feet to meters conversion

形容词

这里的形容词“10-foot”形容名词“ladder”。

Notice that both 15-foot and 10-foot come before the noun and there is a hyphen between the words. A hyphen is needed when a unit of measurement acts as an adjective.

注意15-foot和10-foot都放在了名词前,而且单词之间有连字符。当度量单位用作形容词时,需要加上连字符。

2. When used as a noun, we use the plural form: feet. Take a listen:

当用作名词时,我们用复数形式feet。来听一下:

The tree is 15 feet high.这棵树有15英尺高。

Here, the noun is “15 feet” and the adjective is “high.”

这里的“15 feet”是名词,形容词是“high”。

The ladder is 10 feet tall.这个梯子有10英尺高。

Here, the noun is “10 feet” and the adjective is “tall.” Notice that the noun form does not use a hyphen.

这里的“10 feet”是名词,形容词是“tall”。注意,名词形式不使用连字符。

名词

These two rules also apply to many other units of measurement.

这两个规则也同样适用于很多其他度量单位。

3. Lastly, we usually use the singular form when talking about a person’s height. This is an exception to the plural noun rule in number 2. Here’s an example:

3. 最后,我们通常用单数形式谈论人的身高。这是第2条名词复数规则的一个例外。这里有个例子:

I am 5-foot-6.我身高是5英尺6。

This is a common way of saying, “I am 5 feet 6 inches tall.”

这是个常见的说法,“我身高是5英尺6英寸。”

However, when the person’s height is an exact number of feet –without inches — we use the plural form.

但是,当一个人的身高是精确的英尺数字时——没有英寸——我们使用复数形式。

I am 5 feet.我5英尺高。He is 6 feet tall.他6英尺高。

The addition of “tall” is not required in everyday conversation.

在日常对话中不需要加“tall”这个词。
