Unit1 Money
Figures
American oil billionaire J. Paul Getty has a very famous saying, that is ― If you can actually count your money,
then you are not really a rich man.‖美国的银行业大亨 J. Paul Getty 曾经说过一句话:如果你的钱是可以数得
清楚的,那么你就不是一个真正的富人。Well, the sentence is interesting, but actually we must know how to
count the money before we get rich, especially in English. So, in today‘s class, we would first learn to say English
numbers.
Most people working in finance, whether it is in accountancy, banking, broking, investment, insurance, or
whatever, spend a lot of time dealing with numbers.
I. Let‘s talk about the different ways to say 0 in English. Usually, we have the following 5 ways to say 0 in English.
They are: OH, ZERO, LOVE, NOUGHT, NIL!
We say oh
after a decimal point six point oh three
in telephone numbers 84 08 32 13 eight four oh eight three two one three
in bus numbers No. 708 get the seven oh eight
in hotel room numbers Room 308 I'm in room three oh eight.
in years 1905 een oh five
We say nought
before the decimal point nought point two oh one
We say zero
for the number 0 the number zero
for temperature -5~C five degrees below zero
We say nil
in football scores 5-0 Spain won five nil.
We say love
in tennis 15- 0 The score is fifteen love.
Now say the following:
1. The exact figure is .
a) before the decimal point, read nought;
b) after a decimal point, read oh.
Nought point oh oh two.
2. Can you get back to me on 010 – 5175 – 0123 ? I'll be here all morning.
in telephone numbers, say oh.
Oh one oh five one seven five oh one two three
3. Can you put that on my bill? I'm in room 804.
in hotel room numbers, say oh. Eight oh four
4. The temperature in north-east China is very low in winter. Usually, it's 20 degrees below 0!
