英语中数字“0”如何读
How to say zero in English is very important to avoid misunderstandings.
As a non-native speaker, you might say the figure zero as a plain zero
which is absolutely fine, but often an English native speaker will use a
number of ways to say zero depending on where they are from. So
understanding what they mean is important.
0 is zero and in British English, it’s sometimes known as nought.
In telephone numbers, room numbers, bus numbers and dates (years),
we say oh.
The meeting is in Room 502 (five oh two).
You need to take Bus 205 (two oh five).
She was born in 1907 (nineteen oh seven).
My telephone number is 07781 020 560 (oh double seven eight
one oh two oh five six oh OR zero seven seven eight
one zero two zero five six zero).
For football scores we say nil: ‘The score was three nil (3-0) to Barcelona’.
American English uses various words for sports scores: The Yankees are
winning three nothing/ three zero/ three zip.
The decimal point (Notice that in English we say decimal point, and not a
dot as in internet addresses). In British English, zero and nought are used
before and after a decimal point.
Oh can be used after the decimal point.
