Million Number People ˈmɪljən Plural Informal Large Things

The word "million" means the number 1,000,000. It is used without an 's' when preceded by a specific number or quantity (e.g., "a million", "one million"). When used to indicate a very large but unspecified number, it takes an 's' (e.g., "millions of people"). Informally, "a million" can also mean a very large quantity.

million 是一个表示数字一백万的英文单词。当其表示具体数字时,如“a million”、“one million”或在数字后面时,后面不加 s。当用于表示不确定的很多数量时,如“millions of people” 或 “millions of things”,则表示“数百万的”或“大量的”,此时 million 后加 s。此外,“a million”还可以作非正式用法,表示“很多”或“大量的”。
