10, 000 and 100, 000

中國人常不懂得用英語讀 10,000 (一萬), 因為中國有萬位,但"萬"卻沒有相對的英語。

其實要破解這讀法很簡單, 只要記著 "千 (thousand) = 000" 便可!

one 1,000 thousand
ten 10,000 thousand
one hundred 100,000 thousand

因此:
(一千) 1,000 = one thousand
(一萬) 10,000 = ten thousand
(十萬) 100,000 = one hundred thousand

不過, 1,000,000 並非 "one thousand thousand", 而是 "one million" ,
因為 "百萬 (million) = 000 000"!
