句型Plus
1.I want to reserve a seat to New York on June 21st.
订票时,清楚准确地说明自己的要求和信息非常重要。例如,想订一张头等舱机票,直飞纽约,最简单明了的说法就是:One first class ticket. Non-stop to New York. 售票员会立即明白你的需求。接下来再确认日期和个人信息便会非常顺畅了。
2.He’ll pay two thirds of the full coach fare.
two thirds意为“三分之二”。分数由基数词和序数词构成:分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子超过“1”时,分母用复数。如a(one) sixth(1/6),two thirds(2/3),three fifths(3/5)。
另外分数的表达有一些特殊之处需要注意以下几点。
(1)1/2通常读作a(one) half。
(2)1/4可读作a(one) fourth,也可读作 a(one) quarter。
(3)带分数的读法:在整数与分数之间用and连接。如five and two thirds(五又三分之二)。
