授之以鱼不如授之以渔 给你分数的英语表示方法
在英语中,分数的分子用基数词表示,分母用序数词表示。分子与分母之间的连字符号"-"可有可无。当分子超过1时,作为分母的序数词要用复数形式。当分子为1时,也可用a代替分子的one。例如:
two fifths 2/5 three sevenths 3/7
one(一) third (= a third) 1/3
one quarter (= a quarter = one fourth = a fourth) 1/4
three quarters (= three fourths) 3/4
若要表示比较复杂的分数用over来表示,此时分子分母都要用基数词。例如:
seven over forty-six 7/46
three over fifty-eight 3/58
当分数前有整数时,应先说整数,然后用连词and将整数和分数连接起来。例如:
one and four fifths 1 4/5
two and three fourths 2 3/4
three forths
three eighths
five sevenths
eight over eleven
A and four 9
three fourths
three eighths
five sevenths
eight over eleven
one and four ninths
