【117599.16】翻译为英语是【one hundred seventeen thousand five hundred and nighty nine point one six】。数字翻译要点:1)含有小数的万位数字或亿位数字:因为英语中没有 “万”和“亿”的数字概念,所以相关的数字翻译必须要进行转换, “万”要换成“ ten thousand” , “亿”要换成“ one hundred million”。2)含有整数和小数的数字:英语数字读基数,小数点后的 “零”读英语字母 “o”的发音或者“zero/naught”。如105.65要读为one hundred and five point six five。
