先看一组例子：
- 8.05: eight (oh) five 或five past eight
- 8.10: eight ten 或 ten past eight
- 8.15: eight fifteen 或 a quarter past eight
- 8.25: eight twenty-five 或 twenty-five past eight
注解：分钟数小于30，用past，注意需分钟在前，钟点在后哦，即“分钟 past 钟点”。
- 8.30: eight thirty 或 half past eight
注解：分钟数为30，直接用half，half past 钟点
- 8.35: eight thirty-five 或 twenty-five to nine
- 8.45: eight forty-five 或 a quarter to nine
- 8.50: eight fifty 或 ten to nine
注解：分钟数大于30，用to，注意需分钟（60-实际分钟数）在前，钟点在后（具体钟点加1），即“60-分钟数 to 钟点加1”
- 9.00: nine o’clock
注解：整点播报常加上o’clock
另外，零点播报，尽管英式英语用nought，美式英语用zero，可也经常被读作英语字母O的发音。
