25th December

Merry Christmas!


聖誕節快到了! 你認為以下哪些句子的寫法是錯誤的?
1. Christmas Day is on 25th December.
2. Christmas Day is on the 25th December.
3. Christmas Day is on the 25th of December.
4. Christmas Day is on twenty-fifth of December.
5. Christmas Day is on the twenty-fifth of December.

以上句子, 我們應讀成 "Christmas Day is on the twenty-fifth of December." (即第5句)。
至於寫法,則可被寫成第1句 (25th December) 或第5句 (the twenty-fifth of December),
也有些人寫成第3句 (the 25th of December), 不過這並不常見。

至於第2句 (the 25th December) 及第4句 (twenty-fifth of December) , 在讀和寫都是不正確的。
