日期的表达（1）：月、日/号、星期 Expression of a Date (1): month, date, day of the week

汉语的日期表达方式遵循由大到小的原则，先说“月”，然后说“日/号”，最后说“星期”。口语一般常用“号”。
The way to say a date in Chinese observes the principle of "the bigger unit coming before the smaller one". The month is said first, then the date and finally the day of the week. In spoken Chinese, "号" is often used instead of "曰" to express the date.

汉语中日期的写法和读法都是从大到小。年要分别读出每个数字，再加上“年”；月、日要读出整个数字，再加上“月”、“日/号”。星期的读法是“星期”加上数字如。“2008年8月8号，星期五”读法是“èr línɡ línɡ bɑ̄ niɑ́n bɑ̄ yuè bɑ̄ hɑ̀o, xīnɡ qī wǔ”。
Chinese dates are written and read from the bigger unit to the smaller. A year is read digit by digit, followed by the character "年". A month or date is read the whole number followed by "月" and "日/号" respectively. A day of the week is expressed by the word "星期" plus a specific number. For example, "August 8th of 2008, Friday" is read as "èr línɡ línɡ bɑ̄ niɑ́n bɑ̄ yuè bɑ̄ hɑ̀o, xīnɡ qī wǔ".
