    千分之四

    说实在的，我一直对用英语表达数学的方法表示很奇怪和反感
    记得以前很小的时候，开始学one, two, three...
    就对three这个词表示头疼，因为我老是发不好th这个音
    继而，也开始对诸如seven, eleven之类的多音节词表示痛恨
    且不论月份和星期（那个实在太难了，特别是星期三，拼错了不知道多少回）
    就算是最简单的计数，英文都普遍比中文多出很多音节，而且没什么规律
    e-le-ven...三个音节，虽说是11，但是跟10还没有任何关系，好生难记
     
    现在学统计，发现了很多更让我头大的英语表达
    比如4‰
    中文用千分之四，英文却是four-tenth of a percent（百分之一的十分之四）
    呜呼，简单的一个符号，居然在英语的表达里还要做算术......
    不习惯的话，还得要化一秒钟才能反应过来
    那如果是万分之四呢？百分之一的十分之一的十分之四？
    或者如果硬是要说千分之十四呢？百分之一的十分之十四？
    夸张了
    可能是美国人的习惯吧
    幸亏没有用法语表达，否则计数就头大
    70是60+10，80是4*20，93是4*20+13...
     
    对于相同的东西
    英语跟中文也可能完全不同
    比如毕达哥拉斯定理
    呵呵，别想太复杂了
    因为中国人习惯叫它...........勾股定理

    还好感到麻烦的是语言表达而非统计本身。

    语言是种习惯，只有外国人学习语言，才会按照规律来。记得以前老师说，当你觉得有一个词只能够用英语表达的时候，那么你英语就学好了。
