2012年商务英语写作：英语中较大数值的书写

会计考友

I often see numbers written like this: 19.456 thousand or this: 19,456 thousand. Neither is correct in English, and both may cause confusion.
我经常看到有人这么用英语来写数字：19.456千，或者19,456千。这两种写法都不对，而且会引起误会。

在英语中，除了表示“百万”，“十亿”，“万亿”等词外，数字和单词是不能混用的。比如，你如果写24千，那就是错的，你应该写成24,000 或者twenty-four thousand（用数字，就全部用数字；用单词，就全部用单词；不能夹杂着用）。
