大家好,歡迎來到 English with lucy
00:15
today I am going to correct an error that many of you
1
15220
3020
今天我們要糾正那些你可能說錯的英文
00:18
have been making.
2
18240
2000
00:20
I'm gonna tell you how to say and write dates properly.
3
20240
4380
我要告訴你如何正確的寫或說英文的日期
00:24
Now, the main thing that confuses people, is the difference
4
24620
3080
最主要會混淆的是
00:27
between American Dates and British Dates.
5
27700
2940
英式和美式的日期表示方式不同
00:30
Americans would say the month first,
6
30640
3340
美國會先說月份
00:34
then the day,
7
34560
880
再來日期
00:35
then the year.
8
35640
960
最后是年
00:36
British people however, would say the day first,
9
36700
4060
英國人則會先說日期
00:41
then the month,
10
41320
820
再來月份
00:42
then the year.
11
42560
780
最后是年
00:43
So that's the main difference,
12
43740
2000
这是最主要的不同
00:45
I would say my date of birth at the 10th of June 1994
13
45740
4280
我會說我的生日是 10th of June 1994(10日6月1994年)
00:50
Americans would say June 10th 1994
14
50320
4200
而美國人說 June 10th 1994(6月10日1994年)
00:54
Now another error that people make is that they get confused between cardinal and ordinal numbers.
15
54520
6680
還有一個錯誤是,很多人會搞混基數和序數
01:01
Here are the cardinal numbers:
16
61200
2460
這些是基數
01:03
one,
17
63720
500
01:04
two,
18
64220
500
01:04
three,
19
64740
500
01:05
four,
20
65240
500
01:05
five.
21
65740
500
01:06
Then, we have the ordinal numbers:
22
66600
3020
然後這些是序數
01:10
first,
23
70100
500
01:10
second,
24
70840
560
第一
第二
01:11
third,
25
71780
500
第三
01:12
fourth,
26
72360
560
第四
01:13
fifth.
27
73320
500
第五
01:14
See the difference?
28
74240
980
看出不同了嗎?
01:15
Cardinal
29
75560
640
基數
01:16
Ordinal
30
76540
560
序數
01:17
Now, the abbreviation of ordinal numbers are as follows: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th.
31
77360
11120
然後序數的縮寫是 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th
01:28
And so on.
32
88560
820
以此類推
01:29
And we will always use this format when writing out dates in full.
33
89380
4820
當應寫出完整的日期時,我們會用這種寫法
01:34
It's very rare to see an unabbreviated ordinal number in a written date.
34
94200
5640
不用縮寫來寫日期(序數)是很少見的
01:39
This is just waste of space.
35
99840
1500
那樣只會浪費空間
01:41
Like many things on this planet.
36
101480
1580
就像地球上的很多事物一樣
01:43
Another error is that students often forget
37
103200
2280
另一個錯誤是很多學生會忘記
01:45
that we write months with a capital letter.
38
105480
3380
寫月份時,第一個字母要大寫
01:48
Make sure you fully understand the pronunciation of the months of the year.
39
108860
4200
確定你可以完整了解年份和月的發音
01:53

02:16

02:18
So,
45
138960
500
以上
02:19
that's is how you write the date.
46
139700
1340
就是如何用英文寫日期
02:21
In English the 10th of June 1994
47
141040
4080
英國人 : the 10th of June 1994
02:25
and in American June 10th 1994.
48
145680
3660
美國人 : June 10th 1994
02:29
Now, did you hear me when I read out the British version?
49
149480
2820
你有聽到我英式版本怎麼說?
02:33
It's written 10th June 1994
50
153080
4740
是寫10th June 1994
02:38
but I said (the) 10th (of) June 1994.
51
158120
5140
但是我說 (the) 10th (of) June 1994.
02:43
So, you don't need to write 'the' and 'of' but you need to say it.
52
163880
4980
你不需要寫the和of,但是要說出來
02:49
If you say 'My birthday is 10th June 1994'
53
169120
4520
如果你說我的生日是 10th June 1994
02:53
it sounds a little bit weird, it sounds a bit forced and unnatural.
54
173980
3220
聽起來有點奇怪,不太自然
02:57
So you want to say 'My birthday is the 10th of June 1994'
55
177200
4140
所以你要說我的生日是the 10th of June 1994
03:01
In American English this is not essential.
56
181740
2440
在美國則不必要加the 和 of
03:04
My birthday is June 10th 1994.
57
184320
2520
My birthday is June 10th 1994.
03:06
Now, something else tend to be really confused, is how to say years.
58
186980
6180
很多人回疑惑如何說年份的英文
03:13
With years before the millennium (1994)
59
193160
3280
在2000年以前(1994)
03:16
we know that we split it up into 2 sections:
60
196820
3180
我們知道要分成兩個部分講
03:20
18|25 ,
61
200260
1880
18|25
03:22
10|66.
62
202720
1500
10|66
03:24
10|66 for example
63
204900
2900
10|66 的例子
03:27
Let me get past the year 2000 it starts to get a little bit more complicated.
64
207800
4980
2000年以後則有點複雜
03:32
Now, there are two acceptable ways of saying the dates:
65
212780
3160
有兩種說法都是可以接受的
03:35
You can say twenty and then the number
66
215940
3020
你可以說20??
03:39
although, with the years before two thousand and ten you want to say
67
219100
2840
雖然在2010年以前你必須說
03:41
o9
68
221940
2000
o9
03:43
We'll say twenty o eight, twenty o nine, twenty ten.
69
223940
5080
說20歐8,20歐9, 2010
03:49
Otherwise, if you say twenty nine, it sounds like
70
229480
3300
不然如果你說twenty nine聽起來很像是
03:53
the number 29.
71
233040
1740
數字29
03:54
So,
72
234820
500
所以
03:55
you need to say twenty o nine.
73
235340
2000
你必須說twenty o nine.
03:57
I have a prefer to say the full number. I like to say:
74
237780
3620
我比較喜歡說出全名,像
04:01
two thousand and seventeen.
75
241700
2120
2017
04:04
The important thing that you must remember is the 'and'.
76
244080
2620
有一件事情很重要就是你必須記得加and
04:06
It is absolutely essential that you include the 'and' when you say a date starting with the year 2000.
77
246880
6660
當你要說2000年以後是一定要加and的
04:14
two thousand and one (2001),
78
254160
1340
two thousand and one (2001),
04:16
two thousand and ten (2010),
79
256400
1300
two thousand and ten (2010),
04:18
two thousand and seventeen (2017).
80
258480
1540
two thousand and seventeen (2017).
04:20
Now, did you hear I say n, n,
81
260820
2480
你有聽到我說嗯,恩
04:23
I just add an extra syllable and go in, in
82
263540
3560
我只是加了一個音節"恩"
04:27
two thousand and one,
83
267560
1440
two thousand and one,
04:29
two thousand and seventeen
84
269120
1840
two thousand and seventeen
04:30
so I'm using the schwa sound
85
270960
1560
我用聯結音 (schwa sound 不確定中文怎麼翻)
04:35
two thousand and seventeen,
86
275040
1940
two thousand and seventeen,
04:37
two thousand and twelve.
87
277000
1680
two thousand and twelve.
04:39
