午九点nine PM (p.m.)[pi:em]
六点六分six six
六点三十二six thirty two
八点正eight o'clock
(2)借用介词法。
八点四十五a quarter to nine
七点零五分five past seven
七点五十四six to eight
六点半half past six
(3)表示正点的用法。
十一点正at 11 o'clock sharp
at 11 o'clock on the hour
at 11 o'clock on the strike
正午12点at noon
午夜12点at midnight
(注:12点22分可读作:twelve twenty-two: twenty-two past twelve(英式说法);twenty-two after twelve(美式说法)
1点15可读作:one fifteen; a quarter past one(英式说法):a quarter after one (美英说法)
8点50分可读作:eight fifty; ten to nine(英式说法);ten before nine(美式说法)
1点40分可读作:one forty; twenty to two(英式说法);twenty before two(美式说法)
“提前半小时”可用:half an hour early; thirty minutes early; early by half an hour; half an hour ahead of time; half an hour ahead of schedule等来表示。)
时间表示法和时段的简单运算是听力考试的热点,请看下面的对话:
