词组 | per cent/percent/percentage |
释义 | per cent/percent/percentage 【问】 A. I am 100 percent in agreement with you. 我百分之百同意你。 B. Michigan provided 75 per cent of the annual output of motor vehicles in the U. S. A. 密执安州生产的汽车占美国汽车年产量的75%。 C. The liquor contains a small percentage of alcohol. 这种酒含酒精的百分比很小。 请问per cent,percent与percentage这三个词有什么区别? 【答】 per cent与percent的用法完全相同,都可用作名词或副词。美国英语喜欢写成一个词percent。percentage只能用作名词,前面一般不加具体的数目字,而只加表示定性的词语,如low,small,high,large,good,great等: 1. A good percentage of our pilots retire early. 我们很大一部分飞行员退休都很早。 2. He has succeeded in achieving a high percentage of cures. 他成功地获得了很高的治愈率。 3. A large percentage of the people came. 大部分人都来了。 现在我们能够很容易地判定下面句子里的毛病: A large per cent of the population was against nuclear weapons.(应将per cent改为:percentage) 反对核武器的人占人口很大百分比。 请做下面的英语试题: About ninety-five percentage of the money earned by railroads in the United Statescomes from hauling freight.
