dollar 应改用复数,因为这样用的 dollar 是可数名词。如:
Can I pay in US dollars? 我可以用美元支付吗?
How
much is that in US dollars? 按美元算是多少钱?
The price of oil is given in US dollars. 石油的价格是以美元标价的。
The borrowings were denominated in US dollars. 借款以美元结算。
dollars前面的 US 也可以换成 American 或省略。如:
You will be paid in American dollars. 款项将用美元支付给你。
The price is given in dollars or euros. 价格用美元或欧元标出。
You can pay in dollars or Euros at the airport. 在机场你可以使用美元或欧元。
The prices are expressed in both dollars and pounds. 用美元和英镑两种货币来标价。
如果将 dollar 换成 currency,则用单数:
They were paid in US currency. 他们的报酬是用美元支付的。
注:currency 可用作可数或不可数名词——表示一国的货币时,不可数;表不同国家的货币时,可数。比较并体会:
You'll need some cash in local currency but you can also use your credit card. 你将需要一些当地的货币现金,但也可使用信用卡。
Countries enjoying surpluses will be under no pressure to revalue their currencies. 享有贸易顺差的国家将不会受到调高本国货币币值的压力。
