Picture the count rolling over: twenty-nine, then a new ten opens and you land on 30. That one number is the whole word. Everything else happens when English takes 30 as the start of a stretch — 30, 31, 32 … 39 — and calls the whole stretch the thirties, a plural you can use for years, ages, or degrees.
可以想成數線上數過 29,翻過一個十位,落在 30。這個數字本身就是整個字。其他用法都是同一件事:英文把 30 當成一段的起點——30、31、32…一直到 39——再把整段叫作 the thirties(複數),年代、年紀、溫度都能這樣講。
