1、年份
(1)一般情况下,将表示年份的四个数字按前后分为两组,每一组的数字都按基数词来读。
例如: 1865年读作eighteen sixty-five
1998年读作nineteen ninety-eight
(2)如果前两个数字为非“零”数字,后两位数分别为“零”,则先读出前两位数,然后将后
面的两个“零”读为hundred.
例如:1900年读作nineteen hundred
1800年读作eighteen hundred
(3)第三个数字为“零”(其他数字不是“零”)的年份的读法应当将该“零”读为0 /u/。
例如: 1809年读作eighteen O nine

2000年读作two thousand
2008年读作two thousand and eight或twenty O eighit

October 31( October 31st 读作October (the ) thirty-first
August 26 ( August 26th) 读作August (the) twenty-sixth
3、时间
时间的读法有以下一些特点:
(1)可以直接按照表示时间的数字来读。

例如: 9: 25读作twenty-five past nine
