☆教材解读☆
1.英语中序数词的缩写形式
英语中序数词一般词尾都为-th,第一,第二,第三除外,它们的缩写
形式均在阿拉伯数字后面加上相应序数词的最后两个字母构成。
first (1st)第一 second (2nd) 第二 third (3rd) 第三
fourth (4th) 第四 fifth (5th) 第五 sixth (6th) 第六
seventh (7th) 第七 eighth (8th) 第八 ninth (9th) 第九
tenth (10th) 第十 eleventh (11th) 第十一
twelfth (12th) 第十二 thirteenth (13th) 第十三 fourteenth

2.英语中年月日的写法
英语中日期有两种写法:一种是按月、日、年的顺序排
列,另一种是按日、月、年的顺序排列。年份要放在最
后,其前用逗号与月、日隔开。以2001年3月21日为例:
(1)把月份写在日期前面,这通常是美式写法,即:
March 21st, 2001,读作March the twenty-first, two
thousand and one
(2)先写日子,再写月份和年,这通常是英式写法,即:
21st March, 2001,读作the twenty-first of March, two
thousand and one

“生日”, 相当于When were you born?

主代词+birthday ”或 “名词所有格+birthday”。

候?
My birthday is on May 2nd.我的生日是五月二日。
【注意】(1)在某年用介词in,在某月用介词in,在

in 1998 在1998年
in September, 2014 在2014年9月
on July 2nd,2015 在2015年7月2日
(2)在英语日期的表达中,“日”用序数词表达,书写时
定冠词the 可以省略,“年”用基数词表达,读年份时可
以将前两位数字作为一个单元,后两个数字作为一
个单元。
