以一百為底計算
登入就可以看這一支怎麼連回核心畫面。
percent (per hundred) · r · B1
Used after a number to show how many parts out of every 100 you mean.
百分之…
You can picture 'percent' as 'out of every hundred': split a whole into 100 equal pieces, and percent tells you how many of those pieces you mean. The word comes from Latin 'per centum' = 'by the hundred,' and every use stays tied to that single picture of counting in hundredths.
可以想成「每一百份裡的幾份」:把一個整體切成 100 等份,percent 就告訴你你指的是其中的幾份。這個字來自拉丁文 per centum,意思是「按每一百」(per=每,cent=一百),所以不管是「百分之…」、「百分比」,還是「百分之百=完全」,全都繞著「以一百為底來算」這個畫面打轉。
From the word’s history
From Latin 'per centum', meaning 'by the hundred' — per = by/for each, centum = hundred. This literal 'for each hundred' is exactly the modern core.
來自拉丁文 per centum,字面就是「按每一百」:per 是「每、按」,centum 是「一百」。這個「每一百份」的字面意思,正好就是它今天的核心畫面。
