天天聽著花樣翻新的金融新聞，讀著網上網下各種分析，想著政府救市的錢不過是在大桶裏掉了一滴水，真嚇得心驚膽顫。 這加快馬力印票子可不是好玩的。TNND，幾個月前就想買紙上黃金，俺還沒動手它就翻身了。
看著唾沫橫飛的主持人們動不動就把個萬億 掛在嘴邊上，搞得我好奇這trillion之後是啥數字單位？zillion? 有多少個零啊？
溝來一篇文章科普一下，咱也得跟上革命形勢,搞明白這無價的信用危機到底有多少個零？
Million, Billion, Trillion...© Copyright 1999, Jim Loy People sometimes ask me the names of the large numbers. Here is a table. The system used in the U.S. is not as logical as that used in other countries (like Great Britain, France, and Germany). In these other countries, a billion (bi meaning two) has twice as many zeros as a million, and a trillion (tri meaning three) has three times as many zeros as a million, etc. But the scientific community seems to use the American system. | Number of zeros | U.S. & scientific community | Other countries | | 3 | thousand | thousand | | 6 | million | million | | 9 | billion | 1000 million (1 milliard) | | 12 | trillion | billion | | 15 | quadrillion | 1000 billion | | 18 | quintillion | trillion | | 21 | sextillion | 1000 trillion | | 24 | septillion | quadrillion | | 27 | octillion | 1000 quadrillion | | 30 | nonillion | quintillion | | 33 | decillion | 1000 quintillion | | 36 | undecillion | sextillion | | 39 | duodecillion | 1000 sextillion | | 42 | tredecillion | septillion | | 45 | quattuordecillion | 1000 septillion | | 48 | quindecillion | octillion | | 51 | sexdecillion | 1000 octillion | | 54 | septendecillion | nonillion | | 57 | octodecillion | 1000 nonillion | | 60 | novemdecillion | decillion | | 63 | vigintillion | 1000 decillion | | 66 - 120 | | undecillion - vigintillion | | 303 | centillion | | | 600 | | centillion |
