電話號碼的讀法

英文電話號碼的念法與中文讀法相同，即用基數(shù)詞將數(shù)字讀出，如：Four-oh-one, five-five-five, six-seven-two-nine. 如果兩個連續(xù)的數(shù)字，可重復讀出，也可用 double 讀出，如：Four-oh-one, five-five-five, six-six-two-nine 也可讀成 Four-oh-one, five-five-five, double six-two-nine.“0”可用“oh”或“zero”讀出，上面的號碼可讀作：Four-one-zero, five-five-five, six-six-two-nine.
