  • Hello everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

    大家好,歡迎回到 English With Lucy。

  • Today, I am going to correct an error that many of you have been making.

    我今天將會糾正你們很多人一直在犯的一個錯誤。

  • I'm gonna tell you how to say and write dates properly.

    我將會教大家怎麼正確地說和寫日期。

  • Now, the main thing that confuses people is the difference between American dates and British dates.

    讓大部分人困惑的主要原因在於美國日期與英國日期間的差異。

  • Americans will say the month first, then the day, then the year.

    美國人會先說月份、然後日期,最後是年份。

  • British people, however, will say the day first, then the month, then the year.

    但英國人會先說日期、然後是月份,最後是年份。

  • So, that's the main difference.

    這就是主要的差別。

  • I would say my date of birth is the 10th of June 1994.

    我會說我的生日是 10th of June 1994 (1994 年 6 月 10 日)。

  • Americans would say June 10th 1994.

    美國人則會說 June 10th 1994 。

  • Now, another error that people make is, they get confused between cardinal and ordinal numbers.

    另外一個常見的錯誤是,大家會搞混的基數和序數。

  • Here are the cardinal numbers: one, two, three, four, five.

    這裡是基數:一、二、三、四、五。

  • Then, we have the ordinal numbers: first, second, third, fourth, fifth.

    之後是序數:第一、第二、第三、第四、第五。

  • See the difference?

    看出差別了嗎?

  • Cardinal, ordinal.

    基數、序數。

  • Now, the abbreviation of ordinal numbers are as follows: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and so on.

    接下來是序數的縮寫:第一(1st)、第二(2nd)、第三(3rd)、第四(4th)、第五(5th),依此類推。

  • And we will always use this format when writing out dates in full.

    當我們在寫完整日期的時候,一定會用這種寫法。

  • It's very rare to see an unabbreviated ordinal number in a written date.

    我們很少會將未經縮寫的序數直接寫在日期上。

  • It's just a waste of space, like many things on this planet.

    不過是浪費空間罷了,就像這世界上許多事情一樣。

  • Another error is that students often forget that we write months with a capital letter.

    另一個錯誤是同學們經常忘記要用大寫來寫月份。

  • Make sure you fully understand the pronunciation of the months of the year.

    確定你記得所有月份的發音。

  • If you have any doubts about how to learn pronunciation, you can see this video in the card above.

    如果你對於如何學習發音有任何問題,可以觀看上方資訊卡的影片。

  • January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

    一月、二月、三月、四月、五月、六月、七月、八月、九月、十月、十一月、十二月。

  • Which month is your favorite?

    哪一個月份是你的最愛?

  • Comment below and tell me why.

    在下面的留言區告訴我,並說說理由。

  • So, that is how you write the date.

    那麼,那就是寫日期的方式。

  • In English, the 10th of June 1994, and in American, June 10th 1994.

    英式英語用 10th of June 1994、美式英語則是 June 10th 1994。

  • Now, did you hear me when I read out the British version?

    你有沒有聽到我怎麼讀英國版本的?

  • It's written "10th June 1994", but I said the 10th of June 1994.

    雖然寫作 10th June 1994,但是我讀出來是 the 10th of June 1994。

  • So, you don't need to write "the" and "of", but you do need to say it.

    所以寫作時,你並不需要寫下 the 和 of,但是你需要讀出它們。

  • If you say, "Um, my birthday is 10th June 1994," it sounds a bit weird; it sounds a bit forced and unnatural.

    如果你說:「我的生日是 10th June 1994」,聽起來會有些奇怪、很勉強和不自然。

  • So, you want to say, "My birth date is the 10th of June 1994."

    所以你應該要說,「我的生日是 the 10th of June 1994」。

  • In American English, this is not essential.

    在美式英語中就沒有這個必要。

  • My birthday is June 10th 1994.

    我的生日是 June 10th 1994。

  • Now, something else that people tend to get really confused is how to say years.

    大家更容易混淆的是,要怎麼表達年份。

  • With years before the millennium, 1994, we know that we split it up into 2 sections: 18, 25; 10, 66; 10, 66, for example.

    千禧年以前的年份,例如 1994 年,我們會將它分成兩個部分:18 和 25、10 和 66,舉個例字就是 10 和 66。

  • Now, when we get past the year 2000, it starts to get a little bit more complicated.

    當超過 2000 年的時候,會開始變得比較複雜。

  • Now, there are two acceptable ways of saying the dates.

    有兩種方法可以表達這種日期。

  • You can say twenty and then the number.

    你可以說 twenty,然後接著說後面的數字。

  • Although, with the years before 2010, you want to say: o, nine.

    但如果是 2010 以前的年份,你就得用應文字母 o 加上 nine。

  • So you would say, twenty o eight, twenty o nine, twenty ten.

    所以我們會說 twenty o eight(2008)、twenty o nine(2009)、twenty ten(2010)。

  • Otherwise, if you say twenty nine, it sounds like the number 29.

    否則,你如果說了 twenty nine 的話,聽起來會很像數字 29。

  • So, you need to say twenty o nine.

    所以,您必須要說 twenty o nine。

  • I, however, prefer to say the full number.

    我比較喜歡說出完整的數字。

  • I like to say: two thousand and seventeen.

    我會說 two thousand and seventeen(2017)。

  • The important thing that you must remember is the "and".

    你必須要記得,and 在這裡非常重要。

  • It is absolutely essential that you include the "and" when you say a date starting with the year 2000.

    當要表達 2000 年起的日期時,and 是絕對必要的。

  • Two thousand and one, two thousand and ten, two thousand and seventeen.

    Two thousand and one(2001)、two thousand and ten(2010)、two thousand and seventeen(2017)。

  • Now, did you hear I say "n", "n"?

    有聽到我說的 "n"、"n" 嗎?

  • I just add an extra syllable and go "en", "en".

    我只是加一個額外的音節,發 "en" 、 "en" 的音 。

  • Two thousand "en" one, two thousand "en" seventeen; so I'm using the schwa sound.

    Two thousand "en" one(2001)、two thousand "en" seventeen(2017),所以我是用了混母音 /ə/。

  • Two thousand "en" seventeen, two thousand "en" twelve.

    Two thousand "en" seventeen(2017)、two thousand "en" twelve(2012)。

  • So, there you have it!

    就是這樣啦!

  • So, there you have ityour definitive guide on how to read dates in English.

    以上就是幫助你正確用英文表達日期的教學指引。

  • I hope that was useful for you; I hope you learned something.

    希望這個對各位有用、希望你們有學到東西。

  • Don't forget to connect with me on all of my social media.

    別忘了到我的社交平台跟我聯繫。

  • You've got my Instagram and my Facebook where I host a free live pronunciation lesson every Sunday at 4:30 GMT.

    我有 Instagram、還有 Facebook,每週日下午 4 點半(GMT)都會免費直播發音課程。

  • Don't forget to give this video a like, and if this is your first time visiting, make sure you subscribe.

    別忘了給這影片點個讚,如果你是第一次來到這個頻道的話,記得訂閱。

  • I will see you soon for another lesson.
