數字的英文唸法 (商用英語口語練習 102上)

Language notes:

l      In English, numbers in addresses are often read differently depending on how long the number is.

l      For example, the number 1256, which may be read as two numbers: twelve fifty-six.  

l      Three-digit addresses are also usually read in two parts: 365 = three sixty-five.

l      Longer numbers in addresses are read as individual numbers:

26715 = two six seven one five.

l      The number zero (0) in addresses and phone numbers is often read as oh.

l      In addresses, a hyphen (-) is usually read as dash.

l      When saying telephone numbers in English, the hyphen is not pronounced.

Instead, the speaker usually pauses between strings of numbers
