Dates 日期

In English, we can say dates either with the day before the month, or the month before the day:

你可以先說日期也可以先說月份：

The first of January / January the first.

Remember to use ordinal numbers for dates in English.

(The first, the second, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the twenty-second, the thirty-first etc.)

Years 年份

1871 = eighteen seventy-one

2000年之后的年份，(英式英語中)你要說"two thousand and ..."：

2001 = two thousand and one
