Hundred（百），在古代斯堪的纳维亚语中写作hundrath是hund（百）加上garathjan（计数）的中间几个字母合成的。 Thousand（千），古英语中写作thusend，是从拉丁语的tumere（膨胀）以及其它一些词中节选了一部分，再加上hund（百）而合成的。意思是说“千”是“膨胀了的百”。 Million（百万），来自古意大利语的milione，mile-是一个拉丁语前缀，意思是“千”。Milione是“千”的加强式、扩大式。这个词经法语进入中古英语时写作milioun，后来演变为今天的million。 英语“加、减、乘、除”的来历 英语的“加”叫add，来自拉丁语addo，ad即“to”； do “put”合起来即put to，也就是“加上”。 减，英语subtract，来自拉丁 |

She smiled and he though
