即便英文程度不錯的人，用英文表達數字時還是會詞窮。主要原因是我們數學都是用中文學的，英文課裡沒有教加減乘除。但我們發現，討論財務、行銷、會計....甚至很多簡報上，這些簡單的數學表達都變成我們英文流利的最大障礙。

用英文表達這些數字計算，我們先從單字，再進化到片語；這類表達，難只難在第一次，會了就一勞永逸。

現在，享受一下當小學生的樂趣，把英文和數學加起來學！

來做一個小練習，試著把下面的片語動詞填入下列空格中。
come to / add up / round up / average out / take away

Here's a little test of your mental arithmetic（心算）

1. __________________ the following numbers; 18, 22, 33, 3, 15
(The answer is 91)

2. Now _________________ 34 from the previous answer.
(The answer is 57)

3. Now divide 91 by 50. It __________1.82.

4. Now ______ the answer _____ to the nearest whole number.
(The answer is 2)

5. Finally, last Monday I worked 7 hours, on Tuesday I worked 10 hours, on Wednesday I worked 9 hours, on Thursday I worked 10 and on Friday I went home early and only worked 4 hours. What does the number of hours per day I worked ___________________ at?
(The answer is 8 hours per day)

有點挑戰，你說對了嗎？記得不要只是做對題目，是要在口語把這些應用出來！

答案：
1. add up（加總）
2. take away（減掉） 
3. comes to（一共是）
4. round…up（四捨五入）
5. average out（平均）
