Errors in the Use of Numerals

数词的误用

  1.基数使用不当

  Improper use of cardinal numbers

  

  (2)一百以上的称数法

  Enumeration of numbers above one hundred

 

  Example:

  Wrong:这是五万零零零八块钱。(50,008)

  Right:这是五万零八块钱。

  In a big number with more than one “0”juxtaposed, only one is pronounced.The sentence should be read as“五百零八块钱”。

 

  Example:

  Wrong:那个大学有十三千人。

  Right:那个大学有一万三千人。

  “十三千”is the literal interpretation of “thirteen thousand”.InChinese, the decimal system is used, and “个、十、百、千、万”are the five basic integrals.

 

  Example:

  Wrong:她们俩个今天晚上也动身。

  Right:她们俩今天晚上也动身。

  或者其他量词。

  “俩”refers to “两个”.As the combination of the numeral “俩”and the measure word “个”,it can not be followed by any measure word including “个”。
