既然講到購物消費,就不能不提這個單位的問題....
基本上,在台灣大部分的單位都是公制的
1 公里 = 1000 公尺 = 100000 公分 = 1000000 公釐
1 公升 = 10 公合 = 1000 公撮
1 公斤 = 1000 公克
1 張千元鈔票 = 2 張 500 元鈔票 = 10 張 100 元鈔票 =
20 枚 50 元硬幣 = 100 枚 10 元硬幣 = 1000 枚 1 元硬幣
水在零度結冰,在100度沸騰
十進位的世界多麼美好又和諧啊~ XDD
不過,人生絕對不是我們憨人想的那麼簡單的....
在美國:
1 mile(英里) = 1760 yard(碼) = 5280 foot(英尺) = 63360 inch(英吋)
= 1.61 公里 = 1609.34 公尺
1 加侖(美制,非英制) = 4 quart(夸脫) = 8 pint(品脫) = 16 cup(杯)
= 128 ounce(液盎司) = 1024 dram(打蘭)
= 3.785 公升
1 cup(杯) = 16 tablespoon(湯匙) = 48 teaspoon(茶匙)
= 0.236 公升
1 pound(磅,美制,非英制) = 16 ounce(盎司) = 0.453 公斤
(短噸 short ton 和 石 stone 就暫且略過不提了,一般消費不會用到)
1 美元 = 4 枚 quarter 硬幣 = 10 dime 硬幣 = 100 cent 硬幣
水在華氏 32 度結冰,華氏 212 度沸騰
究竟是誰說美國人的數學不好的?
人家可是從小就在使用複雜的四進位16進位勒~
那像我們,心算不夠的還把手指頭都派上用場,一整個就被比下去了啊!!!!
不過說真的,買東西的時候看這些單位換算真的是讓人很頭大
買露營帳,台灣都是標長寬高幾米幾米,北歐也是
在美國則是要看長是幾呎幾吋、寬又是幾呎幾吋、還有高...
給汽車加油也是同樣的情形,台灣油價是算每公升多少錢,
在美國則是用加侖計算,所以在比汽車耗油性的時候就變成每英里多少加侖,
而不是每公里多少公升
租車要注意儀表板是以美制單位(加侖+英里)還是公制單位(公升+公里)
路邊的里程標示也是英里而非公里,所以跟自己的GPS會有不一樣是正常的...

iPod 真的是我的購物好幫手啊~
除了可以記錄花費、看到喜歡又買不下手的也可以先記下價錢、
最重要的是可以幫我換算匯率和單位!!!(大心)

戀愛比做愛困難
戀愛要訴諸感覺,而做愛只要刺激感官
