有时,序数词可以用缩写形式来表示。主要缩写形式有:

其中lst,2nd,3rd为特殊形式,其它的都是阿拉伯数字后加上th。
序数词前不加the的情况:
在英语中,使用序数词时前面要加定冠词 the,但是,在下面的情况下则不加 the:
1.当序数词前有形容词性物主代词或名词所有格修饰时,序数词前不用 the。
Mother was my first teacher in my life.妈妈是我生命中的第一个老师。
Tom is Lily's third boyfriend. 汤姆是莉莉的第三个男朋友。

基数词变序数词的口诀:
基变序,有规律,词尾加上-th。
一,二,三,特殊记,词尾字母t,d,d。
八去t,九除e,ve要用f替,ty将y变成i,th前面有个e。
若是碰到几十几,前用基来后用序。
整十基数变序数,先把ty变成tie,要是遇上两位数,十位基数,个位序,th最后加上去。
或者一,二,三变字体;th从4上起;8加h,9减e;用f 代ve;ty变为tie。
序数词的语法功能及用法:
序数词在句中可作主语、宾语、定语和表语。

She is the second in our class.在我们班她是第二名。(作表语)
注:序数词在使用时,通常前面要加定冠词 the;但是如果序数词前出现不定冠词a或an时,则表示“再—”,“又—”。
We'll go over it a second time. 我们得再念第二遍。
We've tried it three times.Must we try it a fourth time? 我们已经试过三遍了,还必须试一次(第四次)吗?
表示顺序的序数词
只需将基数词放在它所修饰的名词之后即可,不需要添加定冠词。
the first lesson——Lesson One the fifth page——Page 5(five)
the twenty-first room——Room 21(twenty-one)
英语分数的表示法:
一、用“基数词+序数词”表示
1.分数在英语中通常是借助于基数词和序数词来共同表达的。其中基数词表示分子,序数词表示分母。
如:
The centimeter is one-tenth of the decimeter or one-hundredth of the meter.厘米是分米的十分之一,或者说是米的百分之一。
However,the number of boys will bea third or less than the girls in the class.但是,班里男生的人数将比女生少三分之一或更少。
从以上例子可以看出:
①分子除用one外,也可用a;
②如果分子大于1,分母要用复数形式。但是,1/2不能说a(one)second,而要说a(one)half。例如:
The sum of one half,one third and one fourth of a certain number is 13.某数的1/2,1/3和1/4的和是13。
1/4 和3/4可以说a(one)fourth和three fourths,但常用a quarter和three quarters表示。
③应该注意的是,分数修饰名词时,若该名词是不可数名词只能用单数;
④若是可数名词,用单数或复数均可。但是,若它们在句子中作主语,则谓语动词是用单数还是复数取决于名词,即与分数所修饰的名词保持一致。例如:
Only one-fifth of air consists of oxygen.氧气只占空气的1/5。
About two thirds of the students attendthe meeting.大约2/3的学生都参加了会议。
2.带分数也是常见的英语数词表达。所谓带分数,实际上是“整数+分数”,表达时分而述之,只是整数部分与分数部分要用连词and连接。
当带分数修饰名词时,该名词通常是复数,但若名词置于整数one或a之后,则用单数。
“带分数+名词”作主语时,谓语动词根据临近原则要用复数。例如:
You should finish the work within one and a fourth hours.你应在1.25小时内完成工作。
The atom breaks up in a minute and a quarter.原子在1.25分钟内裂变。
二、用percent等表示
表示百分之一可以说one(a)hundredth,但更常用one percent或percent,即用百分数表示法来表达。例如:
Our bodies are 65percent water.我们人体含65%水分。
Seventy-five percent of the earth'ssur- face is covered by water.地球表面的75%被水覆盖着。
Eighty-five percent of the students in English department are girls.英语系85%的学生是女生。
三、用part表示
名词part有“……分之一”的意思,分子大于1时,part用复数。表示分数的结构一般有以下三种:
1.“基数词(或a)+序数词+part(s)” a hundred part百分之一
2.“基数词+part(s)+in+基数词” five parts in one thousand千分之五
3.“基数词+part(s)+per+基数词” one part per million百万分之一
四、用“基数词+介词+基数词”表示
借助介词表示分数,介词前的数词是分子,介词后的数词是分母。例如:
1.Ninety- nine people out of a hundred,if they were asked who first found America,would answer Clumbus.
如果要问是谁首先发现美洲,一百个人中有九十九个(百分之九十九)将回答是哥伦布。
这种结构中的介词主要有in,out of,of 以及to
2.The map is drawn to a scale of one of ten thousand.
这张地图是按万分之一的比例绘制的。
数字 | 表示法 |
6% | six percent |
0.58% | (naught) point five eight percent |
200% | two hundred percent |
