Dear classmates,
親愛的同學
Do you still remember how to say telephone number '0' in English? We can say either 'oh' or 'zero'.
您還記得如何用英文報電話號碼中的數字「零」嗎?
For example,
例如:
A: What's your telephone/phone number?
B: My phone number is 2510-9845.
My phone number is two-five-one-oh-nine-eight-four-five.
My phone number is two-five-one-zero-nine-eight-four-five.
When there are numbers/alphabets repeated, you can use word - double/triple - to make your conversation more efficient.
如果數字/字母有重複的地方,您可以用double (兩倍的)/triple (三倍的)讓對話更加精簡有效率。
Here I find a useful website about differnet ways to say 'zero' in English (please see details from the access: http://www.iesnestoralmendros.es/libro1/index.php?section=6&page=3).
網路上看到一篇有關於講述數字0的英文用法及情境。
I also find an interesting film on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pYOZduNhtY). You can see the cultural differences when people say numbers or spell alphabets. But most importantly, do we konw how to pronounce 'Louis Vuitton' properly? See for yourselves.
在Youtube也找到一段有趣的影片。從中您可以了解不同文化的人用英語敘述數字以及拼字母。但是最重要的是,有多少人真的可以把LV的全名唸清楚呢? 您自個瞧吧!
