中的百分数用基数percent表示.30%就是thirty percent50%翻译为fifty percent0.68%翻译为zero point six eight percent 6%翻译为six percent 369%翻译为three hundred and sixty nine percentPercent 常用By搭配使用英语,如The price of apple was reduced by 30 percent.棉花的价格下降了30%
譬如百分之三十二点五四,英语中可用数字符号表示为32.54%或32.54/100,这与中文中的数字符号写法相同; 但是文字写法和读法与中文顺序不同:thirty two point five four percent或thirty two point five four divided by one hundred,其中percent(百分之)表示于句尾。中文把“百分之”表示于句首,更好更早地把数字的特征表示出来了。由于英文中0-9数字和数位读音音节比中文繁多了一倍多,所以较大的数字往往不愿意读数位,如54,732,就读成five four seven three two,而正规的含数位的写、读为fifty four thousand seven hundred thirty two。
