這是一個英國人關於引進中國數學書的評論：
Following that logic the Germans would have to be far behind us because for them the number 327495 is “three hundred seven and twenty thousand four hundred five and ninety”. It occasionally still causes me to stumble mentally even after deades of living here but not them: even fairly uneducated Germans seem to cope with it — just as well as we in fact cope with “fifteen” and so on. (Don’t you?) And what about the French with their “four twenties eleven” for 91? I think we have to look elsewhere for our problems.
對法國人而言原來91是4個20和11。
